Abstract
A knock-down drawer assembly is provided with a front panel, a pair of side panels, a rear panel, and a bottom panel. The front, rear, and side panels are provided with channels for receiving the bottom panel. The front panel defines two generally vertical and parallel dovetail mortises on the inner face of the front panel. The opposing sides of each mortise taper inwardly at a constant angle along the vertical length of the mortise. Each of the side panels has a dovetail tenon on one end of the panel. The sides of each tenon taper inwardly along the vertical length of the tenon and each tenon is adapted to be received in a mortise of the front panel. A shoulder is provided on the rear end of each side panel for locating the rear panel along the length of the side panel relative to the front panel. Fastening means are provided for securing the side panels to the rear panel. The inner faces of the front, rear, and side panels are provided with inwardly projecting and concavely curved lips extending over the margins of the bottom panel. The interior vertical corners of the drawer assembly are constructed so that the interior angles at the corners are greater than 90.degree..
