Hi folks. I've had quite a few requests to purchase the wood tag and if I can locate the file with the old labels, I may have Mark cut more.
I was watching a virtual sale from a shop in Ohio that allows you to purchase items during their live broadcast. Being a sucker for drawers, I emailed that night (since I watched the taped version) and went in to pick up the item next day. It was a mess. Made of thin plywood with a few areas missing wood and very poorly made. It sure didn't look that bad when she was holding it in the video, but I said I would purchase so I did.
Here's the before....
And here's the after....
Aligned the drawers, filled and caulked, sanded, primed, painted, and added a top and bottom board.
Ain't it sweet???
Now it's worth what I paid for it!!
If you ever need really small wood knobs, check the section of bagged wood smalls/accessories in craft stores. They have tiny spindles, stars, balls and such, plus these darling little knobs. They're not knobs, can't remember what they are called, but perfect for small projects.

Nice job Marly!!!
Awww...very sweet! Such patience...had it been me (and trust me, I have similar "regretful" purchases), it would have landed in the basement along with bunches of other undesirable mistakes in judgment. ~Robin~
I love the way you made it look older! Great job!
Perfect as a floss cabinet or cat napper (If it fits I sits). Looks totally awesome!
Wow! Hard to believe this is the same unit. great job- very impressive!
You did a great job on these drawers!!!
Curious where you are going to use for.
Stay save!

Love what you did to the small "chest of drawers".
Very nice.
I like to check out the small wooden pieces in the craft stores.

So amazing - Love the change and the finish. You did such a nice job
It’s really pretty now that you worked your magic! I’ve done a similar purchase before. Photos can be so deceiving.
