All but the smallest drawers in Curtis permanent furniture are made with dovetailed corners that cannot pull apart. They operate on slides (A), which prevent wobbling and binding. The laminated drawer bottoms are set into grooves in the sides and ends of the drawers. The bottoms cannot shift about.
The mortise-and-tenon joint is used in the face of cabinet work and in the stiles and rails of doors.
