My teen dd's dresser is totally broken. She's living with her clothes in bins all of the floor in her room. I can't afford to buy her a new good quality dresser. Any ideas or links to maybe plastic drawers I could buy her? Maybe along the lines of Target? Thanx.

Plastic drawers are very annoying. Do you have a local craigslist or freecycle? Dressers shouldn't be too hard to find there.

Ikea is decent. I had one last for years. Just make sure you bolt it to the wall or it can tip.

We have ikea dressers (malm) that have lasted us ten years, and two moves (one across state lines). In addition to Craigslist check resale shops. Plastic drawers are awful, we have Simeon closets for extra storage and they are a pain

I got from Walmart.com Better Homes and Garden cubes a few weeks ago. So far they look sturdy and beautiful. Hope they don't turn out bad cuz I got for more than one room.

My teens prefer them to dressers. I got the coordinating boxes that fit to go into to some of the cubes.

the dresser is located in Flatbush Brooklyn. The delivery will be pricey so I don't think it's worth it.

I'd rather get something from Ikea or Walmart than have plastic. It's still not that cheap and will soon be garbage.

The Malm dressers are great and quite inexpensive. They even come in gray. Fairly easy to put together.
One tip - use wood glue when putting them together. Makes it more sturdy. And yes best to attach it to the wall (it comes with the pieces) or at least dont open more than 1 drawer at a time, they can tip easily.

My teen daughter uses this (in gray). Many things get hung up at her age, so it's undergarments, pajamas, bathing suit, tights, socks, shells etc in this and it works well for those needs.
