Hi,
I would like to buy an armoire and install drawers in it. Is it possible
to buy some basic drawers somewhere? I checked HD and Lowe's and they
have drawer slides, but I didn't find any drawers.
Many thanks in advance,
Aaron
Drawers are made to fit an opening and there are no standards for
that. Ask a woodworker or make your own boxes. Easy to make with a
tablesaw. For corners you can use a drawer-lock joint or box joint
for stength, or a simple rabbet joint for shallow or small drawer
boxes. A dovetail joint is the strongest (and nicer looking) but
usually not required with slides. Flush fit drawers are very nice but
challenging, lipped drawer fronts install faster.
