In an effort to stop the Ace's clothing from vomiting out of the armoire in his bedroom, we recently purchased a couple of dressers from Ikea. The Ace is not aesthetically set up to appreciate the function of an armoire and tosses his clothes in with little regard for how they were folded or arranged to fit neatly inside. Whenever he opens the doors, out fell most of the stuff he had shoved into the open spaces. And being a 12 year old, they stayed on the floor until he is forced to put them away. Which he does, by tossing piles of crumpled items back on the shelves together in heaps. Why I even bother to fold his clothes is a constant dilemma. Now I can close the drawers and not see the mess on the floor. Pick your battles, I say.
So online investigating we went and settled on Ikea's Malm line of dressers. Streamlined, six drawers and acceptably priced. Acceptably priced was critical as our kids like to cover furniture with stickers. This activity can occur ONLY in their rooms. We'll accept the washing machine decorations as an exception.
The best part? The assembly instructions. Completely wordless diagrams so easy to follow, Ace was able to put one together with very little help. That's kid friendly!
