Max and Lily Scandinavian 3-Drawer Dresser

The Max & Lily Scandinavian 3-Drawer Dresser is the compact chest in the collection, sized for a room where a six-drawer piece would swallow the wall. Three drawers is roughly a season of clothes for one child, which makes it the right dresser for a small bedroom, a shared room where each kid gets their own chest, or a closet that already handles the hanging clothes.

Knot-free solid wood

The dresser is built from knot-free solid pine and aspen, not particleboard or veneer over MDF. That distinction shows up in a dresser faster than in almost any other piece of kids’ furniture: particleboard drawer boxes sag under folded denim and give out at the corners after a couple of moves. The sleek silhouette and angled feet keep the piece looking light even when it is holding a full wardrobe.

How it earns its floor space

• Three drawers, deep enough for folded clothes rather than only socks and pyjamas
• A clear top that works as a lamp surface, a spot for a mirror, or a landing zone for the day’s pile
• A neutral finish that reads as toddler furniture at four and as teen furniture at fourteen

Six finishes

Choose White, Blonde, Black, Pecan, White and Blonde two-tone, or Blonde and Black two-tone. All six are shared with the Scandinavian beds and nightstands, so the dresser can either match the bed exactly or sit against it as a deliberate contrast.

Finish, assembly and shipping

Max & Lily finishes the piece with a clean, low-VOC coating. The dresser arrives flat-packed with easy-to-read instructions, hardware and the tools required, and it is heavy to move because it is solid wood. It ships Canada-wide from Bedsmart, and returns are handled here in Canada rather than sent back across the border.
