How Do I Get the Drawers Out of My Six-Drawer Chest?

Six-drawer chests are useful pieces of furniture for storing clothing and other items, such as crafting material. Drawers are designed to be removable, even if it takes a little bit of finagling to pull them out. All drawers move on sliders, usually made of metal, that allow for easy pushing and pulling. Sometimes the drawer is attached to the slider and has to be removed before you can pull it out.
