Use as a rolling storage container
Dresser drawers are perfect for sliding under the bed to create extra storage space. Simply attach some rolling wheels to the underside of the drawer to make it easier to slide in and out from under the bed. Place clothing or other items inside the drawer and simply slide under the bed to store. When you need to retrieve a sweater or a pair of jeans, just simply slide the drawer out from under the bed, easy and quick.
Use as a pet bed
Use a dresser to create a comfy bed for your pet. Simply place a comfortable blanket or sheet inside and it makes a great getaway space for your pet to sleep and rest. Place the drawer in a quiet room or wherever your family pet feels most comfortable. There is no need to go out and purchase an expensive pet bed from a pet store, just create one out of an old dresser drawer and your pet will never know the difference.
