If you want to find a great dresser that fits in with your modern bedroom decor but aren’t sure where to start, you came to the right place. Because there are so many different modern designs out there to choose from, we researched some of the best brands and highest rated items to put together this modern dresser review. Before we get started, here are some key features to consider before you shop.
Drawers: How many drawers you need depends on a few things. Is this dresser just for you? Will you be sharing it with someone? Most of these dressers come with six drawers but there are some with more if you need them.
Size: Make sure you know how much space you have before you decide on a dresser. Don’t worry, we found a nice variety of sizes so whether you need something small or large, we got you covered.
Finish: While not all of these dressers are made of wood, a lot of them do have wood finishes, usually from using a veneer. You’ll also find some that are white, black, or even have a mix of finishes.
Drawer Pulls: Some of these dressers have simple notches cut out of the top of the drawers instead of using drawer pulls. But, if you think a drawer pull adds a little something, there are a lot of options to choose from.
Material: Most of the dressers we chose are made of a combination of wood, veneers, and MDF. If you’re looking for something that’s going to last a long time, wood is your best bet. Choose something durable that suits your needs.
Warranty: Most of these products have warranties that last between 1 and 5 years, though there are a few that are for a shorter time. That’s not all, we also found one product guaranteed for a lifetime.

The best dresser on our list is the Rivet Mid-Century Leonard Dresser. This design has clean lines and a bit of a masculine feel. The top and sides of the dresser are finishes in rich, dark birch while the front of the drawers is covered in walnut veneer. The two-tone effect is accentuated even more by the brass drawer pulls. The legs are quite tall and made of the same dark birch as the top and sides. That’s not all, there are also thick brass accents at the feet that add a little bit of an industrial feel. Assembly is really easy, all you have to do is screw on the legs. This dresser comes with a 30 day free return policy as well as a 1-year warranty.
Another really awesome dresser for clothes is the Mid-Century Rubber Wood Dresser. To be perfectly honest, this is the most unique design that we found in our research. Why do we say that? This dresser has eight drawers and they’re finished in a variety of different wood finish veneers. Some are pine, some are oak, some are walnut. It’s an interesting effect that mixes a very modern idea with the look of natural wood. The top and sides are white and the drawer handles are long, thin antiqued bronze bars to add some simplicity. There are four large bottom drawers, two small square drawers in the upper corners, and two long, thin drawers that fill in the remaining top space. The different sizes really help with organization.
The Stone & Beam Glenwood Dresser is a really gorgeous wooden dresser that has a bit of an industrial feel. It’s made of solid hardwood with oak veneer that looks great against the thin rectangular copper-colored drawer pulls. The surface has been wire-brushed to give it a worn, aged look. Another awesome thing about this dresser is how the legs are designed. This dresser rests on a metal frame which turns up the industrial vibe even a little more. The metal matches that of the drawer pulls which makes a really cohesive look. This dresser has six self-closing drawers that use concealed ball-bearing extension glides for smooth opening and closing. They pull out pretty far, too, so you can see what’s all the way in the back of your drawers.
