Their homeowner grade boxes are pretty crappy. Into the higher line ones, they
only differences seem to be the drawer slides; ball bearing vs sliders. The
sliders are adequate for most folks. I would try to get a full-depth top
chest; a lot more versatile space than the ones that are only like 10" deep.
I also don't care for the narrow two- or three-across drawers; If I want
narrow drawers, I'll installer spacers in the sizes I want.
What color does she like ;) Here's a lovely pink one!
