How to Assemble a Chest of Drawers at Home?
How to assemble a chest of drawers
To assemble a chest of drawers, you'll need some basic tools and the following information. Start by determining the height of the drawers. A chest should be taller than the drawers. If your chest isn't tall enough, use a shorter unit. If you have children, anchor the chest to a wall. Then, assemble the remaining pieces. You can begin putting the drawers in their proper places.
Depending on the design of your dresser, you may have to assemble some of the parts separately. Make sure you assemble them the same way, ensuring the holes match. Attach the drawer faces to the back and sides of the dresser using wood screws. To make the assembly easier, you can dry-assemble the drawers before beginning the final assembly. After you've done this, you can screw in the drawer fronts.
Measure the length of the front legs and side panels. You can cut these pieces using a table or circular saw. Drill holes in the side panels and add pocket holes if you need to. Mark the top edges of the front panels with horizontal lines to determine the height of the drawer slides. Mark three 3/8" from each top edge. Mark the front panel with the same measurements, but double the length.
