Drawers, along with the dresser top, will take the most abuse over the life of the piece.

The most common issue that I have come across is the dovetail joints becoming loose and or coming apart. In this video, I demonstrate how to effectively re-glue and repair the joint.

I have a drawer with a missing bottom panel. Do you have any tips for measuring and cutting the replacement panel? Great video, thanks!

May of my drawers are falling out....the further I pull them out, they tend to go off kilter and I hear snaps, and not so pleasant sounds that tells me that the drawer is broke. Can you do a video on how to fix the center bar...I think that is where the problem is originating. I also think that the plastic piece that is at the end of the bar is broken as the drawer can fall completely out of the dresser. Can you help me by doing a video on this problem? Thank you.

I've owned my dresser, for ten years. It doesn't have dovetail joinery, only staples. How do I fix that, please? I bought it second -hand in 2011 or 2012.

What kind of wood did you use for the bottom of your drawers?

Hi Amanda,for drawer bottoms I'll use a plywood they sell at home depot or lowes. It's called 5 mm floor underlayment. It costs about $15 for a 4 foot by 8 foot sheet. If you don't have the means of taking a large piece of plywood like that home, they can cut it down to more manageable pieces at home depot or lowes. Hope this helps, thanks for watching 😊
