I will be designing and building a dresser soon and I am wonder how to construct the drawer boxes. In the past I used 1/2" plywood for the sides and 1/4" plywood (more like 3/16" or even a bit thinner) for the bottom, with the box just being glued and stapled together. I used this construction method on a computer desk and it works great but in a larger drawer with considerably more weight in them I'm not sure if it will be strong enough. I don't think that I am good enough to try dovetails yet, so what method of drawer construction would you recommend?
Also, if anyone has plans for a nice looking dresser or chest of drawers please share them with me.
Thanks,
Stephen
