Here be dragons: Thrifted Ikea dresser remade with graphite paper and woodburning kit

Even the cheap crap can be made much more durable. Staple gun with brads for the backboards, PVA glue for the long edges and structural joints/dowels. Bracing large areas of backboard with a strip of wood helps, too. You won’t be able to take them apart, but they’ll survive a house-move or three intact.
