3Burows Cabinets’ top-of-the-line drawer box upgrade is a solid, 5/8″ thick maple dovetail drawer box. This solid dovetail box gives your drawer boxes a look that is beautifully detailed and shows the level of quality that has gone into your cabinets. The strength of dovetail drawer boxes is especially beneficial in heavily loaded silverware drawers, plate and pan drawers and any drawer where there is significant use and/or weight.
