These are two tables I built for my son. They are cherry finished with satin Waterlox. The domino
Was used to hold the mitered corners for gluing. It was amazing how it lined up the miters so perfectly. Festool Rotex and half sheet sander was used to sand for the finish.

Nice work!  Yes, the Domino makes mitres so easy I can't imagine not having them at my disposal.
 
Nice project. Is the frame around the drawers beveled so that the drawer fronts are inset? Hard to tell from the photos, but it looks like it is.

Yes, I used 30 degree chamfer
 
Those look great. Love the tapered legs. Looks very elegant. And a wonderful finish on it as well
 
Looks great!  How do you pull the miters together with dominoes inserted?  I always have trouble getting then to close tightly.

Fortunately, when I cut the meters, they matched up perfectly.  I used the domino at the 45 degree setting.  Once the dominoes were in place. The mitered edges came right together. The fine adjustment was by slowly clamping top to bottom and side to side until the edges matched up. The miters were cut with my sliding table saw
