Good drawers should not only resist the weather, but also to wear. Drawers open and close several times before purchasing. You should not feel any crunch. Check the drawers slide easily and the wood has a good consistency.

All drawers should have quality joints in wood, such as glue or dowels. If the drawer has welded joints or hooks, you’re sure not worth it to bring it home, it will not last long. Check the good quality of assembly of the drawer and make sure all joints are properly positioned.
A style that matches your home
A key factor for the purchase will of course be that the drawer matches your home furnishings. A wood stain which conflicts with other furniture in your house is a good selection of style. Anyway the important thing is the quality: colors, paints and structure can always be adapted.
Make sure the finish resists scratches
Finishing the surface of the drawer has a key role, certainly is not just to improve its appearance. It offers increased durability and protects the wood, allowing your chest to last long. Check the quality of finish and make sure they are smooth to the touch. Finishing rough or broken are often indicators of poor quality.
The edges of the drawers and the interior should be smooth as other surfaces. A drawer quality is an investment that lasts a long time, requires little care and adds much charm to the environment in which it resides. So the next time you go to buy a chest of drawers, remember that you must consider much more than her looks!
