As a trusted partner for manufacturers, we understand that quality and craftsmanship are non-negotiable.

Designed to withstand years of heavy use, these drawers are the perfect choice for high-end kitchens, luxurious vanities, and custom furniture.

Why Choose Our Dovetail Drawers?

Superior Dovetail Joinery: Our signature half-blind dovetail joints are engineered for exceptional strength. This classic joinery method ensures your drawers are highly resistant to being pulled apart, providing a robust solution that lasts a lifetime.

Premium Maple: We use high-quality maple as our standard material, known for its hardness, durability, and smooth grain. This choice guarantees a beautiful and long-lasting product that's ready for any finish. We also stock Walnut, White Oak and Plywood.

Precision and Consistency: Every drawer is meticulously crafted with state-of-the-art equipment to ensure precise measurements and tolerances. This guarantees effortless assembly and a perfect fit every time, saving you time and labor.

No Minimum Quantity: Whether you need one custom drawer for a specific project or a thousand for a large production run, we have no minimum quantity. We are flexible and here to support your needs, big or small.

Material

5/8" thick maple sides and a 1/4" plywood bottom (3/8" option available).

Joinery

Classic half-blind dovetails, visible on the sides of the drawer for a high-end look.

Bottom Groove

Precisely machined 1/2" from the bottom for perfect integration with your slides.

Condition

Prefinished and fully assembled, ready for immediate installation.

Bottom Panel

Our standard bottom panel is crafted from Plywood. Unlike materials such as MDF or melamine, plywood is more resistant to moisture and humidity, ensuring durable, long-lasting service. For compatibility with modern hardware, the panel is recessed 1/2” from the bottom of the drawer—the industry standard for most undermount slides. Suitable for most daily items, even pots and pans, our standard thickness is 1/4”. For drawers intended for heavier loads, you can upgrade to 3/8” Plywood.

Joinery Style and Standard Heights

Our standard Half-Blind Dovetail offers superior strength and keeps the dovetails hidden from the drawer face. The sides are slightly lower than the fronts and backs, ensuring a clean and elegant look.

While we can manufacture any intermediate height, our most cost-effective pricing is achieved using our standard heights. They range from 2 - 12” at every inch increment. Manufacturing is possible for in-between heights up to 22” (our maximum), but note that the pricing will be higher due to the manual preparation of parts.

Logo Branding

Elevate your finished product by adding your company's logo to your drawers. Branding is an excellent way to ensure your beautiful designs carry your name and maintain your corporate identity for years to come.

We offer two distinct placement options:

Inside (Option ESI): Branded on the interior left side of the drawer.
Outside (Option ESX): Branded on the exterior right side of the drawer.

Maximum logo dimensions are 2” high by 4” wide. To process your custom branding, we require a digital, high-resolution, black-and-white version of your logo.
