Cheap Chests of Drawers That Look Expensive
If you are looking for a dresser right now and are short on cash, I have a few suggestions for you. Chests of drawers seem boring, but think about it: they take up a lot of real estate. As much as the bed, linens and window treatments, your chest of drawers can make or break your bedroom design.
Posted — UpdatedIf you are looking for a dresser right now and are short on cash, I have a few suggestions for you. Chests of drawers seem boring, but think about it: they take up a lot of real estate. As much as the bed, linens and window treatments, your chest of drawers can make or break your bedroom design.
The secret to choosing a cheap chest of drawers is to find one that does not attempt to imitate the style of more expensive furniture in your bedroom, but rather complements it. Fake wood? Maybe not. Wood tone rattan instead? For sure.
Since I refuse to include anything made with MDF or particleboard, the pickings are slim for new pieces. Yard sales, Craigslist and eBay could provide you with affordable refuge from cheap composites, or check out your local unfinished furniture warehouse.
