How to Make a Small Dresser with Drawers

I am so excited to share this project with you! It is a simple and easy DIY dresser with 3 drawers. It is the perfect size that can also work as a nightstand which is where it will live in our home. 

The overall design is simple and minimalistic but I decided to give it a little twist with the patterned veneer!

Make all the cuts and pocket holes per the plans and build the box and the drawers. This is quite straightforward. Just be sure to check for square at every single step.
