How to Pick a Well-Made Used Dresser

There's a ten-second test for a used dresser: pull a drawer all the way out and look at the corners. Interlocking dovetail joints and a solid bottom panel mean the case was built properly. Stapled corners and a thin sheet bottom mean it wasn't. That single check tells you more about how long a dresser will last than the finish or the brand name will.

One thing worth planning for, whichever dresser you buy, new or secondhand: anchor it to the wall. A tall chest is the one piece of bedroom furniture with a real tip-over risk if a child climbs the open drawers, and an anti-tip kit costs a few dollars. Affordable dressers in Austin are easy enough to find; securing one takes five minutes.
