I am in planning stages of a dresser. The overall dimensions are 61" long, 35" high, 20" deep. There will be 10 drawers total; 3 rows of double drawers and a row of 4 drawers at the top. I am planning to use post and panel construction for the sides. For joining the horizontal dividers to the sides (posts) traditionally sliding dovetails are used.
How sturdy will it be to replace those sliding dovetails with loose tenons (dominoes, specifically)?
My concern is because where the tenons are joined to the posts, the joint may not be strong enough given it is edge grain to end grain glue area. What do you think?
