Looking for the cheapest way to have a dresser, im renting the place so i dont want something hard to move to a new place. I thought milk crates would be a good idea but damn these are really expensive. 12 of them is $180 on uline.
Whats the cheapest way i can do this without just putting my clothes on the ground or building/ buying anything too expensive thats hard to transport after?
garbage bags
get one extra to tie over your head you worthless piece of shit with your stupid, homosexual thread.
check the dollar store before Target / Walmart
You can get those particleboard like 3 shelf book case things for $10-$20 and then stick these baskets in them.
Or honestly go around a middle class neighborhood on trash night and garbage pick a dresser. Poor people don’t throw away anything good, rich people pay workers to haul the old stuff away, but upper middle class people (think $400k-$800k homes) toss some pretty nice stuff on the weekends.
find one on the side of that road that someone is throwing out
steal lumber from somewhere
Idk if there is a template and too lazy to Amazon but cardboard. That’s cheap. Turning trash into dresser.
What kind of absolute nowhere shanty town do you live where people aren't giving shit away
Milk crated are free if you go to the right fast food joint on the right day and don't mind being a little niggish. It's not like thew multi billion dollar companies will die from losing 6 milk crates.
If you want a proper dresser though try salvation army or a christian thrift store they have second hand furniture at a significant discount. I got a full love seat for 20 dollars.
Personally I use these things. I have 2 stacked on top of each other. Not the exact brand, but same idea.
>it’s free if you steal it
I’m now convinced everyone with milk crate furniture is a scum bag.
You thought highly of them before this? Wait until you find out what their pallet furniture is treated with.
>Milk crated are free if you go to the right fast food joint
LOL. fast foods dont use milk crates really. grocery stores and convenience stores would have them more than a fast food joint. just go behind a closed grocery store late at night and grab them off the loading dock where they store them until the delivery trucks come and take the empty ones back to the warehouses.
You can make something like
with a few 2x4s and pine board. Put it against a wall and Wa La!™
Go to Menards, they are like 30% lower for the same proper dairy industry crates. Just check to make sure they aren't damaged before buying. I wanna say they are like 10 bucks a piece at Menards.
Free stuff listings on Craigslist or your country's similar. Thrift stores if you are buying.
>Whats the cheapest way i can do this without just putting my clothes on the ground or building/ buying anything too expensive thats hard to transport after?
People give away perfectly good free shit all the time, find the appropriate app or social media service for your area to find that stuff. you can also buy extremely cheap but still relatively decent furniture from goodwill and similar thrift stores
Find a cute little wooden dresser somewhere, put a cheap book shelf on top if you need more space.
Use a hand truck to move it if you need to.
I can smell that image. If you get something like that, make sure to air it out and paint it really well, unless you want your stuff to smell like old people.
>damn these are really expensive.
You're supposed to steal them from behind grocery stores/gas stations moron.
good job reading the whole thread before posting this. literally 2 mins before you posted this was already suggested you moron
Do you have a closet? Just hang everything up.
why on earth would you pay for milk crates?
check the free section of craigslist for your area for free furniture
Uline? That’s for ppl with deep pockets like grainger
You steal them from behind grocery stores, not buy them.
thanks for suggesting something that was suggested yesterday and pretty much as soon as the thread was started. good job there tardo way to keep up with the conversation
Shush
>I thought milk crates would be a good idea but damn these are really expensive
????
You can pick them up for free outside any shop
Go thrift shop dummy.
I'm pretty sure you could have gotten them cheaper from usplastics. American made and they ship with a bible verse in each order.
The cheapest way to have a dresser is to find a used one that someone is giving away for free
Cardboard boxes and nylon strapping tape.
MRE box furniture is an ancient deployment staple and you can either throw it away or use some of it as boxes when moving. While deployed troops usually use duct tape because it's there, I brought my own strapping tape because it's far stronger and a couple rolls is cheap enough.
Liquor stores are great sources of strong cardboard boxes. I've used them often when moving and helping others move. Ask nicely and you can have many.
Large cardboard is great for lying on when working on cars and appliance boxes of size can donate large cardboard panels for the outside of larger furniture. I've gotten clean cardboard from appliance stores and welding supply houses (welders are heavy).
You want a proper box cutter anyway, nothing fancy, and a pack of blades is always worth owning.
Heavy furniture requires hauling and is more for esthetics than function. If travelling light the only items I'd buy would be tool boxes (with casters), medical carts (non-marring casters and everything else, these are fricking DIY gold especially for electronics), and one really good chair (I make those from car and van seats whose engineering far surpasses consumer chairs).
Yall are a bunch of fricking Black folk, seriously.
lol dumbass. Every "free shit" post on Craigslist is just a coded listing for gay sex.
