Default Drawer side stock?

I personally prefer the thinner drawer sides aesthetically plus if one is
using a side-mount slide one loses an inch of opening for the typical and
3/4" stock costs another 1-1/2" -- that's a lot of space to give up
unless there's just unlimited room available.


Check your math. That "costs another 1 1/2" above is only operative if
you're using no drawer sides at all.

With today's undermount drawer slides it's even less. You rarely see a
modern kitchen with sidemount drawer slides these days, particularly with
the dovetail drawers that many around here are going to shoot for.
