The Cupboard

So we have a "wardrobe" right...which is actually just 2 old cupboard. They're those seventies looking cupboards with gold brass handles and glued on thin ply that has wood patterns on.

Apart from the door that wouldn't close, we have discovered more interesting things about them. The drawer on the left, is stuck for one thing. And if we forced it open, the whole drawer just drop out of it's latch. So we had to spend a few minutes trying to heave the bloody thing back into it's slot and get it into the latch.

Then there is the compartment on top of it. The pole for hanging is bent...as in if you hang anything on it, they will all slide to the centre and the weight will make it bend even more....duh. The g-force of this caused stress to the side of the panels and they are being pushed outwards...which caused the entire cupboard to look abit fat in the middle.... if you know what I mean.

The stacks of drawers on the right, which initially looked ok...turned out to be not as great either. They had to be opened in a certain order...eg. 2nd drawer first, top next, last drawer and then 2nd last. If not, then you will have the task of putting back 4 drawers into their latch. Very time consuming.

Then the question is: "Why are we using such troublesome cupboards?"

Well for one thing, they are left for us by our landlord. 2nd thing, we as tenants were not supposed to remove or install anything that is out of the original condition of the unit....no nails on the wall, no repainting, blah blah blah.

Anyway, apart from it's condition, these are still very useful cupboards for storage. They have plenty of compartments and also a big mirror. It's things like these that makes our life interesting for recollection later. So we are counting our blessings and enjoying every moment of it.
