Apply wood glue to the butt joints where the front and back panels meet the side panels. Align the edges, drill pilot holes, and secure with screws to form the basic box structure. This creates strong corners for the drawer box. Once the initial box is assembled, carefully slide the drawer bottom panel into the pre-cut dado grooves on all four sides. The dados ensure the bottom is fully supported and adds significant rigidity to the entire drawer box, preventing racking and ensuring squareness.
