Heres a great project for do-it-yourselfers who are tired of that old bedroom furniture. The three-piece set features a handsome oak finish and clean lines that blend well with any decor. The finished dresser measures about 60 inches wide by 32 inches tall, the chest of drawers stands 32 inches high by 30 inches wide and the nightstand is about 20 inches wide by 22 inches tall. All three pieces are 16 inches deep.

*Due to varied stock sizes available, knot patterns and defects in lumber, it is impossible to give actual board sizes. Be sure to check longest lengths of finished boards when considering lumber to purchase. **See Figure 3.
NOTES
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Read manufacturers instructions before operating equipment. Always wear safety glasses. We used oak for this project, but pine or birch will work equally well. Edge-gluing may be required to achieve the necessary width of some pieces. When using finish nails on oak, drill pilot holes in the boards to be nailed. The drawer was designed for drawer guides that require 1/2 of clearance on both sides. The project as pictured was stained with a medium oak color.
