Good Questions: What Dresser Will Work in My Bedroom?

Hi all, I have finally moved past my college furniture days but need some help finding a low dresser for my new bedroom set. I have two Crate and Barrel nightstands but since then, they have been discontinued...

...I am looking for a dresser similar to Room and Board's Anders but am keeping my options open. Do you have any suggestions on which dresser will work in my bedroom? Thanks!

-Rosa

Anyone?

Are you holding out on the Anders because of cost? If so, I'd scope out the mid century modern vintage shops in your area. You could probably find something with that Danish look for much less.

I agree w/ ValHalla -
Do some Craigslist hunting - There's something vintage out there that will be perfect for you.

here's something -- an Edward Wormley dresser (or more...)

Although I'm a little weary of the quality and I think it's priced too high, this Ty Pennington 6-drawer dresser is kinda cool:

I'd definitely check craigslist. I actually have a dresser that would fit those nightstands.

I'm in the reverse predicament...I need two nightstands to complement my dresser!! My lamps are lonely on the floor :(
