Mary and Mare,I had trouble with the front drawers on the Suit Cart Sunday.The second drawer was stuck under the top drawer and once I got it open I had a really hard time getting it closed. I ended up putting the contents of the second drawer into the top drawer and locking it just in case I had to leave the second one open. It is all locked now but that is why the second drawer is empty. It needs some attention.
