The Kroehler dresser was in the thrift store for over 7 months. If you check out my 2nd thrift store video you will see this piece in that video. They were about to get rid of the piece from the thrift store, so I ended up purchasing it when it was half off. There were a lot of 'future-proofing' decisions made with this piece. It lasted for over 50 years, and I would like to see it last for another 50.
The drawers were reveneered to add some interest, which also allowed me to add more consistent and easy-to-update hardware. Legs were added since furniture bases aren't very popular and are often damaged from moisture over time. Hope you enjoy this furniture makeover!
