  • In this video, I'll be showing you how to build a Mid-Century Modern Dresser using construction lumber, to provide a budget friendly option. Mid-Century Modern furniture has become popular in recent years, and the demand has driven its prices up. Putting together your own DIY dresser is a fun learning experience, but also a great way to save money! A lot of important concepts are covered in this video, such as how to build drawer boxes, tabletops, how to set up drawer slides, and tapered legs.

      Thank you so much for the continued support! I had to think about how I wanted to do this one for a while haha. It was in the back of my head for like 3 months. And then it took 3 days to build it.

    How would this work as a vanity cabinet for a bathroom? I looked at cabinets for my bathroom but they were wayyy to expensive for me.

    • @MakingMadeSimple
      @MakingMadeSimple  ปีที่แล้ว

      I suppose it could work for that! My only concern would be the humidity and wet nature of the bathroom. It might affect the wood long-term. A lot of the new vanity cabinets are partially plastic and such, to help combat that.

    Should add the total cost of wood and parts to the description. Would like to know how much it would cost me to make it.

    • @MakingMadeSimple
      @MakingMadeSimple  ปีที่แล้ว

      I would, but I feel like that's very volatile at the moment. Even from the time this was built, the price of the project has changed a ton. Not to mention regional differences for lumber prices 😕

      @@sscr1p7 Sure! When I built this, it was around $150. Including the drawer slides and all. I've just been reluctant to share that number, because I feel like it's not accurate anymore. 2x4s are like $4 where I'm at, but I know they cost twice as much in some areas
