Now I just have to fix it up a little. Still, it's better than having to assemble the Ikea one, and this one is solid. I think it landed in my path for a reason.I was talking to Erik's mom (hi there!) on the phone the other day and she said it reminded her of the one Erik had growing up, which now resides in Sage's room:
They bought it used nearly 40 years ago. With a little TLC every decade or so, wardrobes like these hold up quite nicely. Ikea stuff? Not so much.
