So you're saying there's 1/8" of sag? Based on a prior post
where I think you said the sides extend 1/2" below the groove.

I don't think I'd worry about 1/8" of sag.


"...the gap between the straight edge and the bottom of the drawer
at the center of the bottom."

That's pretty deeply bowed, indeed. Wonder what was in the drawers but
36" is a long unsupported span for what appears to be pretty thin material.

I haven't mic'ed the bottom, but it's probably 1/4". I'm not home right now,
so that's just a guess.
