How to turn 5 drawer dressers into a file cabinet?
-
Marsha Schwarz on Sep 17, 2016This may be hard to explain but here goes. Put two drawers on top of each other, take drawer bottom out of top drawer and connect the two drawers together as one. (Makes one deep drawer) Then add the metal file frame for holding files and it should be done. Of course you will have some redesigning to do to the dresser to make the drawers slide nicely but this should at least get you thinking.Helpful Reply
