Too Many Clothes, Not Enough Space? These Are the Best Places to Buy Dressers for Anyone Whose Wardrobe Runs Their Life
From affordable finds to investment pieces, here’s where to shop for a dresser that fits your style and space
Julia Demer
Black Friday dresser deals are arriving earlier than ever, so I’ve reviewed my go-to retailers and highlighted the best offers at the top of this page to make shopping as easy as possible.
My ‘you can never have too many clothes’ motto is cute right up until I get home and realize my apartment disagrees. The piles, it seems, are starting to unionize. Buy fewer clothes? Absolutely not. My ever-expanding wardrobe simply needs a better place to live. If you, too, treat your clothes like dependents, finding the best places to buy dressers is imperative.
Because a dresser is probably one of the most versatile bedroom storage ideas you'll ever own. It corrals your everyday uniforms, swallows any off-season overflow, and, occasionally, hides the guest-room linens you pretend are perfectly organized. And because you interact with it daily, choosing one that’s actually stylish can majorly shift the look of a space.
The problem, of course, is that there are too many dressers. There are sculptural skinny towers. Sprawling nine-drawer giants. Pieces under $200 and pieces the price of a studio apartment. Solid wood, MDF, veneers – and what does any of it actually mean? I’ve parsed out the differences across styles, materials, dimensions, and budgets to help you land on something you’ll love opening every morning.
As a shopping editor with an ever-growing wardrobe (one that’s about to grow again, thanks to Black Friday), this is both my job and my preferred sport. I’ve logged the screen time, combing through Anthropologie, Wayfair, IKEA, and more to bring you the best places to buy dressers online… just in time for deals and, ideally, a little closet integrity.
The Best Black Friday Dresser Deals
Black Friday is a little like a birthday – it somehow lasts all week – which means the sales are already in full swing. And if you’re not early, you’re late. Here are the best dresser deals worth shopping this Black Friday.
- Anthropologie: The Hale dressers are 30% off. I repeat: the Hale dressers are 30% off – including Pink Stripe, Francois Tapestry, and the endlessly viral Judarn canvas pattern.
- CB2: Save hundreds on sleek-lined, photo-ready dressers – the very styles you’ve been admiring in influencer apartments from afar.
- Soho Home: Finally take the plunge on those investment-worthy channeled designs you’ll keep forever. The only question is: Spanish Marquina marble or Carrara?
- Walmart: Fabric dressers under $50? Believe it. The always-low prices have truly never been lower.
- Wayfair: Take up to a staggering 76% off select dressers, with top-rated picks from Wade Logan and Ebern Designs – plenty under the $200 mark.
- West Elm: Score nearly 50% off breezy rattan dressers and low-slung mid-century classics.
The Top 3 Dressers on Sale for Black Friday
Seventy-six percent off is borderline criminal. This fluted mid-century Ebern Designs dresser holds far more than it looks like it should (4.5 stars, 200+ reviews) and usually retails for $899.99. In other words – run.
30% off in-cart might not be the biggest Black Friday discount you’ll see, but as far as bucket-list buys go, Anthropologie’s Francois-patterned Hale Dresser is tough to top. These pieces basically never go on sale, which makes this the window if you’ve been eyeing one. Every canvas pattern is included, so the choice is yours.
Contemporary curves like this usually run into the four-figure range, making this barely-there, no-foot silhouette something of a unicorn. And if you’re feeling sultry, the black finish is even cheaper.
The Shortlist
There’s always some overlap, but if I had to give my favorite dresser retailers superlatives, here’s how I’d divide and conquer – especially with Black Friday chaos closing in.
- Best for timeless style: McGee & Co.
- Best for unique design: Anthropologie
- Best for customer reviews: Wayfair
- Best for matching sets: Macy's
- Best for designer collections: Target
- Best for tight budgets: IKEA
- Best for Black Friday deals: Walmart
Best places to buy a dresser
From sleek modern designs to timeless wooden pieces, it is essential to choose a dresser that aligns with your style while offering enough storage to keep your clutter in order. So, whether you’re shopping on a budget or looking to invest in an everlasting piece, these top brands have it all, from tallboys to double dressers that will help you declutter and reclaim your bedroom.
1. Wayfair
Wayfair’s range of quality and stylish home furniture is unparalleled, and its bedroom storage is no exception. A simple search for ‘dressers and chests’ yields over 18,000 results. Luckily, there are plenty of specialist filters to narrow the selection. You can shop by color, price, brand, and even number of drawers for dressers of every shape and size. Better yet, your dresser will be dispatched within days – the vast majority of Wayfair dressers ship fewer than 72 hours after sale.
What to buy: Shop for the biggest range and customer reviews
Materials: Solid and Manufactured Wood Dimensions: 30'' H x 60'' W x 18.'' D
Lark Manor is a popular brand on Wayfair for good reason. This double dresser is built from solid engineered wood with a weathered, French country finish and gold hardware to look like a vintage trunk.
Materials: Solid and Manufactured Wood Dimensions: 31.5'' H x 47.2"' W x 15.7'' D
Well-executed Scandi-style furniture is notoriously hard to find on a budget, but the 4.4-star rating on this Wayfair piece suggests it’s one of the rare unicorns. The tall legs keep the silhouette looking (literally) elevated, while six drawers offer generous storage.
Materials: Solid Wood Dimensions: 30'' H x 63'' W x 19'' D
For a classic style with a whimsical twist, this six-drawer dresser is a timeless option that will look oh-so-pretty in your bedroom. You could also use it in a nursery as a changing table or as a super charming console table.
2. West Elm
Although their selection is on the smaller side, every one of West Elm’s deep-drawer dressers provides a whole lot of storage space. They’re timeless, too, painted in neutral colors or finished in natural wood which will complement most interiors.
Style aside, one of West Elm’s biggest selling points is its home delivery and assembly package. For a small extra fee, your dresser can be delivered to your door, carefully carried to the room of your choice, unpacked, and assembled for you. The delivery team will even remove all the packaging and ensure it’s safely recycled. Each of their dressers is made with FSC-certified wood, supporting healthier forests and ecosystems worldwide.
What to buy: Quality, timeless wooden furniture
Materials: Solid Wood, Burl Veneer Dimensions: 60" W x 19" D x 30" H
With 6 deep drawers, this dresser has been made with warm-toned wood that has been kiln-dried for extra durability. In a statement swirly grain, the burl veneer adds a touch of elegance.
Materials: Solid Wood, Enamel Dimensions: 60" W x 19" D x 33" H
I love the Pierce and Ward x West Elm collaboration. There are so many beautiful home decor pieces, but the furniture is also not to be missed. This unique dresser is finished in a rich gold/yellow glossy enamel with little brass knobs and rounded edges.
Materials: Solid Wood, Marble Dimensions: 26" W x 18" D x 52" H
For something really unique, the Penelope dresser's slim, curved design adds height and is ideal for small, narrow areas. I love the mid-century modern style legs and wood tone that is finished with a contemporary solid marble top.
3. Anthropologie
Unlike lots of contemporary brands, Anthropologie stocks aren’t afraid of a little color and pattern. Several of Anthropologie’s dressers are real statement pieces, painted in rich colors, florals, or featuring unique carvings and handles.
While their strength is in style, there’s serious storage on offer if you know where to look. However, you really do have to look for it. Where other dresser retailers allow you to shop by number or depth of drawers, there are no such specialist search filters at Anthropologie. Also, you have to assemble the dressers yourself. But for the real trendsetters, this could be worth a little extra research.
What to buy: Unique statement pieces
Materials: Solid Wood Dimensions: 36" H x 38" W x 19" D
This hand-carved dresser would make a serene focal point in any bedroom, living space, or entryway. Depicting a treetop scene, this piece was inspired by a classic, romantic design, and comes in either three drawers or six.
Materials: Solid Wood, Cotton Canvas Dimensions: 33" H x 75" W x 22" D
Perhaps the most special piece of all, this isn't just a dresser but something to pass down to the family. With nine drawers of generous storage and brass hardware, this bold piece is sure to brighten up your bedroom.
Materials: Acacia veneer wood Dimensions: H 31.5", W 36", D 20"
This acacia veneer wood dresser is finished in a burnt, black hue to look like something you found in a vintage store. The three drawers won't give you loads of storage, but they're wide and deep with sweet little keyhole details.
5. Walmart
Walmart is known for its affordable and accessible home furnishing finds, so it’s no surprise that they stock some of the best value dressers on the market.
You can search for storage solutions using all the usual filters, but Walmart is the only store I’ve seen that sorts dressers by width, meaning it is so much easier to find the dresser that suits your space.
Walmart dressers have some of the highest drawer counts around – there’s even a 16-drawer dresser available that could hold an entire wardrobe. While you’ll have to assemble most yourself, each dresser comes with a detailed written instruction manual and video walkthrough.
What to buy: Affordable storage solutions with style
Materials: MDF Dimensions: 57.3" L x 15" W x 30" H
Add a touch of play to your bedroom with scallops. Here, the mid-century wood cutouts take on a Tudor-adjacent flair that’s unexpected, but highly welcome. It packs an impressive nine drawers, but comes in multiple configurations and colorways so you can tailor it to your space.
Materials: MDF Dimensions: 52" L x 17" W x 31" H
For a fuss-free, budget-friendly piece that feels more elevated than plain white, the Homfa, with its tongue and groove detailing, is a great find. It can be easily assembled in less than one hour by two adults.
Materials: Solid Wood Dimensions: 47" L x 16" W x 32" H
With seven deep and wide drawers, the real selling point of this gray vintage-style dresser is the extra-supported bottom drawers that are strong enough to hold jeans and jumpers without collapsing.
6. McGee & Co.
If you're a regular Homes & Gardens reader, then McGee & Co. will need little to no introduction. But for those fairly unfamiliar, it is a brand you'll want to get to know.
Founded by interior designer Shea McGee, who runs Studio McGee, McGee & Co. creates furnishings in Shea's signature style. There's not a huge offering, just 43 on-site currently, but what they do have is a range of shapes, sizes, styles, and unrivaled colors to pick from.
What to buy: Shea McGee's covetable style
Materials: Solid Wood Dimensions: 61" W x 18" D x 34" H
Popular as an alternative to a changing table, this soft blue dresser boasts a modern yet classic design. Adding a pop of color in a neutral room or a playful touch to a muted scheme, this is a beautiful piece.
Materials: Solid Wood Dimensions: 64" W x 21" D x 35" H
The Mackenna dresser features six really wide drawers made from white oak and with antique brass pulls. Offering a keen attention to detail, the curved front and chamfered legs make it look age-old.
Material: Solid Wood Dimensions: 62" W x 18" D x 32.25" H
With rounded, fluid edges and zero straight lines, this dresser might be black, but it is far from modern. Crafted from acacia with soft-close drawers, this is a really elegant and elevated piece.
7. Target
Target saves you scrolling by sorting the tall, vertical dressers from the wide, horizontal ones. Specialist filters narrow the search, so you can shop by drawer count or dresser size. Style and color categories are helpful, too, if only to identify what’s missing from this range. With current preferences for neutral color schemes, Target sorts by white, black, gray, and brown dressers. If you’re shopping for a brightly colored dresser, you’re better off searching elsewhere.
What to buy: Classic, simple pieces
Materials: Wood Veneer, MDF Dimensions: 32" H x 34" W x 18" D
Designed with Studio McGee for Target, this twisted-detailed dresser has been designed with Shea's expert eye but for a much more budget-friendly price. That's why I love her range for Target, a designer look for less.
Materials: Wood Dimensions: 33.1" H x 47.5" W x 18" D
Soft sage tends to behave like a mood stabilizer, which is why this dresser works so well in bedrooms and nurseries. Subtle vintage-style etchings along the border give this colorful piece a character-rich finish. Coming in at $500, it’s no wonder it’s earned a 4.6 out of 5 stars across 19 reviews.
Materials: Solid Wood, Veneer Dimensions: 33" H x 37" W x 18" D
Designed alongside Joanna Gaines for Hearth & Hand™ with Magnolia, this minimalist three-drawer has a richly organic vibe. The drawers provide plenty of room for storage, while the small profile lets you add this dresser to smaller spaces with ease.
8. IKEA
IKEA is the home of all things home furnishing. While there isn’t much flair to their 200 distinct dresser designs, there’s serious functionality. Some ready-made IKEA dressers have drawer counts in the double digits. If that’s not enough, you can assemble a modular dresser with as many drawer units as your heart desires.
Each dresser offers diverse storage options, with a combination of small and large drawers. These dressers come with an enclosed safety fitting, so they can be easily anchored to the wall. As with all IKEA furniture, though, you’ll have to assemble it yourself.
What to buy: Fuss-free flatpack
Materials: Solid Wood, Acrylic Dimensions: 63" W x 19" D x 37" H
With its classic look and clean lines – not to mention its eight drawers – it’s no surprise that Hemnes is one of IKEA’s bestselling dressers. It'll go with any interior design style, plus there are loads of ways you can jazz this up with paint or new handles.
Materials: Particleboard, Plastic Dimensions: 20" H x 31" W x 18" D
This four-drawer dresser is completely customizable. Wide, long, tall, or short: create the perfect storage solution for your space. IKEA recommends using storage boxes to organize the inside of your drawers and make sure even the smallest of items are easy to find.
Materials: Particleboard, Plastic Dimensions: 18" D x 96" W x 46" H
This dresser offers both closed and open storage. Precious items can be stored safely, while everyday essentials can be displayed for easy access. Use as a standalone piece or together with other furniture in the HAUGA series throughout the home.
9. Macy's
Macy's is a household name for a reason, and this department store has some seriously good, classic pieces. If you haven’t browsed their furniture section in a while, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by just how expansive and stylish their dresser selection is.
From timeless wood dressers that could easily pass as heirlooms to more modern silhouettes with sleek finishes, Macy’s covers a wide range of styles, sizes, and budgets. Plus, they carry major furniture brands (think Martha Stewart and Radley) as well as their own in-house lines, so it’s a great one-stop shop whether you're furnishing an entire bedroom with a matching set or just upgrading a single piece.
What to buy: Quality matching furniture sets
Materials: Solid Wood, Veneer Dimensions: 60" W x 18" D x 44" H
One of Macy's best-selling dressers, this contemporary white and gold design has loads of glowing reviews. Its gold-tone hardware and base adds a unique touch while the white remains crisp.
Materials: Rubberwood Dimensions: 69" L x 20.5" W x 35" H
The Frandlyn looks exactly as expensive as its name implies. The rounded edges, reeded texture, and almond-frost finish land somewhere between retro glam and modern ease. If you’ve got the room, order two and turn them into a very chic yours-and-theirs setup.
Materials: Wood Veneer Dimensions: 70" L x 19" W x 40" H
The Laguna furniture collection is designed using blonde-toned cherry wood that is perfect for creating a modern-meets-coastal look. The knobs are an aged-bronze hardware and every review is 5*.
Where to Buy Dressers FAQs
How should I choose the best dresser for my bedroom?
First, consider the shape and size of your bedroom. Larger rooms with more wall space can accommodate wider dressers. So a stylish double dresser might suit your main bedroom design, while a more compact vertical dresser could help with organizing a small bedroom.
Then, consider your bedroom furniture ideas, favored styles, and color palettes. An ornate European-style dresser will work well with your traditional bedroom ideas. Natural-colored wood dressers will blend beautifully into neutral bedroom ideas, but don’t be afraid to go against the grain. Decorating with primary colors in a neutral space could brighten your bedroom and boost your mood, so don’t dismiss a more colorful dresser.
A stylish double dresser is best for couples, with space for two closets in one.
Where should a dresser be placed in a bedroom?
Every bedroom is different, and so is every dresser. There are no hard and fast decoration rules. With that said, a dresser is commonly placed against the center of a wall. This placement elevates your dresser from a simple storage solution to a style feature in its own right, while leaving you plenty of space to walk around.
Can a dresser be used in a living room?
Absolutely. The right dresser can be a stylish storage solution for any space. Adding a dresser may well make the most of the space in a small living room. You could use your living room dresser to store those everyday essentials you grab before you go. Fill up your dresser with your favorite books and movies, or use it as a TV stand.
The best dressers maximize your storage space. That’s why organizing a dresser is so important – so you can keep track of your clothes and store them wrinkle-free. Organizing your dresser helps with organizing a bedroom. It’ll save you space, and declutter your mind.
