I have used 52 dowels so far and they are pretty consistent. 5/16 is slightly small for 8 mm holes so they are not all tight fits. But with glue, it’s fine. It’s great that they come in cardboard boxes. Review: The fit and quality are perfect. - We bought a cat house but it was missing the dowel pins. These were the exact size! Fit perfect. Went together with no issues. They're good quality too. ## Features - HIGH QUALITY MATERIAL: Wooden dowels are cut from hardwood high density.
