I am having trouble getting the drawer to open smoothly, it feels stuck and has a lot of resistance.
Is there something I can do to fix this or is it a defect?

The issue with the drawer not opening smoothly is likely due to the drawer glides needing some maintenance. Here are the steps to fix this:

1. Fully extend the drawer out and inspect the drawer glides. Look for any dirt, debris or obstructions that may be causing the resistance.

2. Use a soft cloth to wipe down the drawer glides, removing any dust or grime buildup.

3. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or furniture polish to the drawer glides. This will help reduce friction and allow the drawer to open and close more smoothly.

4. Make sure the drawer is properly aligned within the cabinet. Check that it is not rubbing against the sides or bottom of the opening.

5. If the issue persists, the drawer glides may need to be adjusted or replaced. This is a relatively simple repair that you can likely do yourself using basic tools.

Let me know if this helps resolve the problem with your GALANT drawer unit. The key is regular maintenance of the drawer glides
