290, posts are used instead of stiles, and rails are mortised or doweled into them and the panels set into grooves in both posts and rails.

In this case the bottom is raised from the floor, and may be dadoed into the bottom rails, or dowelled into them or even supported by strips attached along their lower inside edges.

The chest really is a union of both paneled and framed structures.
[Illustration: Fig.290.Chest Construction.] (4) FRAMED STRUCTURES The principle of the framed structure is similar to that of the panel construction in that the object is to allow for shrinkage without harm to construction and also to economize materials.

Common examples are tables, chairs, work-benches, and frame houses.
_The Making of a Table._ The standard height of a table is 30".

There should be 25" clearance under the rails.
