The real deals have a bunch of small drawers, but when you’re looking for a storage solution in your home, a bunch of small little drawers aren’t going to be very helpful.
Unless you have a bunch of tiny little things to store. I don’t, so I love the faux look, but really behind the amazing style, there is a larger storage area that is totally going to create more storage solutions in your home. Heck yes!
Real or faux, I’m right there with everyone else in falling in love with them.
