Take two old drawers and four table legs and build a chest of drawers. As? We will show you step by step!

What you need for the dresser:

  • two drawers (flea market)
  • Wooden board suitable as a base for the drawers (hardware store)
  • Acrylic paint in white (hardware store)
  • Table legs (eg from Ikea "Lalle" height 70 cm price 16 €)
  • Drawer handles (eg from Tiger price 3 €)
  • pencil
  • ruler
  • jigsaw
  • Cordless Screwdriver
  • screw
  • brush

And that's how easy it is:

1. Use the jigsaw to saw off the overhanging ends of the drawer, which will later be joined together.

2. Saw the wooden board suitable for the two drawers so that you can place the drawers on the plate and screw them together.

3. Screw the drawers to the plate.

4. Paint the built construction with the acrylic paint white and let it dry well. If necessary, repaint a second time.

5. Fix the table legs in all four corners.

6. Finally, fasten the knobs.
