Hey friends, I'm back to the matching bedroom furniture series--this time sharing the final piece, the dresser!
*This video was sponsored by The Home Depot as part of the ProSpective program.

Dressers are my favorite project to build and I scaled this one down to keep it simple. It's a perfect size for a small bedroom, and entryway, or could even make a great oversized nightstand as well.

Grab the project details and tutorial on the blog here: woodshopdiaries.com/how-to-build-a-simple-3-drawer-dresser

And grab the printable building plans here: woodshop-diaries.myshopify.com/collections/dressers/products/simple-3-drawer-dresser

In this video, you'll see the Ryobi ONE+ 18V HP Drill and Driver in action. These are my favorite go tos for the shop and if you haven't checked out the new line of Ryobi HP tools, head over to  @The Home Depot  to see them for yourself! #THDProSpective
