Drawer Boxes

Our drawer boxes are constructed with dovetail joinery and premium plywood for smooth operation and lasting durability. Available with soft-close slides for a quiet, luxurious feel in every interaction.

How to Choose

It comes down to the look you want, how much storage matters and your budget. Frameless holds the most and looks the most modern. Full overlay gets close to that look and is the one we build most often. Inset is the most traditional and costs the most, because every door is fitted to its own opening by hand.

None of the three is better in the abstract. We will tell you which one suits your room at the design consultation.

The Same Build Quality Throughout

Whichever one you choose, what goes inside the cabinet does not change: dovetail drawer boxes in premium plywood, soft-close hinges and slides throughout, and finishing done in our own shop.

Construction Is Not the Door Style

These two get mixed up a lot. Construction is how the door sits on the box; door style is the front of the door. Any of our four door styles works with any of the three above, so you can pick them separately.
