Six-Drawer Dresser

This cherry dresser features classic design with dovetail joinery, solid wood frame, and simple plywood case for easy construction.

Complete your bedroom suite with this elegant six-drawer dresser woodworking plan, designed to match the popular heirloom bed and bedside table from the same collection. With timeless details and a surprisingly straightforward construction process, this dresser delivers both style and storage in one satisfying build.

At the heart of the design is a strong yet simple plywood case that houses six spacious drawers. Built for durability, each drawer features classic half-blind dovetail joinery. The case fits securely within a solid wood frame constructed from two slatted end panels and joined by gracefully curved stretchers.

The dresser showcases signature design elements from the set, including thick corner posts with decorative tapered feet, three-piece solid wood end panels, and a curved lower front rail. A hardwood-trimmed top completes the refined look, making this dresser a beautiful addition to any bedroom.

Though the finished piece is substantial in size, the step-by-step plan breaks the build down into manageable stages. Using a blend of plywood for efficiency and cherry hardwood for beauty and strength, this project strikes the perfect balance between traditional craftsmanship and builder-friendly design.
