Warped draw bottoms.

Hello.
I've just bought some second hand cupboard but I've noticed the bottom on two of them are already sagging. Do you have any idea tips to reinforce  them?
Thanks

Photos? Measurements?

Plenty of videos on youtube showing various methods of strengthening sagging drawers.

Anything that sags is going to be poor quality.

Can you identify what the base is made of? Hardboard, plywood etc.

Would it be possible to replace the base? slide in some new wood?

The base is approx  25inches  wide and 15 inches deep.
Looks like the base are glorified  thick cardboard that's been coated with a varnish?

Hardboard?? Feels like a thick cardboard type material  that's been vanished.

The base as been glued into the groove  all around so don't want to try dismantle  it.
