Because that is the way furnishings use to be made, I have a old school real wood dresser that is strong. Has a big mirror that screws into the back of the dresser. There are some dings and scratches but nothing that cannot be rubbed out. The drawers are tough and strong, will not fall or buckle with but the tracks do need a litte TLC. Wish to get it out of my storage area, just asking 40 dollars. Text, e-mail or call. Thanks for looking !!
