Hey friends, let's build a 9 drawer dresser! You may (or may notthat's fine, too!) remember a few months ago, I shared a matching bedroom furniture collection that included a 6 drawer dresser.

In that video, I mentioned that I wished I had made that a 9 drawer dresser instead of a 6 and several of you said I should just build another one.

So...here we are :) Let's try this again. I'm always more than happy to build another dresser (they are, after all, my favorite projects).

I hope you enjoy watching this one come together and get some glimpses into how design details played into the building process.
