Superior craftsmanship brings Durham Furniture's antique collections to life.
Corner Blocked For Strength - All corners of every case are reinforced by a wooden brace that is screwed and glued in place to add strength and rigidity and to prevent racking when the item is moved from room to room or home to home.
Mortised Joints - The inner construction of each case incorporates mortise and tenon construction, a system of joinery preferred for centuries by master craftsmen to insure the structural stability for the life of the piece.
Dovetail Drawer Construction - English dovetails connect all drawer fronts and backs to the sides, framing the bottom insuring a tight and firm drawer after thousands of openings.
Fully Dust Proofed - Wooden dust panels are framed between each drawer to prevent dust from falling between drawers onto clean garments.
Smooth Drawer Interiors - Each drawer features 7/16" solid ash sides and back with a 3-ply oak plywood bottom which is sanded smooth and sealed with several coats of clear lacquer to protect delicate clothing for years to come.
Wood Drawer Guides - Chosen for years of quiet, smooth service, a wood-on-wood treated center drawer guide system is used on each drawer.
Fitted Backs - A flush, wooden back panel is framed by the top, sides, and bottom to provide an added structural strength to eliminate rocking.
