What are the benefits of soft close drawer systems?

Soft close drawer slides help minimise any slamming noise from the drawer. With the drawer soft closing, this can also preserve the life of the drawer and protects the finish of the cabinetry. The soft closing feature also means that the drawer will always be neatly closed rather than left partially open.
