A client in Dayton said my drawer boxes felt cheap, and it stung but he was right.
He pointed out how my 1/2 inch Baltic birch sides felt thin and hollow compared to the 3/4 inch maple fronts. I switched to using 5/8 inch pre-finished maple for all my drawer boxes now, and the solid feel is a huge upgrade. Anyone else get a piece of tough feedback that actually improved your work?

Ever have that moment where a complaint just clicks? I got told my joinery looked rushed once, and man, seeing it through their eyes changed everything. Started taking an extra minute to check each seam before calling it done. That kind of feedback is rough but it's the only way you really get better, right?
