Tips for Buying the Perfect Dresser
Whether
you
are purchasing a dresser for a bedroom that has already been furnished
or you
are starting from scratch, there are some things to look for if you
want to buy
one that will be the perfect storage solution for your personal taste
and
lifestyle. Because bedroom
dressers
are available in such a wide range of styles, types, sizes and
finishes, you
will want to have some idea of what to look for. The four main things
to
consider for buying the perfect dresser are purpose, size, quality and
style.
Purpose of
Dressers
Who are you
buying the bedroom dresser for and
where is it going? You’re not going to buy the same type of dresser for
your
master bedroom as you would for you child’s room. And a dresser you
pick for
your younger child will be different again from one you choose for your
teen’s
room. Kids dressers typically have
rounded corners, use non-toxic finishes and possess kid-friendly
hardware.
This might
seem redundant, but what are you planning to use the dresser for? If
you want
to store a variety of items such as smaller-sized accessories, lingerie
and
sweaters, dresser furniture that
has
a number of different sized drawers will be a better choice for you
than a
bedroom dresser that has drawers of the same size.
Dresser Size
Dressers come in a
number of sizes and
configurations, the most common of which are the single dresser, the
double
dresser and the triple dresser.
In addition
to a dresser’s single, double or triple configuration, they are
available in
several different sizes. Take measurements of the area where the
dresser is to
go so that you’ll have some idea as to whether or not it will fit.
Drsser Quality
Quality
doesn’t have to mean expensive; many discount dressers are well-made.
Look for:
- Drawers
with dovetailed joints
- Drawer
and cabinet with smooth edges and sides
- Solid
wood construction
- Hardware
like drawer-glides and drawer and door handles that operates smoothly
and is
easy to use
Dresser Style
Especially
if you are replacing a dresser or buying one for a room that already
has
furniture in it, you will want to match it in style and color to the
other furnishings.
A white dresser will stick out in
an
otherwise black furnished room or a pine
dresser will definitely look out of place when
paired with a traditional
mahogany bedroom set.
While
you need a dresser that is practical and functional, it also has to
look good.
Since a bedroom (adult’s or child’s) is used for more than just
sleeping, it
should also be an inviting place you can relax and hang out. The style
of
furniture you or your child selects will mostly depend upon personal
tastes (age,
gender and interests).
