The boys "love" helping put away their laundry (okay maybe we have to bribe them) but they do help, by cramming clothing into their poor dresser drawers so hard that the bottoms of the drawers break. Max still being a little short ends up opening the bottom drawer to use as a step stool to get into his top drawer. My poor $50 Ikea dresser could not stand up to the abuse, and finally gave out.
Here is the destruction.
(there are no clothes in the top drawer, it has not bottom)
So I decided maybe a dresser will not stand up to the years of abuse. I decided my favorite Ikea bookshelf with tubs for clothing rather than drawers might do the trick.
Max and I got started on the project before ollie woke up..
Such a good little builder!
Ollie woke up and got to help with the building too.
...Can you tell we love these bookcases....
The finished re-build, I didn't have time to put the bins in before running off to work, but let me tell you, this is great, no more broken drawers, and plenty of room for clothes...Perfect!

Yes... it has been working like a charm, the tubs are so easy to pull out, and put back, and their little clothes fit perfect!
