Cammie, Thank you for taking the time to leave us your thoughts on the 22 in. Side Mount Drawer Slide. I am sorry that this product did not meet your expectations. While this slide is not exactly 22 inches (due to the conversion from mm to inches), it is intended to fit a drawer that is 22 inches. If installing on a face frame cabinet, the socket set (model # D688SEC-W-TX) is required and with that addition will make the slide slightly longer. If you have any additional questions on the type and size of drawer slide needed, you may refer to the Drawer Slide Buying Guide found here: http://www.homedepot.com/c/drawer_slides_HT_BG_HA
I apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your feedback. Best, Corinne with Customer Care
