DIY chest of drawers made from wooden crates

Need more storage space? Then grab a cordless screwdriver and paint and build your own chest of drawers. All you need are two wooden boxes as a base.
Bills fly around, plants don't have a nice place, bits and bobs are scattered around: I have potential to optimise my storage space. I need a small chest of drawers. But instead of buying one, I prefer to make one myself according to my own ideas. For this I need:
A new coat of paint
The box is ready
Then it's down to the feet. I had to get some ultra-short screws (10 millimetres) for this, because the slats of the boxes hardly feel thicker than a sheet of paper. What's more, my chest of drawers only stands on three legs, so the 20 centimetres in depth were unfortunately not enough for four.
My life in a nutshell? On a quest to broaden my horizon. I love discovering and learning new skills and I see a chance to experience something new in everything – be it travelling, reading, cooking, movies or DIY.
