I did a similar thing some years back. I bought 1 of the drawer units for hanging folders at a salvage yard. My son used it for his dresser in his room and took it off to college. the drawers were deep, the walls were metal for magnets and stuff, and the best thing was that you had to completely close one drawer before opening another. Hence his room stayed neat. I got 2 more but these had a shelf on the top and then 4 drawers. I put a different color fabric in each and stacked them so that I could see each fabric at a glance. Works great!
