Custom cabinet construction uses 3/4-inch plywood boxes with solid hardwood face frames. Dovetail drawer joinery creates interlocking joints stronger than surrounding wood. Full-extension ball-bearing slides rated for 100-pound loads ensure smooth operation when fully loaded. European hinges with integrated soft-close dampers prevent door slamming.
