Tanic Midcentury Modern Chest

Though it wasn't made in post-war Europe, this three-drawer dresser is as midcentury as it gets. From the sharp lines to the tapered legs, this compact find can also double as a nightstand with storage for all of your bedtime essentials you don't need to put on display. Did we mention you can click on the sneaky little coupon when adding the dresser to your cart to save an additional chunk of change? You'll have to click to find out how much.

6-Drawer Dresser

We may be partial to the crisp all-white look of this clean-lined dresser, but if you want something a bit more dramatic for your bedroom, snag this piece in any of the three additional finishes, including black, walnut, and a distressed charcoal. Full disclosure, the other colors read a bit farmhouse, so if your bedroom skews modern, you may want to go with the white. If you're putting it across from your bed, top it with a big-screen TV.

Brynn Modern Nightstand

Can you believe that this midcentury-inspired chest of drawers, available in three finishes and four styles, is less than $200? If you’re assuming it’s so cheap because it’s made using faux wood, think again. Made of solid pine and drawers with a 50-pound weight limit, this is a must-have. We also kind of love that there are zero pulls and no hardware in sight.

Odette 6-Drawer Dresser

Then again, when the hardware is unique and different, we're into it. Case in point: This Contour & Co. dresser, which features six wide drawers. If you're counting to double-check our math, there's no need. The top row is, indeed, two large drawers that are designed to look like four smaller ones. All six are fixed on telescoping metal glides, so you won't ever have to pull them open too hard to get to your things.

Gemini 3-Drawer Dresser

Back to the hardware-less pieces: This West Elm find is on sale for nearly $200 off, so if you want to save on a luxurious piece that doesn't skimp on style, you've found a worthy contender. The whole piece is covered in a water-based walnut finish, making this a durable and long-lasting find you'll cherish for years to come.

Hengrove 6-Drawer Dresser

Cane arrived in the U.S. (primarily as patio furniture) in the 1970s and hasn’t gone anywhere since. There’s something beachy yet polished about cane furniture like this classic six-drawer horizontal dresser that makes the entire space feel warm and welcoming. Perhaps it’s because there’s nothing fussy or precious about cane!

Katia Modern 3-drawer Chest

Safavieh has been crafting timeless furniture for more than 100 years, so the creatives there know a thing or two about stylish pieces. Our favorite? The rubber wood Katie dresser. It’s large enough to stash your sweaters and jeans but small enough to double as an end table.

Midcentury Dresser

“Vintage” and “affordable” are two words that rarely exist in the same sentence, but 1stDibs is bringing them together by way of a beech and oak dresser made in the Czech Republic circa the 1960s. It may show its age more than a brand new wardrobe, but the barely visible imperfections simply confirm that this piece is backed by a story. Sold!

Lundy 8-Drawer Dresser

At first glance, this eight-drawer boasts a very simple aesthetic. In fact, it may be too simple for some. That said, it’s classic and easy to style. We’d suggest curating a collection of mementos (a jewelry box, framed pictures, and a bud vase to get the ideas flowing) on its wide, flat surface to make this simple dresser your own.

Dayton 3-Drawer Dresser

The fact that this luxury three-drawer masterpiece is even available is reason enough to snag it, but it's also 50 percent off. There's also white glove delivery. Need we say more? If so, it's specifically designed for small spaces but can work in just about any room where you could use some extra storage. One recommendation? Always use a coaster because the mango wood will most definitely remember when you don't.

Dorcus 3-Drawer Dresser

Midcentury modern may be the longest reigning design movement, but Art Deco is a close second, and this chic dresser is proof. With its curved edges and fluted details, it’s Deco in every way, and we’re here for it. The best part? The subtle rose gold pulls, which makes it feel even more glamorous.

What is the average cost of a dresser?

Dressers can cost as little as $100 or as much as $5,000, depending on where you get it. So it's difficult to determine the average cost, but a good dresser that will last at least a few years typically costs anywhere between $150 and $600.

What is the difference between a dresser and an armoire?

The term "dresser" is actually short for "dressing table," which is typically longer than it is wide and topped with a flat surface. Armoires, on the other hand, are usually a bit larger and taller than your average dresser. Dressers and all of its synonyms can be used to store clothes (or anything else for that matter), so if you have space for a case piece, you can't go wrong with one of these.
