Hi,
Having grown up in the age of Ikea, it's hard to make the transition to pay for "real furniture." We had one dresser set that we bought when DD was born (from ikea of course), but it died within a year and everyone I know who had that exact dresser had the same problem.
So, this time we'd like to get a nicer dresser that will get her through most of her youth.
It should be white, and at least 5 drawers...
What do you think a good price range is for this? Looking around it seems the real wood stuff starts at $500 and goes way up from there. The composite stuff is from $100 and up...We saw one we liked at Ikea for $250 -but don't want to throw down any more dough their way except for 50 cent hot dogs!
Any tips appreciated!
