How do I turn drawer space into a shelf?
I just refurbed an old dresser & want to turn the center drawer into an electronics shelf. How do I build that out so it looks finished? I still have the drawer (it’s not missing) & was wondering if I should use it as a base for building the shelf space.

You’ll need to buy full extension drawer glides and yes, I’d use the old drawer to mount the glides.
These glides can be bottom or side mount, based on where you want to lose the space.
You can tack small wood trim on the exposed edges and finish to match.
Thank you soooo much!!!
I removed the drawer front and hinged it back on at bottom so I could close it up when not in use.
I also have taken off the drawer front and used a hinge to make the drawer front open and close. I left the rest of the drawer in place so it could still function.
Such a great idea!!
