Dressers

Dressers come in various styles and sizes to suit different needs. We carry a wide selection of dressers, chests, and armoires.

Here are some common types:

• Horizontal or Standard Dressers: These are the most common type. They feature two or more rows of long, wide drawers. They vary in drawer count from 3-8 drawers.
• Double Dressers: These have double columns of wide, spacious drawers. They usually have more drawers, like 6-8 drawers.
• Combo Dressers: These combine dresser drawers with a wardrobe or other storage features.
• Tall Dressers or Chests of Drawers: These are taller and narrower than standard. They often offer 6-8 drawers for vertical storage.
• Modern Dressers: These feature sleek designs, clean lines, and often metal accents. They usually are white, black, or grey.
• Traditional Dressers: These have classic styles, such as farmhouse or vintage. They have wooden finishes and intricate details. They usually are brown or wood tones.
• Youthful Dressers: These are often in white or light wood tones. They are perfect for nurseries or children's rooms.

Many of our dressers are also a part of a collection. Look for complete bedroom sets or dresser mirrors in the style you like best.

The standard size of a chest of drawers can vary depending on the style and number of drawers. But, a typical dresser is around 60 inches wide, 20 inches deep, and 30 inches high.

For compact spaces, small, narrow, and low dressers are available.

A couple's needs depend on their wardrobe size and the bedroom layout. A basic setup might include one for each person. Couples with large wardrobes or more belongings may need more storage options.

Consider these factors when choosing bedroom dressers:

• Wardrobe size: The more clothes you have, the more storage you'll need.
• Bedroom layout: If your bedroom has limited space, you may need to be more creative with storage.
• Storage needs: Do you need storage for clothes only? Do you also need storage for linens, accessories, or other items?

The price of a dresser can vary depending on the size, style, material, and brand. They can range from affordable options to high-end luxury pieces.

Factors that influence price include:

• Size: Larger dressers generally cost more than smaller ones.
• Style: Modern and traditional dressers can have different price points.
• Material: High-quality materials are more expensive than composite materials.
• Brand: Well-known brands may charge a premium.

When shopping for a dresser, set a budget. Then, consider your needs and preferences to find the best value. We frequently have dressers for sale, so check our clearance furniture and sales.

Determining the quality of a dresser before you buy it can save you money and headaches in the long run.

Here's what to look for:

1. Materials:

• Solid Wood: The best quality dressers are solid wood. Look for hardwoods like oak, maple, cherry, or walnut for durability. Softwoods like pine are less expensive but more prone to dents and scratches.
• Engineered Wood (Plywood, MDF): These are acceptable alternatives, especially for larger pieces. High-quality plywood is strong. MDF (Medium-Density Fiberboard) is good for painted finishes but heavier than plywood.

2. Construction and Joinery:

• Dovetail Joints: These interlocking joints are a hallmark of quality construction in drawers. They provide superior strength and prevent the drawer fronts from pulling away.  
• Mortise and Tenon Joints: These are strong and classic joints often used in the frame.  
• Corner Blocks: These are small blocks of wood added to the corners of the frame to reinforce it.
• Screwed and Glued Joints: A combination of screws and glue is a good sign.
• Avoid Staples: Some staples are acceptable. But a dresser held together primarily by staples is likely poor quality.

3. Drawers:

• Drawer Glides: Look for smooth-operating drawer glides. Metal glides are generally better than plastic. Ball-bearing glides are the smoothest and most durable.
• Drawer Bottoms: Solid wood drawer bottoms are ideal but rare. A thick plywood bottom is a good second choice.
• Drawer Sides: Solid wood drawer sides are preferable. Plywood is also acceptable.

4. Finish:

• Smooth Finish: A well-applied finish should be smooth without drips or imperfections.
• Inside the Drawers: Check that the inside is finished, even if it's just a clear coat. It prevents the wood from absorbing moisture and warping.

5. Stability:

• Level and Sturdy: The dresser should sit level and stable without wobbling. Test it by gently pushing on the sides.
• Weight: A good quality dresser is heavier due to materials and construction.  

6. Details:

• Hardware: Look at the quality of the knobs or pulls. Are they solid and well-made, or are they flimsy and cheap?
• Back Panel: A solid wood or thick plywood back panel is a good sign.

7. Research:

• Research Brands: Research brands known for their quality furniture. We carry several well-known brands. Read reviews.

8. Inspection:

• In-Person: If possible, inspect the dresser in person before you buy it. Open and close the drawers, check the finish, and assess the construction.

By paying attention to these details, you can choose a dresser that will last for years.
