OK...this is my first attempt at doing any kind of inset anything. I had to quickly build this "built-in" when building the house and am just now getting around to finishing it.
My question has to do with how to make these inset drawers turn out right. As you can see from the pictures i'm using drawer slides that mount under the drawer. I'm planning on attaching a drawer face (around 3/4" thick) to the front of the drawer so that it sits in slightly from the trim (i forget what you call this trim style).
Due to the nature of these drawer slides, the drawer can feel a little wobbly so i'm concerned that no matter what i do, eventually the drawer face is going to eventually not stay evenly offset from the sides of the faceframe.
question. I'm wondering if i need to install some small bumber material underneath the drawer box -- right on top of the faceframe opening -- so that the bottom of the drawer would actually rest on the faceframe. this would make the drawer always sit in the same position.
also do you see any issues with me glueing the drawer front to the box vs. some other approch.
Any advice? Hopefully you can tell what i'm getting at by my description.
