Do you mean what did it cost me to build it, or what would something
like that cost in a store?


I mean what would it cost to have it made.


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...


That's about what a Broyhill would cost, but it's not made that well. I
assume some of the posters here make furniture to order, but I never see a
link to anyone's website.


You could always ask the group...

I imagine you need to find someone close to you, shipping would be a bitch!
