Um, don't tempt me. I'm also assembling furniture for Cat.

How big is it? How heavy? Old real wood?

I've started collecting ancient dressers, because the new ones, even
several price brackets above mine, are  not real wood.  And fall apart.
I've already got one example of what happens when  an  IKEA quality dresser
is kept for 20 years. My 40 year old wood one, while nothing special to
look at, at least doesn't have drawers that fall out.

Actually, you can have the old particle board one, if you think  it would burn.

My plan is to haul them all outside this summer, and sand and paint and
strip them to match each other.

Elizabeth. Would be home improvement person.
