I know you will find some ideas you love; I know I did ;) Have a creative summer and thanks for asking Hometalk for suggestions.

Stick caster wheels on them for under bed storage.
oh so many things! Planter boxes, shadow boxes , put a lid on them and make a jewelry box w/a bedpost or chair leg and make it a standing jewelry box, add a mirror to the front, put little hooks inside to separate chains add a small basket for rings.
Turn it flat as a drawer and put legs on it and use as planter or put a lid and use as a child’s desk.
Or craft storage.
( again w/ legs ) add tin cans and use when you paint.
Here’s a few more ideas
Have fun and Good Luck ☘️!

You can make them into shadow boxes, storage shelves, put wheels on the bottoms for underbed storage, if you have cats you can make a tiered cat stand/bed, you can make them into a single bookshelf or individual shelves on a wall to hold books/magazines or papers etc. If they are smaller drawers you could add handles and make a breakfast tray, you could also make a floating shelf if it's small enough.
Or if you are looking for outdoor ideas you could make a layered garden, put them around the base of a tree as planters just in ur yard or porch :)
I love old drawers! You can paint them. The inside one color and the outside another, with a pretty drawer knob on it. Either out a bracket on them for hanging on wall or sit on counter, dresser, table. If you hang them, you can place something pretty in them.
