Do you mean what did it cost me to build it, or what would something like that
cost in a store?
To start with, I didn't build the mirror, it's from the old dresser I had, as
were the feet. I cut them down a bit and re-stained them a bit more red. This
dresser is 10" narrower than the old one, and about 10" higher. It holds more
clothes by far due to design.
I used second grade pine, so the wood was around $100. The drawer slides and
pulls are Hettich and also cost around $100. Stain and Varathane about $35.
To buy it in a store, solid pine, I'd guess $800 or more...
