What kind of drawers are best?
What constitutes quality drawer construction is the type of joinery used and the quality of the materials. Types of joints used might be a dovetail, rabbet, dowel, finger joint or a simple butt joint. The one that has stood the test of time and the most appealing is the dovetailed drawer. Pull out a drawer from an antique piece of furniture. Chances are it’s made of hardwood and has small dovetails cut into the sides of the drawer. This method is not only attractive, but very strong and will last for many years. The dovetailed drawer is our most common method of construction.
