Wow, You must be a proud man with home built new furniture.
Very nice addition and like the patterns use, the decorative turnings,
beaded work and shelving......very nice.

great guitar.

What does it cost to buy something like that?

Do you mean what did it cost me to build it, or what would something like that
cost in a store?

To start with, I didn't build the mirror, it's from the old dresser I had, as
were the feet. I cut them down a bit and re-stained them a bit more red. This
dresser is 10" narrower than the old one, and about 10" higher. It holds more
clothes by far due to design.

I used second grade pine, so the wood was around $100. The drawer slides and
pulls are Hettich and also cost around $100. Stain and Varathane about $35.

To buy it in a store, solid pine, I'd guess $800 or more...

I mean what would it cost to have it made.

That's about what a Broyhill would cost, but it's not made that well. I
assume some of the posters here make furniture to order, but I never see a
link to anyone's website.

You could always ask the group...

I imagine you need to find someone close to you, shipping would be a bitch!
