Drawer Heights

Please use this chart to determine the best drawer heights relative to Bottom Placement and Thickness. Standard drawer heights are on one inch increments plus the amount found on the charts below.

Note: Other drawer heights that do not fall within these guidelines can be achieved by cutting off the top dovetail and removing a cutter from the machine. Custom VARIABLE SPACING is also available at an additional cost.

Extra charges may apply to drawers with non-standard heights. Heights are in one inch increments. These charts show the ideal height range to achieve even top and bottom margins on the pins.
