The ideal solution is to edit the CAD data in CAD software. If you don't have access to this and have STL files, like table.stl and drawer.stl, you could try scaling drawer.stl down 1 or 2%. This can be done in Cura. You can then slice and create a new gcode from that.
If you have a single STL file for everything, you could use something like Meshmixer to split up the parts into an assembly, and then scale down the parts that don't fit.
It's unclear what machine you're printing on from your original post, so also note that your machine needs to be properly calibrated to guarantee dimensional accuracy - this can have an influence on parts not fitting too.
Hope this helps
Thank you
