Hi all,
I'm building a couple of bathroom vanities and learning some new skills while doing so.
I designed the drawers in the vanities as normal (I think), with with height of the drawers decreasing from bottom to top. As my first photo shows, the top drawer is just a bit smaller than the drawer below it, and so on.
However, my amateur status revealed itself when it came time to attach the drawer fronts: I did not account for the extra drawer front height needed to cover the frameless cabinet carcass (0.75"). Additionally, I left a bit too much clearance above the top drawer box.
The result is that my top drawer box, which is just over 1/2" shorter than the one below it, has a drawer face that is 1/2" larger than the drawer below it. You can see this in my second photo (the drawer faces are just stacked - not yet attached).
Any suggestions on how to proceed? Although I doubt my wife would notice or mind, I don't want my work to scream, "amateur!"
On solution that I thought of: I could adjust the heights of the top two drawer slides and then swap the drawer fronts, but then the wood grain will no longer match (although the wood grain is obscured somewhat by the white stain).
