Quick backstory: My dad is an asshole who won't help and only does things his way, and if it benefits him. When we moved into our house, I was 14 and there was a built-in dresser in my new room. I really wanted to keep it because I thought it was really pretty but my dad for some reason said I couldn't. So he tore it out and had a new (old) one built in. For some stupid reason, he had, and still has it in his mind that it was the dresser being bolted/built in that I wanted, not the original dresser itself. The one he put in was used, old wood and while it was probably very nice when it was made, it wasn't going to last much longer when I got it. It's now 10 years later and I need a new one. The bottom two drawers don't close and I can't move it to clean under/around it so when our new kitten peed on it, there was no way to get the smell completely out and now our cats continue to pee/spray there. I clean what I can, but I can't clean it completely. I'm fed up with it. I've been asking for about 3 years now for a new dresser for Christmas and birthdays but my dad always shuts me down and says it's impossible to get rid of the old one because it's bolted in.
TLDR; My dad says I can't get a new dresser because my old one is bolted into the wall.
So. Is it really impossible? I know it might be some extra work, but do I need special tools? I don't care if I have to ruin the dresser itself, but I'd like to keep from damaging the wall. I also wouldn't mind if the back of the dresser stayed bolted and I put the new one in front of/up against it.
