Hello I was curious how much it cost to build this dresser?
Lumber costs vary by species and by your location. For me, it was about $300 including the vanity legs.
Hi! I was wondering, what color stain was used on the DIY 5 Drawer Dresser pictured with “Woodshop Diaries” in the bottom right corner? I’ve been looking for that kind of stain color, but everything I try doesn’t come close!
