How deep is the average dresser drawer?
1 Answer
How deep the average dresser drawer is depends on the size of the dresser. The depth of dresser drawers ranges from approximately 14 or 15 inches to around 20 inches. The depth of drawers in larger dressers may exceed 20 inches. A dresser’s drawers will typically be deeper than those in a chest of drawers.
So, what makes a chest of drawers different from a common dresser? Dressers are short, and chests of drawers are overall taller pieces of furniture that typically do not have room on the top for a mirror as most dressers do.
Antique and vintage dressers are a staple in any household. Whether it’s a 19th-century solid pine or oak Welsh kitchen dresser you’re using to store tableware or a Broyhill Brasilia highboy in your bedroom, these furniture fixtures are essential for making the most of your space.
