Dresser Buying Guide
Measure first. Know the wall width, ceiling height (for tall chests), and depth clearance. Standard dresser depth is 18–20 inches. Add 3 inches for drawer extension.
Think about what goes inside. Deep drawers handle bulky sweaters and jeans. Shallow top drawers work for accessories and undergarments. If you fold more than you hang, invest in a wider dresser over a tall chest.
Match or mix. You don't need a matching bedroom set. Pair a new dresser with a consigned nightstand or a different-wood bed frame: mixed materials look intentional when the scale is right. Our team can help you coordinate.
Check the construction. Dovetail drawer joints, center-mount glides, and solid wood drawer boxes are signs of quality that outlast price point. Open a drawer and look at the corners and the glides before you decide.

Frequently Asked Questions
How wide a dresser do I need?
Measure the wall and leave a few inches on each side. A wide dresser of 6 to 9 drawers suits a primary bedroom wall, while a tall chest suits a narrow space. Allow room for drawers to open fully, usually the dresser depth plus about 3 inches.
What should I look for in a used dresser?
Pull each drawer out fully and check that it slides without sticking. Look for dovetail joints and solid wood drawer boxes, check the top for water rings, and smell the drawers, since odors are hard to remove.
Do you have used dressers?
Yes. Many of our dressers are consigned, pre-owned pieces approved and priced by our team. Consigned pieces come and go fast, so check back often.
How do I care for a wood dresser?
Dust with a soft cloth, wipe spills right away, and keep it out of direct sun and away from heating vents. Use felt pads under lamps and decor to protect the finish.
