I picked up this pair of fully solid wood dressers from an auction for just $1 each (there were no other bidders, meaning I got to take them home at the starting price). When I brought them home, I noticed that one of them must have originally been a cabinet with 2 doors, not a dresser. This was clear because doors were obviously cut into 4 sections and made into drawers; even the rail construction was different from the other dresser. A previous owner must have DIY'd it. As much as I appreciated the creativity, it wasn't something I could leave as-is, and rather than undoing the work, I had the idea of just salvaging the solid wood from the whole piece and using parts of it to add onto the other piece in the form of drop-leaves.
