The general method of constructing the wash stand is similar to that of the dresser. The two sides are first to be made ready in the manner previously described, after which the bottom board and top are to be trimmed up true and square. Assemble these four pieces, and then nail two temporary, diagonal strips across the back to stiffen the structure as the work proceeds.

The piece upon which the top drawer rests is now to be fitted and secured in place, after which put in the vertical division. Shape up and attach the curved strip below the bottom board. The curved back strip, the two uprights, and the towel-rack should all be fitted together before placing on the top, to which they are attached by nailing from below.

After closing in the back, it only remains to fit on the door and to make the three drawers. If desired, the two smaller drawers may be omitted and a door substituted, thus simplifying the construction somewhat.
