A friend gave me this tired, ugly, smelly dresser. I mostly used a hammer and got rid of the top and unscrewed some screw and got rid of the drawer leads for three of the drawers. I reinforced the sides, back, and bottom. Added some trim, paint, and a cushion. Ta Da, I now have a toddler bench! (It so wasn't that easy!)
Since I posted this blog, I have 'fixed' the cushion. That post will be on my blog later!
