Shop Top-Rated Wide Dressers ↓Why choose an extra wide solid wood dresser? If you have a large bedroom or need generous storage for clothing, linens, and accessories, a wide dresser offers the perfect balance of surface area and drawer capacity. Solid wood construction ensures durability, while the extra width provides a commanding presence and ample space for decorative styling.
What Defines an Extra Wide Dresser?
An extra wide solid wood dresser typically measures between 60 and 80 inches in width, offering significantly more storage than standard dressers (which are usually 48–54 inches wide). These dressers are ideal for master bedrooms, walk-in closets, and spacious guest rooms. The added width allows for multiple drawer columns (often 6, 8, or 9 drawers) with deep compartments, making them perfect for organizing bulky sweaters, folded jeans, and seasonal bedding.

Solid Wood Choices & Finishes
The beauty of solid wood dressers lies in their natural grain and durability. Oak offers a prominent grain and excellent strength; walnut delivers rich, dark tones; mahogany provides a classic, reddish-brown hue; and pine offers a lighter, more affordable option. Popular finishes include natural wood, dark espresso, white, gray, and black. For a modern twist, consider dark wood with gold hardware.

Place an extra wide dresser against the longest wall to anchor the room. Top with a large mirror, table lamps, and curated decor. Pair with matching nightstands for a cohesive look. For a dramatic effect, choose a black dresser with soft-close drawers.
