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

Not enough information yet.
Photos? Measurements?1 -
Plenty of videos on youtube showing various methods of strengthening sagging drawers.
Things that are differerent: draw & drawer, brought & bought, loose & lose, dose & does, payed & paid2 -
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?
I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!
