Removing drawers from a bureau is often a good way to clear space in a small room. If you are installing a fixture within a drawer, this will assist in replacing the drawer face. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Pull the drawer straight out all the way. The drawer should be on a guide. If it gets stuck, stop pulling and look inside to see if it is off track or at an angle. Push the drawer slightly inward, then gently pull back out. It should come out all the way.
2. Many drawers have latches on the ends so they do not fully come out of the dresser. Push on the end of the lever to release drawer. If the level is screwed in, undo the screws, then pull out fully.
3. If you do not wish to use the drawers again, or need the space of the drawer inside the unit and want the front design, take the cover off of the drawer. Check to see if it is screwed on or if the wood is hitched.
4. If the drawer face is screwed on, undo the screws to the face is free from the rest of the drawer. If there are no screws, try pulling the face off. If this does not come off easily, saw off the face of the drawer.
5. Clean the outer surface of the unit where the drawer face will be fit. Let dry.
6. Line the back of the drawer face with super glue or wood glue.
7. Press the drawer face onto the unit in its proper position. Hold in place for 2 to 4 minutes, or as long as the instructions on the glue indicate.
