Dovetail Drawers for Vanities

We make dovetail drawers for bathroom vanities with a pipe cutout. The cutout is sometimes called a pipe chase. This solves clearance problems around plumbing and drains. It provides maximum storage. Our pipe cutouts are typically 6" x 6" unless otherwise requested. If you are ordering a drawer with a cutout you will need to provide a drawing showing the position of the cut out.

Slide Mounting Options

The majority of our customers are using Blum undermount slides.

We recommend Blum's 560H Series Undermount Slides with Blumotion Concealed Full-Extension. These are self close and soft close. The forward and rear mounting points have adjustment to make installation alignment much easier. We have a functional display in our showroom. We can show you how to install, adjust and remove our dovetail drawers mounted with this slide system.

The 560H slides come in the following depths:

270mm (10-5/8") - commonly called 11" slides
300mm (11-3/4") - commonly called 12" slides
350mm (13-3/4") - commonly called 14" slides
400mm (15-3/4") - commonly called 16" slides
450mm (17-3/4") - commonly called 18" slides
500mm (19-3/4") - commonly called 20" slides
550mm (21-5/8") - commonly called 22" slides

We retail these slides. Each pair of slides requires a pair of attachment clips.

Grooving a Dovetail Drawer Side For a Bottom

Machining the groove into a solid maple dovetail drawer side to accept the drawer bottom. The caliper is used to double check the distance of the bottom of the drawer groove to the drawer bottom to ensure there is room for the under-mount drawer slide hardware. Each of the four drawer sides is grooved.

Notch and Drilling of Dovetail Drawers

Notching and drilling the back of a Eucalyptus dovetail drawer to accept Blum under mount slide hardware. Our notch and drill machine ensures a level slot and an exact hole position so the slide pin fits in perfectly every time.

How are Allstyle's Dovetail Drawers Finished?

 

Compare Quality - Not All Dovetail Drawers are Made the Same

Ask if the material is Hard Maple, Soft Maple or Birch. Hard Maple is more dense and strong.

Ask if the bottom is 1/4", 3/8" or 1/2" thick. The 1/2" bottom gives substantially more strength which is critical in larger drawers.

Ask if the finish is one or two coats and if the lacquer is pre-catalyzed or post-catalyzed. Allstyle uses two coats of professional grade post-catalyzed lacquer for the toughest finish available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I will be using the Blumotion Tandem series undermount slide. How do I calculate what width of drawer to order?

A: For drawers with 5/8" sides the Blum Tandem series undermount slide needs 3/16" (5mm) clearance between the outside of the drawer and the inside of the cabinet wall on each side. Measure the inside opening of the cabinet and subtract 3/8" (10mm) to determine the correct drawer width.
For birch multiply drawers with 1/2" sides the Blum Tandem series undermount slide needs 5/16" clearance on each side. Measure the inside opening of the cabinet and subtract 5/8" (16mm) to determine the correct drawer width. The 1/2" sides also require a 1/8" reduction in depth vs. a drawer made with 5/8" sides if the drawer is notched in the back and not notched in the front.

Q: Are the drawer bottoms glued in place?

A: Yes, the drawer bottoms are inset into a groove. The bottom is secured with both staples and glue. The bottom will not slip and is very sturdy. Because we use a 1/2" bottom it will not belly or bow and does not require any further reinforcement.

Q: Can you put our logo on our drawer order?

A: Yes we can! In order for us to burn your logo we need the artwork of your company logo, ideally in the form of a vector file such as *.ai or *svg. We can use a *.PDF or *.jpg file but there is extra work (extra charge) to convert it. It takes about two weeks to transfer your logo onto a solid brass head that we can use in our branding iron. There is a one time charge for the branding head. We will logo your drawers at no additional charge there after.
