Default drawer type

I'm building a set of file cabinets and wanted to know what kind of
joint would be the best for me to use. I don't have a dovetail jig and
I don't have a biscuit joiner, nor is it in my budget to purchase one.

I was thinking of using a rabbeted joint in the back.

What do you reccommend?


I don't own a dovetail jig either and I routinely use rabbet joints in the
front and in the back. You can reinforce them with screws. Very strong
joint, just not as perty as a dovetail joint. I usually plug the screw
holes with a contrasting wood.
