2 drawer dresser

I saw this in an alley behind an apt complex where residents park their cars. I thought it was a 3 drawer deal, but the bottom 2 were just a big drawer.

The bottom drawer was rough going in and out. Took the drawer out and the wood guide was chewed up!

I decided t  see if I could find a replacement at Lowe's, Home Depot and OSH with nothing coming close. I could however pay $6 to have a metal replacement, but decided that I am not going to go through that trouble to only sell it for $10-$15.

The top drawer was great, no issues. So I took the rail off and swapped it for the bottom, I also took the chewed up rail and reversed it. There is no issues now.

The bottom was still kinda rough, even with a better rail. I looked at the metal piece under the drawer and it was bent like crazy. I bent it back to the best I could and it was smoother going in. Tightened the knobs and cleaned it up a bit and it is pretty nice!

I could not find the actual manufacturer, but there was a half ripped sticker with Made in the USA and a dot com website.

What I liked about it, it was made out of wood as well.
