Seeking Advice - trying to slide particle board base into sides of drawer

I bought the sniglar changing table - the instructions have me assembling three sides of the top and then "sliding" the particle board bottom into the three sides and closing it off with the 4th side - but I am having a bear of a time getting the board to slide and when I tap the ends of the particle board it just crushs surly making the forth side difficult to slide into the track... Any tricks to make the "sliding" easier - baby power, soap?

just fyi.. I got it put together.... if you are ever struggling with this yourself - put the particle board in the two long sides tracks and then put on the ends - forget the "sliding" down the track...

So glad you were able to figure it out.

IKEA gets those instructions right a good portion of the time, but I've definitely modified them from time to time to make my assembly easier.
