A client's simple note about my drawer slides completely changed my approach

They said the action felt 'gritty' on a built-in I delivered, so I switched from the basic side-mounts to full-extension undermounts on the next project. The difference in feel is night and day... anyone have a go-to brand for soft-close undermounts they trust?

You tried Blum yet? They're pricier but I switched after a similar grit issue on a kitchen job and never looked back. The difference is massive - my last set had this smooth, weighted feel that clients actually notice and mention. They're a pain to install compared to side mounts but worth it for the feedback you get. Just make sure your box is square or the adjustment tabs will drive you crazy.

Oh man, Blum is legit overpriced though. You can get the same smooth feel from Chinese copies for half the cost.
