The Oops cabinet is one of the stranger pieces of furniture to come out. Normally I wouldn’t advise buying a piece of furniture that looks like it took a bowling ball straight through the middle, but in this case it may be the best course of action.
In older cartoons (specifically Looney Toons), we see designs like this -- mainly in the middle of one of the characters -- but in this case it’s in the middle of a dresser. Fear not though, as the dresser isn’t actually broken and each piece still operates the normal way.
The specific dressers are different sizes, due to the seemingly random jagged edges, but still slide out and hold everything the right way.
