My wife bought this dresser last year for $80. It isn't a fine furniture piece but it deserved better than the repair it had been given. When we got it one back leg was broken off and In a drawer. The other was loose. Since that time it has served as our bedroom dresser with a gallon of paint (out of sight) serving as a back leg.
Here is the story of what happened to it today. It only took about five hours and it is certainly not "restoration quality" but I feel that I have given the piece a little better shake than the last repairer.
The captions tell the story.
