It's not as bad as it looks.


The real killer with drawer boxes is when they're in wind, in other words if you lay it on a flat surface two corners are high and it rocks on the other two corners. There's really nothing you can do about that except start again.


Your drawer is no where near as problematic. I'd start with option 2. Because of the (sensible) construction method that you've followed you already know that you'll have to plane down the drawer sides, that in itself will go a long way to fixing the problem by planing the front half of the left hand drawer sides and barely touching the back half.


Sure, the drawer might be a touch rattly when fully extended, but in truth the fit of a drawer tends to be judged more when it's closed or nearly closed.


So, I'd plane first and there's every chance you'll get away with it.


Good luck!
