I used to use those plastic milk crates too, but I used some wire to attached them together. I used some stacked together as a desk one time also.

i remember almost furnishing a whole flat with milk crates and old wooden cordial boxes.
i have an elfa wardrobe and office and it is terrific.
expensive but infinitely flexible and it can travel with you if you move.
i have no intention of moving, but it's nice to know i can.
my old dresser is really there more as an antique and lovely piece of furniture......160 year old nz kauri.
i keep some linens in there and my travel gear (drawstring pack bags, bag that converts to a pillow, travel toiletries bottles, microfibre towel, silk sleeping bag, rain poncho)....my hankies and socks....that's about it.Posted 1 year ago # -
I haven't had a dresser in a couple years. Most stuff hangs. The last closet had some shelves, so folded stuff went there. Socks & underwear go into the spare suitcase.

*grinning at Nithy, lottielot and everyone else who's said "Wait a minute: I'M the grown-up now, I get to decide what I should be doing!"*
To the original question: the bed has built-in drawers with lids, and most of what we wear is soft knits (T-shirts, tank tops, yoga pants and underthings), so it stores in there quite happily. We don't miss the dresser.
I'd like to go back to the idea of "grown-ups SHOULD own X" briefly, if the thread will indulge me? When DH and I started looking at new places, we also started looking at how we actually live in our current house. After studying how much time we spent where, we quickly realized that the living/dining rooms are walked through to get to the parts of the house we're really using: the office, the kitchen and the family room. We could lose two-thirds of our current furniture and not miss it.
