Before buying a new, affordable dresser, first check the material it’s made of. The highest quality dressers are usually made of solid and/or engineered wood. These include plywood, hardwood, and high or medium density fiberboard (HDF or MDF).
These will typically last longer and develop fewer scratches than dressers with less durable materials, such as particle board. Metal dressers are generally reliable, too, assuming they match your aesthetic.
If you can see the dresser in-person, such as at a garage sale, run your hand over the surface to feel for bubbles. High-quality dressers should feel smooth and flat inside and out. Also, double-check that the dresser is on a flat surface and whether it wobbles when you touch it. Make sure there isn’t any cracking at the bottom or around the dresser's feet. Test all the drawers to guarantee they open easily.
The best time to find affordable dressers under $300 is typically during the late summer or late winter, including in March, April, July, and August. This is based on demand and shifts in seasonal inventories. Stores will mark down furniture to make room for new seasonal items, which typically arrive throughout the spring and autumn.
Many furniture stores will tie these clearance sales into holidays, such as Easter, Independence Day, and Labor. However, you can still usually find good — if not better — deals in the weeks between the holidays.
For example, furniture is generally in its lowest demand in April. This means you may find better deals from stores trying to attract sales.
You can typically find cheap dressers near you at department and furniture stores, such as IKEA and Ashley Furniture. You may discover decent used options at thrift stores and other locations, though you should always double-check their quality.
If you want more choices, the best place to find affordable dressers is online. Online retailers, such as furniture.com, Wayfair, and Pottery Barn, offer various, high-quality bedroom dressers to fit your needs. This way, you won’t have to settle for a color, size, or drawer combination you’re not happy with simply because that’s the one in stock.
Furniture.com saves you the hassle of browsing each store’s inventory. Instead, use our Deal Finder tool to find the best furniture promotions and prices near you, whether you want to ship your dresser or pick it up in person.
