Benefits of Dovetail Drawers
Updated on: September 02, 2021
Throughout their lives, kitchen cabinet drawers are opened and closed around 7-10 times a day, or up to 3500 times a year! Making sure that you pick a drawer joint that can withstand this type of wear and tear is crucial to the longevity of your kitchen cabinets. Dovetail joints are considered one of the strongest joints used in kitchen cabinetry construction and are the best solution for a kitchen cabinet drawer box.

Usually when a dovetail joint is assembled and finished at the cabinet manufacturer, you will get the best quality in terms of durability and aesthetics. The manufacturer will assemble the drawer box sides before sanding the entire drawer to make sure that all the joints are smooth before applying the finishing coat to the entire drawer. This process will result in a very attractive joint for the end user.
