Features of construction
Dresser is a piece of furniture that can be put in any housing room. The predecessor of the chest was an ordinary chest, but he possessed some inconvenience of operation. This was the cause of the transformation of the chest, the formation of some new elements in it, as a result of which such a piece of furniture appeared as a chest. It was a closet of small sizes with two doors and drawers. Over time, the design has occurred and dressers with a mirror or dressers-secreters began to appear. To date, this is a universal roomy piece of furniture used for storing a wide variety of items.

This design will ensure order wherever you do not put it.
Materials for the manufacture of drawers are diverse:
- wood;
- MDF;
- Chipboard;

Project Development and Drawing
- Designing the future interior item should be started with the definition of the place where it will be placed.
- It is necessary to measure the dimensions of the desired space, and in addition to this take into account the placement of sockets, switches, plinths. Dresser must be placed so that these items do not interfere with its functioning.
- After that, it is necessary to determine the size of the chest. Optimal design dimensions are 800 mm high and 800-1200 mm in width.
- At the design stage, choose materials. At the same time, such moments should be taken into account:
- the product made of natural wood will have a significant weight;
- when using the materials of the chipboard and MDF, the dresser will be significantly easier. In addition, the manufacture of furniture from these materials will cost much cheaper.
- The assembly of the chest will be carried out according to the drawing scheme. You can perform the drawing using a ruler and pencil, and you can do this by special programs in electronic form. These are programs like AutoCAD and 3D compass. The electronic drawing makes it possible to determine the size of each individual element. The drawing should show the front fragment, side and top of the chest.
- At the next stage of the assembly of the chest according to the instructions, you need to determine the size of the necessary parts and compile their list. At the same time, it should be considered that determining the size of the facades of the boxes, it is necessary to provide for indents gaps between them.
For example, if in accordance with the drawing, the size of the facade of the future chest is 1,100 mm x 167 mm, the gap is 3 mm in height. In addition, you need to remember that the edge will add thickness.
After drawing up the training scheme of the chest and the list of all necessary elements, in accordance with this, we carry out the preparation of parts. You can seek help in a company that specializes in the cutting chipboard and the manufacture of facades from MDF. Such services offer all enterprises that implement choppers.
In the presence of working skills with a circular saw, the details can be made independently. To do this, it will be necessary in addition to the saw also a special disk, which is necessary to cut the edge of the plates of two planes.

If you have all parts, you can start assembling them into the finished product.
To work, you need to prepare:
- screws;
- screwdriver or screwdriver;
- nails with a big hat.
The process of assembling the chest occurs in such a sequence:

- If there is no possibility to build a wall from one piece of material, a variant of using two elements connected by means of polymer docking parts is possible.
- For fastening parts, furniture screws are used. In the edge of one fragment, in the place that is equally removed from two edges, you need to drill a deaf hole having 4 mm in diameter.
- Then we take the part that we will attach and make a through hole in the size of 7 mm in diameter.
- Screws placed in the material with the front side of the design elements should be closed using plastic linings.
- Then secure the top cover with steel corners, for the joining of which the vehicle screws are used.
- On this body assembled, you need to go to the assembly of boxes.
Assembling boxes
As a rule, the installation of drawers is a more laborious process than the assembly of the body. The box make up the following elements:
- bottom;
- facade;
- side walls.
Since there are several such components in the design, before collecting the chest box, it is important not to get confused in the components of the elements and numb them. Then make such actions:
- To set the bottom you need to make rugs at the bottom of the walls, the depth of which will be 10 mm, and the width will be equal to the bottom thickness.
- For fastening the facial fragment you will need pair screws with an eccentric. As a rule, burst nuts with a slot on the side wall are included with such self-stairs.
- To connect the parts to one of them, we set the screw and perform the rotation of the nut.
- The lower screw fragment will be installed in the inside panel. And the upper part having the head is inserted into the rotated nut.
- To move the boxes to be easy, it is necessary to install roller strips from the inside of the wall walls. Finding such details will not be difficult in any trading point implementing furniture fittings.
- For mounting on the plank, you need to apply glue, after which you install them on the bottom of the boxes.
- After drying the glue boxes should be installed in the framework of the product.
- At the final stage of the assembly process, we install the handles. To do this, secure them with the help of screws from the inner sides of the drawers.
- At the end of the assembly you need to check whether the boxes are prevented by the use of each other.
- With insufficiently smooth operation, the bar must be treated with emery paper or a ruble.
