Dressers & Chests

Most dressers are made of strong woods like walnut, oak, or engineered wood. This ensures they are durable and have a warm, natural appearance. Solid wood offers durability and a classic look. MDF with veneer is an affordable option. Metal dressers bring a sleek and modern design. Choose based on your style and needs.

The ideal dresser height is between 28 and 34 inches. Standard dressers are 28-30 inches, while tall ones reach 34 inches. Low dressers are around 28 inches, perfect for rooms with lower beds.

A chest of drawers is a tall, vertical storage unit with multiple drawers, while a dresser is typically wider and shorter, often with a flat surface on top. Dressers may also include a mirror, while chests of drawers focus solely on storage.

To match a dresser with bedroom decor, choose a style that fits the room’s theme. Pick a color that complements the room’s palette and ensure the material matches other furniture pieces. The dresser should also fit the room’s size, balancing the layout without overcrowding.

Choose a dresser size based on the room’s available space and your storage needs. A smaller dresser (28-30 inches) is ideal for smaller rooms, while a larger dresser (30-36 inches) offers more storage for bigger spaces. Consider the room layout to maintain balance.

The standard dresser depth is typically between 16 and 20 inches (41 to 51 cm). This range offers enough storage while ensuring the dresser doesn’t take up too much space in the room.
