6 Drawer Bedroom Dresser

This dresser was inspired by the bedside table I loved the table but wanted to have a couple of dressers to fill in my bedroom. So I went on to create my own plan to complement the design and look of the night table.

Drawer construction. I used birch tape to finish the narrow edges of each drawer, which makes it look more professional.

Finishing

Sand all surfaces, starting with a medium grit and finishing with fine. Wipe off the dust, fill any holes or gaps with wood filler, and sand smooth once dry. Apply primer if you're painting, then finish with your choice of paint or stain and seal with a durable clear topcoat. For outdoor projects, use exterior-rated primer, paint or stain, and sealer so the piece stands up to the weather.
