Question
the plastic glider piece that is under the dresser drawer is broke so  it does not open properly it does not  glide on the track to open to the drawer is this plastic piece replaceable?

Answer
You would probably have to hunt down a furniture store that carries those type of plastic glides. I know my store no longer has any dressers with that type. They do keep breaking. I had them on a dresser of mine at home, and I had them all swapped out for wooden glides that I could attach better to the dresser(glued and screwed)

The wooden glides have held up much better and still have the same purpose. My drawers have cut out grooves that allow them to slide on the wooden pieces I attached to the dresser.
