A client told me my drawer boxes were 'too perfect' and it made them look cheap
They said the laser-cut dovetails looked mass-produced, so now I hand-cut the first and last joint on each box for about 5 minutes extra. Anyone else get feedback that made you add a little 'imperfection' on purpose?

My friend's cabinet shop just uses a CNC and nobody has ever complained.

That line about nobody complaining... it's like how most people don't miss a handwritten letter if they get a clear email. The tech just gets the job done right and on time. We've gotten used to that kind of reliable, perfect output in so many things now.
