I glued box, let dry and added biscuits.
I think it will last.

No that is American white oak and is the actual front of drawer.
Which by the way has become the timber of choice here, since the greenies stopped us milling our native timber.
Not original, but method might be.

I did that same thing a few years back on a mission chest of drawers. I soaked the dominos in dye to make them standout. I can guarantee that joint will last

Brian,
Very nice drawer construction with dominos, it looks great.

Great idea to soak the dominos in dye-looks very nice!

A non-domino way to do a similar thing is to get some of those bamboo skewers that you would use for doing shish kabob on the barbecue. Put the drawer sides in a rabbet in the drawer face and drill holes the size of the skewers. Drive the skewers into the holes, with glue. Sand (or cut) the skewers off. Makes a nice looking joint.

That sounds good..
A picture of same will help us to decide if we should give it a try.

Frankly, to me, looks like the result of using too large a biscuit size.

I've done that with dowels, didn't think of dying the dowels though.
It worked OK and beech dowels in pine don't look bad.
No photos as the drawers are 15 miles away.

Sorry, I meant that the the sides of the drawers appear as if biscuits were thicker or deeper than the thickness of the drawer sides.
In other words when the biscuit joiner was used, the blade went right through the material. Then the biscuit was inserted and the protruding part was sanded flush.
I accidentally did this myself once when I had the joiner set for no. 20 biscuit on too thin material.
Don't have a Domino, but I really like the idea and will do that with some dowels the next drawer I do. Thanks.

Gustav Stickley thinks it will last also.
Some of his joinery is basically the same, except he used dowels.
