Common situations
A worn small component may be replaceable when a matching part exists and the remaining box is sound. The decision depends on condition and availability. A photo-based enquiry should not promise that discontinued hardware can be sourced or adapted.
A loose drawer front can involve its connecting hardware or the material around the fixing. Show both the front and accessible attachment points. Repeatedly tightening a screw into damaged material may not provide the support needed for normal use.
Loose corners, a damaged base or swollen panels can affect the whole drawer, even if the runner still moves. Identify moisture exposure or previous repairs. Major reconstruction or bespoke replacement boxes are outside a minor furniture repair assumption.
