Default Dresser Side Panel Question

I am going to make my panels for my walnut dresser from solid lumber (no
ply). The panels will measure 21" long X 15 3/4" wide. Will 1/4" thick
panels be sufficient or will they be too flimsy? They will sit in grooves
in the rails (top and bottom) and in grooves in the legs (left and right).
If I go with 1/2 thick panels I will need to make my rails thicker.

Will 1/4" thick be sufficient? I know that if I was using plywood it would
probably be too flimsy.
