So, basically, it's a dresser?

I'll buy one, but for less then half the asking price. And I'll come pick it up.

Is that compressed wood (particle board), or are they actual wood? I only ask because they look like compressed wood with a laminate finish?

[elmarmot]

yes, you are right they are made of compressed wood with a laminate finish.

[elmarmot]

no one interested ?

[Fly2theSky]

Yeah, I seriously think no one will be interested in them at that price. And I can't believe you paid that much for them new! Seems like basic $50 IKEA, Wal-Mart stuff, but then again, stuff like that is still sold at outrageous prices in Korea.

Hi Fly2theSky,

I don't know where you are living now, but last year there was no IKEA in Korea, when it was opened (around may 2007), I visited it and it was ridiculous, imagine it was a house 2 floors, with few furnitures no more, now I know that they improve it, you can order through web.

I looked at european IKEA website, and the lowest price I found was 49euros, thus around 79$, reference is MALM, with only 3 drawers and 78 cm high, not at all mine.

Then I looked at you "Wal-Mart" that had sold all its store to E-mart since 2006, well I spents 30minutes to look at E-mart website and I found only 1 furniture more or less equivalent to mine, price 143.100 Wons (brand JATTO).

If you are not convince that I have paid 304.000, I invit you to look at the receipt, third line:

If you are not interested in buying stuff, OK but please don't try to compare myself to unfair person, because I am not at all this.

If you find other equivalent furniture, I invit you also to post it here under my message, because like this any interested people will be happy to find a cheap product,

regards
