No matter what their storage and decorative needs are, with some knowledge and planning, buyers can find the right one for themselves.

Here are a few things to look out for when shopping for a budget chest of drawers.

Size Before shopping for a chest of drawers, buyers should measure their bedroom for its precise dimensions, and then assess the approximate amount of space they would like the chest of drawers to occupy, including height, width, and depth. If planning to place the dresser in a corner, check that any doors allow enough space when opened. You should also take into account what you want to be using the chest of drawers for. If you plan on storing bulky items like bedding and towels in it, then look for a set with deep draws that you can all the way into the back off. If it's just for small bits like underwear and sock and so on, then a smaller chest of drawers will be more than perfect.

Style The style of a chest of drawers should match up with the decorative style of the bedroom as a whole. Chest of drawers styles can be divided into a few basic categories, traditional, contemporary, modern, and country.

Traditional chest of drawers can either be from the past, or new chest of drawers inspired by styles from the past. They usually go for a European design from the 17th to the 19th Century. They usually feature intricate designs, architectural flourishes, and detailed carvings in deep, rich wood tones. Traditional-style chest of drawers often have a stately, elegant appearance that goes well with other formal, traditional furnishings.

Contemporary chest of drawers feature clean, geometric lines, and are usually free of added ornamentation. They tend to be in light or medium wood tones with knobs and design features in metal, ceramic, or stone. Contemporary chest of drawers have an uncluttered appearance for a calm, light, decorative mood. These work very well with a minimalist look.

Modern design refers to the design trends emerging in the second half of the 20th century. This is when machinery made it easier to make intricate designs for mass production. Modern furniture often features asymmetrical lines and sleek surfaces that place emphasise on form and function, without added decoration. The neat appearance of modern chest of drawers can add a stylish touch to simple, neutral bedroom designs.

Country-style chest of drawers are rustic in appearance, inspired by the natural elements of the countryside. They usually feature natural wood finishes, and can be casually simple or carved with craftsman-style detail.

Material The type of material that a chest of drawers set in can affect the price massively. A chest of drawers can come in a variety of materials, wood is most common, but manufactured wood and veneer are also widely used and offer a cheaper chest of drawers alternative. Wood is the sturdiest material, however, and, for buyers who can afford it, a solid wood chest of drawers will last longer than manufacture wood alternatives and also look far better. In that sense, while wood is a larger investment, it is usually better value for money.

Wood chest of drawers may be from hardwood or softwood trees. Different species of wood have different qualities, and vary in durability and appearance. Teak, mahogany, and cedar are frequently used for dressers because they are naturally resistant to rot and moisture damage like mould. Because of their durability, however, these woods tend to cost more. If purchasing a chest of drawers in a less expensive wood, such as pine, buyers should ensure that the wood has been treated to resist rot and damage. Another big plus is that wood can also be stained or painted to match the look and colour scheme of your bedroom. However make sure to get a flawless finish, or get a professional to do this as any mistakes will be glaringly obvious.

Manufactured wood chest of drawers are made from recycled wood that has been compressed together using heat and glue. Medium density fibreboard, or MDF, is a strong material that is generally less expensive than solid wood. Often, MDF dressers have a wood veneer finish to create the look of real wood. Some of these can have a real quality look about them, but some of the cheap chest of drawers with a veneer finish can look a little cheap.

These are the main things to consider when buying a chest of drawers. Other things that are worth thinking about are whether you want a chest of drawers with a mirror on top. The top of a chest of drawers is a convenient place for a bedroom mirror, and many chest of drawers include mirrors and frames. The mirror should be proportionate to the size of the dresser and complement the rest of the room's decor. Adding a mirror also gives a room a more spacious feel.

Also worth doing when looking for a cheap set of drawers is setting a budget and sticking to it. It can be easy to go over budget on an item like this as there are so many models and it can easy to see ones for only a few £'s more that you like better.
