My next project is going to be a sideboard for storing dishes etc. Currently they are using one of those Sauder particle board dressers. 
I guess I'm lucky they weren't really interested in a full blown china cabinet, hehe. Currently I am in the thinking about it/ planning phase.
The drawers will probably be at least 3 feet wide and will definitely need to hold alot of weight. I cant say exactly how much but whatever a stack of china plates would weigh and then some. And others will be holding pans and silverware etc.
Should I use undermount glides or side ones. I'll def go overkill and get the ones rated for 100lbs as they are not that much more expensive. When does one use an undermount as opposed to a side one.
Should I go full or 3/4 extension. Not sure if thing would tip over if a heaver drawer near the top was opened all the way.
For the drawers I was considering plywood box with a hardwood face, for my shop stuff, my drawer bottoms have been 1/4 inch ply. Should I beef it up and use 1/2 or 3/4? Is there a need to reinforce the middle somehow to help fight sag?
Thnx
