The inside of the fronts and backs have a 3/32” radius, the outside face of the fronts and backs are square. The sides are profiled with a 3/32” radius inside and out with a smooth flat surface in the middle.
OFF ) 1/32" Offset: +$
Top edge gets 1/32” offset which appears to be flush. All top edges are slightly eased and finished. The sides are set just 1/32” lower than the fronts and backs to die in just below the eased portion of the fronts and backs to give the drawer a clean square edged look without the extra expense of sanding and finishing the assembled top edge joint.
