Nice design but cheap materials

I still really love the design of this shoe cabinet. Its modern, sleek and thin. It fits right near my foyer and can hold a good amount of shoes. But I also have a 4y and 22m old and they are so rough with the bottom drawer. The two cheap plastic dowels are there to prevent the drawer from opening to far and catch the drawer into place when you close it. So after 10 times the kids just snapped both of the plastic dowels. We had to replace it with a screw but not sure how long that is going to last. We are afraid to drill into it to get to the other plastic half still stuck because it seems like the sides are made of particle board and are more likely to drill right through it like a piece of paper. Again, love the design, wish they spent a little more with the quality of the materials. I guess you get what you pay for!
