I like side-hung drawers for their simplicity, for how smoothly they slide, and for the clean look they let you achieve. When I built my recent sideboard (see pp. 32-41), I wanted the three drawer fronts to be uninterrupted by dividers, and side-hung drawers made that possible. I find that side-hung drawers operate smoothly even when heavily loaded-like the ones in my tool chest, which are still sliding nicely decades after I built them. It's also a boon that the runners of side-hung drawers serve as adjustable drawer stops.
