Abstract

A drawer pull-out guide includes a first guide rail and a second guide rail displaceably supported relative to one another. A supporting element is arranged on the first guide rail, and the supporting element is configured to be supported, at least temporarily, on the second guide rail. A position of the supporting element relative to the second guide rail can be adjusted by an adjustment device, and, after adjustment has been made, can be fixed relative to the first guide rail. The at least one supporting element can be adjusted in a height direction, seen in the mounted position of the drawer pull-out guide, by the adjustment device.
