My wife got a chest of drawers from her grandmother 30 years ago. I assume it is at least 60 years old, and when it was given to my wife it was referred to as "rock maple". I was recently moving the chest and examined the construction. I was surprised to see the drawer blades ( dividers ) were joined to the case with pocket screws. The chest has been moved from house to house at least 10 times, and dropped by my buddy and myself at least once. It is in good shape and good working order. Impressive. Shortly afterwards I picked up a Kreg Pocket Hole jig to work on a project with my daughter.
