Maple Finish Dresser With 5 Drawers, Excellent Condition

Maple Finish Dresser with 5 drawers, excellent condition. What happened with this dresser was, I went to move it, and the back of it is just cardboard, and because of that the (weak) cardboard broke, rendering this dresser into almost junk. SO, being the dad fix-it kinda guy that I am, I saddled up and rode off to Home Depot, and purchased a sheet of 1/4" plywood cut to exactly fit the back of the dresser. I then attached it with MANY staples using my battery-powered stapler. I hammered them all in, too, just to be sure none of them ended up sticking out.

The net result is a dresser that is probably 10x as strong as it was before I broke it and then repaired it. Other than my repair, excellent condition. I think this is hardwood, the drawers certainly look it on the inside, but I cannot be sure. Anyway. Measurements are: 48" tall, 31" wide, and 17.25" deep (that extra 1/4" being the thickness of the plywood backing I put onto the dresser). I did not do a perfect job putting the new back on the dresser--you can feel the edge of the piece of plywood if you run your hand along the rear left vertical edge of the dresser, near the top. Sorry about that. Evidently, my woodworking chops aren't quite up to snuff.

Notes: I replaced the factory stock cardboard back (when it broke) with 1/4" plywood. As a result the unit is much stronger than it was.
