Alphabet Drawers by Kent and London

This vintage printing block inspired dresser may set you back a pretty penny, but, it's worth the asking price. Imagine this in your home and all of the lessons you can teach from it. I'm thinking D is for Diapers, P is for Pajamas!

The Alphabet Drawers from Kent and London is the newest addition to their set of handmade furniture. The chest of drawers is made from solid oak and is complete with 26 drawers, one for each letter of the alphabet.

The Alphabet Drawers is listed at £2700.00. But like their website says, "It's the perfect place to file everything from A-Z".

Seems to me this is an ikea hack waiting to happen.

Three Fira mini chests stacked on top of one another and bolted together, some paint, wood letters, stain, wood glue, and if your feeling really frisky, legs.

27 drawers......A-Z plus a character of your choice. I'd probably go with an asterick.

I agree it's not the most practical item, but MAN is it pretty.

I love it! love it! love it! love it! I'm not sure if its the teacher in me who sees the neat ways to use this to teach the alphabet or just the abstract side of me that loves the odd uniqueness of this.....

However, I'd never pay that much for it - or any where near that much... (now to convince hubby to take up wood carving!!)

I agree with mmead on the hackability, with the caveat that a really good hack would mean taking the time be selective about sizes, fonts, etc. to create an impressive arrangement.
