The Daily News hooked up with college professor Yvonne Mullings as she took her brand-new $69.99 Malm- a white three-drawer bedroom chest – flattened down tight into a bulky brown box, into her Brownsville, Brooklyn, flat. ‘I should have an engineering degree to do this,’ quipped Mullings as she looked at the wood pieces, pegs, screws and other parts before her.”–NYDN
