Quality dovetail drawer specialists
Built to your sizes, not a catalog.
California Drawers manufactures high quality custom drawer boxes for cabinet manufacturers and shops. Our fully computerized (CNC) dovetailer cuts equal-spaced dovetails on virtually any size of drawer. That means no height restrictions, and we can match existing dovetails on remodel work.
Every box is made to your specifications, and every box is guaranteed 100%. Each drawer gets hand attention after every stage of manufacturing, so the box you open is the box you ordered.

Why outsource
Lower overhead. More profit.
Our ability to produce high quality drawers lets cabinet manufacturers add more value to their products. Outsourcing your drawer boxes means lower overhead and more profit to you.
We are confident that just showing our drawers to your customers proves our craftsmanship. Dovetail construction is also a visible quality difference when a client opens the drawer.
Need the cabinets themselves cleared? We have a large spray booth and offer cabinet clearing at a competitive rate. Call for a quote.
