<p>[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 85523, member: 33"]Thanks... It has 5 drawers and the middle one will not open. Looks like somebody might have tried to pry it open and the metal in the middle of the top of the drawer is split. And mine has one pull in the center of each drawer (another way that it differs from the others posted here). The split in the metal is right above the pull and weakens the ability to pull the drawer, which is stuck.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I didn't see labels inside any of the other drawers, and none on the back. The bottom of it is not rusted completely through but around the bottom edge there is a significant amount of rust. Near where it sits there are sometimes water leaks into the basement from outside. (Another thing to have fixed.) So I'll have to think about it. I've grown to appreciate it more, that's for sure. I've mostly ignored it all of these years!</p><p><br /></p><p>I will at least move it to a different part of the basement that is less likely to take in a little water.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
