These beautiful chests of drawers, in a wide range of styles, have been designed by some of America's best cabinetmakers. Chests of drawers are one of the most popular woodworking projects.

The book includes step-by-step photos, clear building instructions, cut lists, and measured drawings for each project. There is also a bonus chapter on how to solve the challenges in building large case pieces, as well as advice on creating original designs or adapting the designs in this book.
