How to Build a Mid-Century Modern Dresser--FROM 2x4s and PLYWOOD!

In this video, I'll show you how to build a mid-century modern 6 drawer dresser from 2x4s and plywood!

Dressers are literally my favorite thing to build. There are so many ways to build a box and add drawers and so many styles you can go with for it.

So, I hope you enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed building it and if you want to build one for yourself, grab the step by step tutorial here:
