i think it would be great to own one so that i can get rid of my cheapo walmart plastic bins! the only thing keeping me from buying one is that i want to find an alternative to the fiberboard drawer liners. i own malm dressers (one tall set and a long drawer) and the fiberboard lining has caved in from the weight of my jeans. i keep having to get creative to prevent it from caving in (stuff sometimes gets stuck in the back where it connects to the drawer wall).
why did you not want the backing? just it could be see through? or because it was flimsy?? if you left it off cause it is flimsy, you could buy wood from lowes and have them cut it to fit the bookcase. i did this with all my malm furniture and it added enough *weight* to prevent them from tipping over if i left the top drawer open. is this the one you bought?
