Hello Joanna, could you tell me how bad and where they are broken or add a picture showing the broken drawers?
Yes a picture or two could help..........Or at least a fuller description of the problem - is it the base came away or the runners have broken and the drawers have dropped or are the drawers really falling apart at the seams?
Hi. If the drawer box is broken, you can build a new box and attach the front to the new box. If the runners are broken, you can repair where the runner has pulled out of the sides with Bondo (which is typically used for cars but sold at big box stores), then install new runners. If the dresser itself is broken, you can glue and screw it back together, use Bondo to hide the break, sand and paint. Happy DIY'ing!
Sorry, I hit enter before I wanted to. The cabinet is intact, one drawer is intact the other three were tossed out. They were all broken. I had called a furniture repair place and they wanted a king's ransom to six them. Before I found your site. It is made of real wood not the modern material, very heavy. Dark cherry in color. I have the rest of the set. Thanks for any help.
