If you want a dresser that will last you a long time, something that you could potentially pass on to your kids, and that won’t show a lot of wear and tear or break, you’ll probably spend close to $1000 or more. It might sound like a lot of money, but in the long run, it’s worth it. You may be able to search local flea markets, thrift stores, or antique malls for vintage items that are made with quality and need a bit of touching up. This could save you some money.
