Also can use the bed of the drawer as a flower learning box kids... Line the inside with heavy painters plastic, glue a plexi glass front on where the drawer front was...drill a few small drain holes in the bottom... Fill with dirt, children will be able to see how rooting of the plant grows.
Hello. Are they small- narrow enough to use as under the bed drawers? That’s the first use I would first think of. I’m always looking for a place to store cleaning supplies towels and linens.
