Which aspect of lipped overlay requires additional care during construction?

Fitting and aligning the doors/drawers
Ensuring the frame is made of solid wood
Selection of hardware for the installation
Choosing the right veneer type

The correct answer is: Fitting and aligning the doors/drawers

Fitting and aligning the doors and drawers in a lipped overlay is critical because this type of construction involves a lip or overhang on the front of the cabinet that prevents visibility of the cabinet's interior. Proper fitting ensures that there is an even reveal between the doors and drawers, leading to a visually appealing and functional result. Misalignment can lead to difficulty in opening or closing the drawers and doors, as well as an unprofessional appearance that can detract from the overall design integrity of the cabinetry. While ensuring a solid wood frame, selecting appropriate hardware, and choosing the right veneer type are certainly important considerations in cabinetry construction, they do not directly impact the visual and functional outcome of the lipped overlay as significantly as fitting and aligning the components. Proper alignment is essential to prevent issues that may arise from gaps or overlaps that can occur if the doors and drawers are not fitted correctly.
