It feature traditional joinery including mortise and tenon from the case frame, frame & panel ends and dovetails on the dividers and drawers. Great attention was given to the wood grain to achieve a uniform, pleasing look. The drawer bottoms are made of aromatic cedar for its light weight and smell.

Design Options
If you are interesting in this piece, consider these options for customizing it to meet your needs:
Dressers may be made with a variety of styles from modern, to traditional. You may choose a design that matches your rooms aesthetics.
Almost any species of wood is a viable option for a dresser with the main consideration being the color and aesthetics you desire. This is a high traffic piece of furniture so I would recommend a hardwood as the primary wood with secondary woods such as pine or poplar for the internal components.
You may also consider the interior finish. This dresser features cedar drawer bottoms, but you may choose a simple secondary wood like pine or even plywood to save on cost. You may also consider lining the interior of the top drawers with flocking to store delicate clothing.
