Installation
I&#8217;ve only had the opportunity to install this today, so I haven&#8217;t really had a chance to put it through its paces. However, so far I am impressed.

		<description><![CDATA[This entry is part 7 of 8 in the series Boy's Cherry and Walnut DresserOne of my favorite features of the top, is actually technically a defect &#8212; a quarter-sized knot hole.

		<title>Face Frame Installed</title>
