Dustproofing Push-to-Open Drawers

See the gap between the shelf and the drawer front where dust can enter I recently bought a used Ikea Bestå TV Bench and am fed up with these huge gaps at the top of the drawers. I found these spring loaded door brushes but haven't pulled the trigger yet https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07JN3Z7QM I am curious if others have encountered and hopefully solved this issue. A firm rubber lip (TPU?) would also be better than a brush as dust would be easier to vacuum from the smooth top surface but I haven't found anything like that yet. Anything that I put there needs to have around .5cm give due to the push drawers. A straight rubber lip (for doors) is cheap but I fear it would provide too much resistance as the whole length would need to buckle at once to let the drawer open. submitted by /u/Thereos_ [link] [comments]
