Found out a surprising stat about drawer slide weight ratings today

I was looking up specs for a client's heavy kitchen drawers and learned most standard 22-inch soft close slides are only rated for 75 pounds. Blew my mind because I've definitely loaded way more than that into them on previous jobs without issue. Has anyone else ever pushed those limits and had them fail down the road?

Aren't you just lucky you didn't get a callback?
