Oh how fun!! Use it as you would an apothecary table, I love how this Hometalker painted each drawer a different color: http://www.hometalk.com/diy/paint/furniture/updating-an-outdated-apothecary-cd-storage-cabinet-15485116

send them to me.
I made a tool box out of an old file drawer. It is wonderful for laying out tools and lable the drawers as filled. I have had mine for many years. still love it!
make flower pots. Paint them with chalk board paint and have a ball.
Turn them on their side, connect them (glue, screws, etc), and use as a set of display/storage shelves. I did something similar with sewing machine drawers to make a spice cabinet. Or if you have someone handy about, have a wooden frame made for them.
