It was harder than I'd imagined to get them to a size where the drawer would easily slide into its spot, and then when I did get it cut down right, I didn't take into account that the decoupaging would add to it.

I still have a box a friend made for me with wrapping paper of books (easier than a drawer I expect!). It's held up pretty well for many years so I am sure it will be enjoyed for a long time :)
