Anders 10-drawer chest at Room & Board
Inundated by the signs of mass-production at every turn makes us have that much more respect and admiration for the hand-made. And when we get that type of 'slow design movement' quality from a national brand store, we develop a serious soft spot...
Vermont Furniture Designs has been hand producing solid wood beds and dressers for Room & Board for over 20 years. The firm itself has been in the business of woodworking for over 35 years and takes pride in the fact that they don't use computers but rely on the look and feel of the wood to measure and produce a piece of furniture.
Room & Board chose Vermont Furniture Designs to create the George Nakashima influenced Anders line because their craftsmen are able to master great details like the continuous board drawer fronts and the mortise-and-tenon joinery. And Room & Board prides themselves on their relationships with skilled producers and that 80% of all of Room & Board's product is manufactured in the United States.
It's nice to buy something that you know is going to last and keep looking great. And yes, something that has had a lot of contact with humans even before it reaches your bedroom.

what does the "sponsored by room and board" logo at the bottom of this post mean? that AT was paid specifically for this post? or that they give AT money in general?

I just got my Anders bed in walnut last week and couldn't be happier. It's our first major purchase of "grown-up" furniture for our apartment and we love it. And no, I'm not being paid by R&B to say this :) Now it just needs that 10 drawer dresser to keep it company! Maybe in another life ...

I love the 10 dresser. We have an older Storehouse sleigh bed that doesn't really go with our more modern style that we have grown into. Since we don't have the money now to get a new bedset completely, I am hoping to find a beautiful simple dresser that would not clash with the sleigh bed but enhance it.
Any ideas where to find a dresser similar to the 10 drawer, but less expensive?

I have the Anders bed, nightstands and dresser in my guest room. LOVE IT, and so do my house guests.
