A New-Fangled Desk...From A Dresser

Step 4The Completed Desk

The Completed Desk
And this is the finished project. Perfect height, ample storage room, and a stylish, classic look, all for zero dollars.

As you can see, I replaced the original knobs for the top drawer with a couple I had leftover from a previous project. Unfortunately I still don't have anything to exchange the other handles for, so here they sit; perhaps I'll paint them someday or, god willing, replace them with something better.

As always, comments welcome....

 Thank you, ty, ty, for this instructable!  I've had a large dresser that I have been wanting to get rid of for years and begged to have it hauled off and never had a chance and had no sturdy desk... but now I have a huge beautiful desk and drawers for my papers and what-nots.  And used the extra drawers I had left over for under our bed to store clothes.  It only took 15-20 mins (that's with moving it and cutting some inner parts and bottom piece off.)
