Something stuck behind a drawer! Help!

Question

My nightstand has something stuck behind it that I cannot reach. The drawer does not close all the way because of the item that is stuck. The drawer does not come out. How can I get the item so the drawer will close properly. Thank you.

Can you remove any of the drawers? If so take them out, and try reaching up. Take a pair of tweezers and try fishing out the item. Take everything else out of the nightstand, and turn it upside own. The item may fall to the top (which will be on the floor / bottom) - then you can get it out.

This happened to me. I just reached under the stuck drawer in the back, and pulled the item out.

Have you tried tipping the drawer up when you get to the end? Sometimes there is a lip at the top of the drawer to help prevent it from falling out.

Can you remove the backing to get to the area? I would first take out the drawers that can be removed and see if I could feel in the back for any object that fell. If you only have one drawer go for the backing to be removed and try it from that angle.

Did you figure it out? I was wondering because I have same issue. It’s an expensive piece so no way to remove back without damage and each drawer has wood lining underneath so cant get to it from bottom. The whole piece is solid cherry pine wood. I need help with an answer also to this situation
