5 Tips to Buy a Bedroom Dresser

When buying a bedroom dresser, there are a few things that you need to keep in your mind like the size, style and others. In this article, you will get to know all about them. 

A dresser is a bedroom furniture. It generally refers to either a dressing table or a chest of drawers, which holds clothing. It has become one of the must-haves in a bedroom. Here are some tips on buying a bedroom dresser. 

Buyers must measure their bedroom for its exact dimensions and assess the space they would want their dresser to occupy, including the width, height and depth. If they have plans to place the furniture in one corner, they must check whether the doors allow enough space when opened. The buyers must also take into account how they wish to store their clothes and what they want to store in their dresser and accordingly choose whether to go for deep dresser drawers or smaller drawers. 

The dresser's style must coincide with the décor style of the bedroom. There are different kinds of dresser styles available – traditional, modern, contemporary and country. While choosing the style, the buyer needs to see which one matches with the interior décor of their bedroom and then buy accordingly. For instance, if the bedroom is set with traditional and formal furnishings, traditional dresser will be best for the room. 

Dressers are available in different kinds of materials like wood, bamboo, glass and wicker. But the ones that are made up of wood are the sturdiest. A very few buyers can afford a solid wood dresser. Mahogany, teak and cedar are generally used for dressers because these materials are resistant to moisture damage and rot. 

Quality 

It is very important to check for the signs of quality. So, the buyer before buying needs to check:

If solid wood is used all through, including the drawers and for backing because that's going to make the dresser a lot more durable.  

If legs & feet are made up of wood. Moreover, each foot must be carved as single unit with leg.

Whether there are glue, staples and nails because all these are signs of low quality construction

By pushing & pulling the dresser a few times. In no way, it must budge.

The wood has been kiln-dried because that helps prevent peeling as well as splitting. 

The top portion of a dresser is the best place for a mirror. In fact, there are many dressers that include mirrors as well as frames. Buyers should make sure that the mirror complements the décor of the room and is proportionate to the size of the furniture.
