Dresser Dilemma

Our dressers are old. And cheap.

They used to belong to my parents, who bought them a long time ago.
My mom told me that they bought them cheap at an "unfinished wood" type of store back when they were young and trying to afford furniture for their house (hmmm, that sounds familiar).

I think they are pine and are just stapled together.

The dresser set was handed down to me from my parents when I was in college.
I gave them a makeover back then by sanding them and painting them cream.
I left the top part wood colored by staining it.

I remember having a huge issue with finding new pulls for the drawers.
The hideous handles that were on the dresser were a funky size and I could not find replacements to fit.
So I improvised by spray painting some washers black and using those to cover up the old screw holes.
Then I had to special order some pulls that were wide enough so that I could conceal the old holes.
When Jacob and I first got married, I was moving one of the dressers from my parents house to our new apartment. I had it in the back of his truck and it fell out while I was driving up a hill! Whoops!!
That left a big dig in the top of the dresser and I must have lost one of the handles too.
Now, seven years and 3 moves later, our dressers are in pretty bad shape.
They are falling apart. And they look tired.
Another handle has gone missing too.

I'm all for re-purposing furniture, giving it a facelift and making stuff last, but I think these dressers have just about had enough.
I was going to repaint them white (they are cream now) and get new drawer handles, but I'm having some issues...

I can't find handles I like that fit (and don't cost and arm and a leg).
The washers I spray painted to cover the old holes are now permanently stuck and I can't get them off without gouging up the drawers.

My husband has always hated the dressers anyways -
can't say that I blame him since they are always falling apart.

So my dilemma...
Should I revamp them once again and just deal with their crappiness?
or
Should I have my husband build me a new dresser?
This would mean more money, more time...

I'm leaning towards having him build me one similar to this one from PB.
I think this is going to take a while...
Jacob has never built a dresser and we don't have any plans to go off of, just the picture above.
So I guess that means I have to play the waiting game...

I'm not good at waiting.
