Buying furniture for your home can be a large undertaking, especially if this is your first home. Bedroom furniture like dressers and chests can help keep the space tidy, while also helping it to feel put together or “finished.” Quality-made dressers and chests are pieces that will serve you for years into the future, bringing functionality and aesthetics to any bedroom.
The most expensive option may hold up against children, pets, humidity, and more, but other cheaper options that are still built with quality materials can provide the same benefits. Researching the materials and craftsmanship is what truly sets pieces apart from low-quality dressers and chests. Learn more about how these pieces can improve your bedroom below.
Pleasant User Experience
When purchasing a piece of furniture, one thing you should consider is if it is easy to use. A piece of furniture that isn’t functional may be a pretty centerpiece, but it could make your life harder and more chaotic. Choosing a furniture piece that is easy to use and can perform its proper functions will best serve your bedroom. For dressers and chests, that means that drawers and doors open smoothly, hardware doesn’t fall off during use, and the materials resist damage from everyday activities like folding clothes, dusting, or putting an item in the dresser.
Durable Through All Stages Of Life
A solid wood dresser is a piece that can be utilized through many stages of life. Purchasing a quality piece during your young adult years may allow you to use a dresser through college, marriage, children, and beyond. Having a quality dresser that withstands consistent opening and closing of drawers is a great way to always have a staple piece in the bedroom. Wood furniture is also easier to repair or refinish. If your dresser or chest becomes scratched or dented, it is easier to hide these imperfections than it would be to fix a particle board or plastic dresser.
Longer-Lasting Hardware
Drawer or door pulls are constantly being used on a bedroom dresser. These little pieces of hardware have the most important job, so it is important that their material and installation method are made with this consistent use in mind. High-quality furniture will feature high-quality hardware, with drawer pulls or knobs being made of metal or wood and coated to help prevent the oils on our hands from damaging their finish. Instead of pulling out a knob one morning while rushing to get ready for work, your quality dresser will open and close smoothly when you think of this bedroom piece as a long-term investment.
Refinishing an older dresser that still has a long life? Choose hardware like copper, brushed nickel, or solid wood for longevity and aesthetics.
Keeping The Space Organized
Dressers and chests are a great way to keep your bedroom looking put together. Dresser drawers can seemingly “hide” different items, including clothing, extra linens, and personal items that make a bedroom feel cluttered. Chests and dressers often have different sized sections or can be separated using dividers to fit children’s clothes, books, socks, bulky items like jeans or coats, and more. Keeping your space organized can help keep your mind clear, allowing you to tackle each day with ease.
More Unique Designs
Wood furniture pieces often come in a wide variety of designs and colors, making them the perfect choice for any home style. Handcrafted dressers and chests will have unique touches you can’t get anywhere else, making each piece truly one of a kind. Some dressers can start to look the same, giving a flat or uninteresting appearance. While some bedroom designs may benefit from these dressers, there are many higher-quality options that provide a sleek appearance without feeling industrial. Choosing a piece that was handcrafted can help bring the entire design of your bedroom together, making it feel inviting after a long workday.
