Pine dressers are antique pieces of furniture that came about in the early years meant for storing and keeping items safe and dry.

They are beautifully designed from pine wood with tints of paint and artistically carved designs. Known as a commode around Europe, the dressers usually consist of two small drawers and two to three large ones below, depending on the size there could be more or less.

What makes this particular piece of furniture different from the rest is that it is made from pine wood which is actually unique enough for you to distinguish with the naked eye. Being a cost effective material, it has rough and uneven grains with swirls and knots in random places of the wood. Whereas more expensive wood would be of fine grains and even surfaces which is just boring. Pine dressers are such treasures because of its noticeable so called flaws hence the name knotty pines.

Pine dressers can last a long time because of the quality of the wood. When it comes to buying, if you want to know the age of the item, you don’t need to be an expert because it really is easy to tell. All you need is to pay attention to certain features. For instance, pieces with rough cut edges and without perfect circle saw marks are those made before 1860 because those are hand carved ones before the mechanisms came around. Drawers in old pieces had no nails and the legs of the furniture wouldn’t be even because it never followed measurements back in the days.

Pine dressers are indeed what I would call a good buy. Not only does it last very long without needing to be replaced, it adds a tinge of class to your rooms and can easily fall in place if you’re going for themes like antique, elegance, rustic and so on.

Your home will never be same again once you have pine dressers. Try it…………..
