    Upon unboxing, I was immediately upset at how the rails were very noticeably bent. But I kept going, all tools needed to assemble were included th-cam.com/users/postUgkxqtX4Dxs6aecAZEuz6GY5-d81YecKCshn and I had it set up in about 30 minutes. Honestly I love this thing, make sure to read the measurements and measure your space so you know if it'll work for you. I bought this to put inside my closet, underneath where I hang my clothes and it is absolutely perfect! It is VERY sturdy and all drawers glide easily and mine are stuffed, and they are still flush when closed.

    Just watched this for the 2nd time. My inspiration for renovating a 100 yr old dresser. And I'm doing this at the tender age of 70 yrs old (not a typo). I even made a beeswax polish that has a rose scent that reminds me of my mother. I'm using it inside the drawers so that I can be reminded of her when I open a drawer. Thanks so much, Andy, for making me get up & do something!

      Oh wow Charlotte, thank you very much for sharing this! I'm so touched to hear I helped in some way with your inspiration - and what an incredibly lovely idea to make your own wax polish with a rose scent - I'm blown away! Best of luck with your wonderful and very special project! 🌹

      Hello Charlotte, I REALLY admire you, how wonderful that at seventy years young you decided to take the plunge and renovate an antique piece. I would love to know how you make the rose scent beeswax that reminds you of your mother. I am growing roses that remind me of my Nanna. You could even get your family to help you make a youtube video on it. God bless, Wendy

      I too have some repair work to do, on my second project. Andy has given me more confidence to get going. I’m going to use Bondo instead of the 2 part putty that I have. I’ve used it for a couple of repairs and it’s not as pliable as I’d like to have it. Working in small batches will be key, for me. I’m excited for your daughter, Sydney, to be learning and honing her craft. Watching these Fables makes this even more fun than it already was, for me. 💕

You and whoever is doing your editing could take this videoing thing to the next level....whatever that is...film making?

    The narration you provide is as relaxing as watching you paint. Love the before and after at the end.

    I’m just starting out on restoring old wood furniture. As a single father with not much extra time I try to find ways to cut corners but I learned not with this. Watching you has giving me many ideas for some of my pieces iv done. You have turned me on to chalk paint. and I’m now using spray can chalk because I can’t afford any of the good stuff let alone one of the brushes. Any ideas. Love your channel and love the fables idea I’m a big reader and like how u fused books and wood. Thanks for all the good content. Me and my son love watching your transformations and love that u show us the numbers as well.

      Thanks so much Jacob!! It's true one of the most challenging parts of this craft is balancing between quality work (which usually means lots of steps and a little more expensive products) and your time! Finding that balance and what worked best for me definitely took me a little while. 😊 As far as cost - there are a lot of less expensive paints out there that many furniture artists absolutely love! I've actually never used spray chalk paint, but I hear it can be great. Another line to consider trying is Chalked by Rust-Oleum. Best of luck, and thanks so much for watching!

    I absolutely love your videos! The MOLD idea is fantastic! I just bought a night stand that is solid wood, great bones and to anyone else they would think the piece was a nightmare! What I saw....is the potential of the piece. I liked, Subscribed and will be watching MORE of your videos! We are on East Coast.

    Truly inspirational! Brava! I love the way you want to focus more on the creative side of the furniture restyling and less on the money and gain business side of things that is predominant. That was how I wanted to frame my works on my little channel but without much recognition so far. I'm following you my captain! Kisses from Italy!

    You started with a pathetic sorry looking piece with plenty of potential and your patience and vision gave it a wonderful second chance. It is heartwarming to see pieces of bygone days be given some TLC and a refreshing look. I was glad to see the repair part of this video so now I have a better understanding of how things are done for the nitty gritty part. With a stash of furniture I have collected, I am getting more motivated in trying to do something with it to restore its use and enjoyment in a new home. Yes, I love the color you chose and using the wash technique for the bottom which gives it more character and style. The white wax gives a lovely soft romantic feel. This dresser deserved your love, patience and vision, and it is now a lovely piece to be enjoyed by someone who will appreciate and enjoy it. I love your channel and the inspiration you give me.

    Absolutely gorgeous!!! It really does have a "dreamy" look. I love that you restored it to its original self and used the original hardware, rather than turning it into a different piece of furniture. I love to see furniture flipped into another piece, but this piece deserved to be restored to its origin. Beautiful work!
