I'm struggling with a cheap storage cart where the drawers keep coming off the rails when they get any weight in them. The drawers deform and don't fit properly anymore. Does anyone have tips or solutions to help them hold their shape and stay on track?

Unfortunately, these types of drawers often have a flawed design, so they tend to bend and fall off when loaded. One suggestion is to reinforce them by glueing strips of wood or metal across the width of the drawers to add rigidity. Just keep in mind that any extra reinforcement will also add weight. You could also try glueing thin metal strips along the slides to make the rails sturdier, though this might require some adjustments to fit properly.
One humorous but honest take is to just convince the women in your life to stop buying cheap stuff! If you figure that out, let me know how you did it!
LOL good luck with that! ?

Good luck with that mission, lol.
