I'm a bit frustrated trying to find a right kind of dresser. I've had no problem getting bookcases or table as the requisites are relatively simple: They have to be able to stand and hold up some weights.
But with dressers, it's much more complicated, and my search tend to be fruitless. Few problems I have with dressers:
1) The bottom part of drawers are usually razor thin and not very firmly attached; has a tendency to bottom out.
2) I have no idea what sliding mechanism works best and longer; it tends to fall apart no matter what it may be.
3) It can never quite fit. I have long pants and extra-tall shirts which can't lie flat in the drawer because it's not long enough and thus result in clothing crunch which leads to its own set of problems.
4) I am struck with indecisiveness regarding the depth- if it's too narrow, I would be lucky to fit in one pair of cargo pant and I have several pairs, OTOH, a deep drawer means it may be never found ever again!
5) The act of removing a clothing from dresser, especially if it's compounded with clothing crunch and other problems instantly guarantees that whenever I put my dresser in order, it only takes one removal to destroy the order.
I've wondered about alternatives; I already hang a majority of my shirts, but for some clothing it's much easier if I could just fold it up and put it away tidily and have it easy to get out. But gawd, I have been looking for months and can't find what strikes me as right.
So, does anyone have a brilliant insight they would like to endow upon this poor little soul?
Danke!
