I need to know what is best to put draw back together. The bottom of the draw is coming apart. Can I use some type of glue or what.

    I have had many of the thin drawer bottoms sag and not want to stay in the slots. I usually turn them over and that works for me. You could use any glue that works with what the bottom is made of.

    I have taken the back of drawers off and slipped the bottom back in. If the bottom is warped I would replace it with a new piece. Another solution is to pop it back into the grooves and use thin wood glued to the bottom to brace it and keep it from popping out.

    Dorene,. You need some wood glue, and a few finishing nails. Reinforce the draw with both. Aloha!
