The right dresser is a stylish storage solution. It’s up there with the best space-saving ideas. A dresser should be a natural extension of your wardrobe, storing shoes, accessories, and all those foldable items that can’t be hung.
There’s a dresser to suit every bedroom, no matter its square footage. But with so many styles and size options, and so many retailers to research, it can be difficult to find the best places to buy bedroom furniture.
That’s why I’ve done all the hard work for you. I’m a shopping writer, and I’ve spent hours scouring the sites of the top home furniture brands to bring you the very best dressers.
From tallboys to double dressers, ornate elegance to cutting-edge contemporary design: these top brands have it all.

Wayfair’s range of home furniture is unparalleled, and their bedroom furniture collection is no exception. A simple search for ‘dressers and chests’ yields over 16,000 results. Luckily, there are plenty of specialist filters to narrow the selection. You can shop by color, price, 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.

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 which will complement most interiors. Style aside, one of West Elm’s biggest selling points is their 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.

Unlike lots of contemporary brands, Anthropologie stocks aren’t afraid of a little color. Several of Anthropologie’s dressers are real statement pieces, painted in olive green and sky blue. 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.

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. It’s that much easier to find the dresser that suits your space. Walmart dressers have some of the highest drawer counts around – there’s a 16-drawer dresser below which could hold an entire wardrobe. While you’ll have to assemble it yourself, each dresser comes with a detailed written instruction manual and video walkthrough.

Beds are their speciality, but Apt2B knows a thing or two about storage solutions. Deep drawers and natural materials characterize these dressers, which have been built to last. While they are on the more expensive side, you can snag yourself a quality dresser for less when you take advantage of Apt2B’s regular clearance sales. They also offer completely free delivery on every order. Consider their hassle-free 100-day return policy, too, and it’s clear that Apt2B are committed to simplifying your shopping search.

Thuma specializes in mindfully made furniture to suit bedrooms of all sizes. At first glance, Thuma’s offering seems small. There is only one style of dresser – The Dresser – but it comes in eight different shapes and sizes. The drawers can be stacked to create both vertical and horizontal dressers, so you can create the storage option that suits you. The Dresser comes in soothing shades of walnut, caramel, espresso, and gray. Each dresser has been handcrafted from 100% upcycled wood, with all its natural variation, to create a piece that’s unique to you. Just one drawback: you’ll have to assemble it yourself.

CB2 stocks some of the most affordable dressers on the market, but that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice quality for cost. Crate & Barrel’s sister brand is known for its cutting-edge, clean-line designs, and this dresser collection is no exception. Their site has a super helpful related search function, allowing you to quickly navigate from ‘dresser’ to ‘gray dresser’, ‘lacquer dresser’, or even a whole ‘dresser set’. CB2 makes searching for the right dresser easy. They can simplify assembly, too, with an optional setup service: just bear in mind the extra cost.

You can store your clothing, linen, shoes, and accessories in any of these dressers, and display your favorite trinkets on top, all for the space of a few square feet. You’ll have to allow two to four weeks for delivery, though, and some time to assemble your dresser once it comes.

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.

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.

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.
