Collection: Furniture Classics Bedroom Dressers & Chests

A wide dresser gives you more surface for a mirror, lamp or jewelry tray. A taller chest uses less wall length when storage matters more than display space. The Apothecary reclaimed wood eight-drawer dresser is an example to consider when you want to sort clothing into several drawers rather than stack everything together.

Should you choose a wide dresser or a taller chest?

Measure the wall between the door trim and the next obstruction, then measure out from the wall toward the bed. The closed depth only tells part of the story: leave room to pull out a drawer and stand in front of it. Look at drawer interiors for bulky sweaters or folded bedding instead of judging capacity by the number of handles. Compare your choice with the footprint of the bed frame before settling on a layout.
