I need to build 2 of these: http://www.potterybarn.com/products/p6401/index.cfm?pkey=cfurbedtbl
And I have made a Sketchup mockup of it with some design changes (mortise and tenon construction) and am now going back into the model and completing the joinery and drawer parts.
My problem is, this is my first drawer and case project and I am looking for help on 2 items. First and foremost, do I use drawer glides like the original (2 pieces of maple that the drawer rests on mounted between the front and rear legs), or is there a better way?
Second, the shelf....I looked at the item, but it was hard to tell how it was captured between the legs. Notches cut in the legs? Could it be that simple?
Any design suggestions or recommendations would be helpful....
Thanks for looking!
