I'm in the market for a new dresser because my current one is falling apart. I'm looking for something sturdy and affordable, ideally under $200. Is it worth it to buy one from Amazon, or are there better options out there? What do you all think?

If you have access to Facebook Marketplace, you should definitely give that a look before buying new. Lots of folks give away furniture for free or sell it at a low price. Just be cautious about measurements if you’re looking for something specific!
Buying a dresser from Amazon can be hit or miss. The quality varies since they don't manufacture the items themselves. If you insist on going that route, read the reviews thoroughly and look for real customer images. But honestly, places like IKEA might offer better options if you have one nearby. They have solid wood pieces that last pretty long too!
IKEA has definitely worked for me in the past. Solid choices!
Good point about the reviews! Some things on Amazon are just junk.
Honestly, I'd recommend checking out thrift stores for a solid wood dresser. You can often find much better quality furniture for less. Plus, if you pick something a bit dated, you can always replace the knobs to give it a fresh look!
Totally agree! I’ve found some real gems at thrift shops.
That's a great idea! I've seen some amazing finds at thrift stores.
Yeah, for sure! I’ve gotten way better deals on used furniture online.
