My wife wants to buy this from Amazon. I can’t go for it. I’m. Sure it have vinyl edging, etc. a short lived product.

She wants drawers like the picture , but I’m thinking I could find colored totes to slide in with some depth…

I can get=by at 16” deep on the cabinet.

Your wife wants it as a gift (of her choice) for your granddaughter. I suggest that you tell her it is a good choice and say no more. Undoubtedly it is made of particle board. But, your granddaughter will grow up and it doesn't need to be a family heirloom.

You know you are WRONG. The wife is alway right.
Like the comedian said.

The PB doesn’t bother me, but the vinyl coming off over time will..

If it does come off, you can offer to fix it and be a hero.

Zero to hero over night.. :unsure: :unsure:
Is you wife OK with storing your grand daughter in that? It looks like those partitions in the drawer may have to be removed. I'd buy something a bit larger so as you grand daughter grows, she will still fit.:rolleyes:😁😁

it will need to be taller with at least 6 drawers. I actually want colored container that will just slide in..

Im afraid if I use drawer hardware she will get Barbie parts behind the drawers..
I made something similar for a neighbor. She bought 3 fancy fabric totes that she liked, i sized the millwork to fit.
Where it has to go will only allow 40” in width..My wife will need to order totes first and see what we have.. It will paint , so I don’t have to use premium ply..
By the title of this thread, I thought you might be building a crib or a play pen.

I was going to suggest something like this. It's where I store my dog when he's not in use.

She is set on drawers at the bottom. Said she saw one the way she wanted it. I’m going to have to let her hunt and find the correct picture..
