Alls I’m saying is, you get what you pay for. Frankly, the slide assembly should be tempered steel as well, to minimize deflection and wear. You’re not gonna maintain rigidity with galvanized L-brackets either, and the pulley system should have bushings. Slap a small motor on it and a palm button control, you got efficiency and ease of operation.

If we want to truly honor the 18th century craftsmen we wouldn't use L brackets at all. Maybe some nice wedged through-tenons and dovetails and stuff. I guess it depends on the aesthetic. Like are we going for historic, or can we 3d-print the little decorative swirly bits?
