<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 11686378, member: 37"]Not having the moldings is a big deal. Replicating them and getting the angles correct for attachment is not something most novices can do. Suppose removing them from the drawers could be a possibility. You would, then, have to sand and match the finish where they were attached. I suppose painting the drawers would be another option. The repair of the broken leg is also not the easiest thing. Cutting the legs down might be the quickest solution there. </p><p><br /></p><p>All in all, this is a basket case with little value as-is. When I was younger, it is the kind of project I might relish taking on for the challenge and restorative value. These days, I would probably set it curbside and hope someone takes it away.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
