    You could cut them in half (the depth) and paint to use for flower boxes.

    Under bed storage, shelving, wall cubbies.

    Sue, if you have several and want to sell them, I have some ideas. Sand and stain or paint all of the outsides of the drawers. Seal with polyurethane. On the insides, paint or stain some, and cover the insides of others with fabric or wrapping paper, glued in with Elmer’s or fabrics glue. In the wood inside drawers, place 2-3 Command hangers staggered from top to center bottom. Choose dollar store items or things you already have and display in these Darling Display Drawers. In the fabric drawers, build display shelves. Get a board as wide as the drawer is deep. (If the drawer is too deep, cut the drawer to the depth you want, and replace the back of the drawer. Caulk around the outside and inside edges with clear caulking or clear glue. I’ll stop with Darling Shelved Drawers. But I hope you go far with this idea or another. Best wishes ☺️

    Wall units. Turn them up against a wall for storage. I did this with sturdy drawers under the wire shelving in the laundry area. Worked out very well.

    Have you seen them repurposed into planters?

    Make a dog bed out of it or put legs on it for a planter or end table or smaller legs then add a pillow to it for a foot stool

    I used dresser drawers as under bed storage. I add castors to the bottom, paint the drawer or just add some kind of decoration like this license plate and they slide right out providing great storage. You can read more about it here --->> http://bit.ly/2PVlaNY
