Furniture Frustrations

I need a new dresser.
I don't think you can really tell from this picture, but all of my drawers are broken.
None so broken as the bottom two though.
The whole bit was cheap fake wood that has cracked and snapped in such a way I can't nail, screw or even glue it back together.
As a result the bottom drawer is sort of sitting on the floor, and the top drawer is sitting on top of the bottom one.
It is quite the bother actually.
I have 2 clothes baskets full of laundry that need putting away, and I can't even put it away. I'm afraid the drawers will stain or damage the clothing they sit on.
Unfortunately, with no money left over at the end of the bills there's not a big likelihood of getting a new dresser any time soon.
I would have to use my online earnings, and since I'm earning less than a buck a day combined I'm not seeing myself buying myself a new dresser with it either.
Maybe a couple of years from now, when my pennies have added up to dollars.

I would rather buy old, but real wood than the modern new furniture. I know, that opinion does not help you at all. I think I earn more than a buck a day, but my best revenue site, although not a fun site, is Textbroker. I think I could earn enough in a month to buy a good second hand dresser there. I am sorry Noner. I am sort of in a dresser shortage myself, but I could fix it if I wanted to.

The dresser was a gift (along with matching bed and chest of drawers) from my mother in law when we got married. The bed bit the dust a while back, the chest of drawers still fine (knock on wood.)
I not sure about real wood, but I'm likely to buy seconhand when I get enough scratched togther.
