When you dream of remodeling your kitchen (or bathroom or laundry room or home office) you may find yourself imagining the beauty of new cabinets, and perhaps focusing on the enhanced organization they’ll provide! Did you know there are details to your new drawers that will also make your life a little easier?!
Drawers are actually a key component of new cabinetry. Used as often as — if not more than — cabinet doors themselves, drawers provide handy space for easy access to tools, gadgets, cutlery, even dishes, spices, and more.
So what brings out the best in a drawer? We’d like to share some of our favorite features…
Dovetail Drawers – LONGEVITY
With corners secured using the interlocking “dovetail” design, dovetail drawers are built for strength and durability. Dovetail joints are a sign of a well-constructed drawer built from solid wood instead of chipboard. And because the “pins” and “tails” of the joint naturally resist being pulled apart, the dovetail joint remains strong over time, making them ideal drawers to withstand heavy, everyday use for years to come.
