How to Buy a Dresser
No bedroom is complete without a nice dresser to keep your clothes neatly folded and out of sight. This piece of furniture is meant to be not only practical but also an attractive design element that makes a statement. So, as you start shopping for a dresser, here are the details to consider before you buy.
Dresser vs. Chest of Drawers
First, make sure you know what defines a dresser and how this piece of furniture differs from a chest of drawers. While both are meant to hold clothes, they have slightly different features that set them apart. In particular, a chest of drawers is tall and somewhat narrow, with about five or six drawers within the frame.

On the other hand, a dresser is low and wide, so it takes up more space than a chest of drawers. In addition, the drawers tend to be deeper, and there can be anywhere from three long drawers to six or more short drawers within a dresser frame.
Choose the Right Size
Consider Color and Style
Now that you’ve thought about the practical details, such as size, turn your attention to the fun part — the design of the dresser.
Once you find a dresser in the color you want, look for unique details that make it the perfect option for your room.
