Materials List
- 3 sets of plastic drawers

- a half sheet of 3/4" plywood
- a couple of select pine 1" x 2"s
- Nails
- Saw
- Sandpaper
- White spray paint
Instructions:
-
Simply remove the plastic drawers (I used three sets) and spray one coat of primer. Let dry - Don did these outside on a sunny day and gave it about 30 minutes.
-
Spray your paint color of choice. We used Rust-Oleum 2x Ultra Cover Gloss in Seaside and did two coats - letting dry about 30 minutes between coats.

To construct the top Don used a half sheet of 3/4" plywood and a couple of select pine 1" x 2"s. He measured the length and and width of the three sets of drawers side by side. He then cut the plywood to those dimensions plus 1/2". He cut and finish nailed the 1" x 2" around the edges of the plywood for a more finished look, then filled all the nail holes. He sanded it then did three coats of white spray paint.
And voila!
