Many people do not know the difference between a cherry wood dresser and a mahogany dresser. Cherry wood is just that it comes from a cherry tree. The wood is actually brown in color and has a touch of red to it. If you stand back from the cherry wood you can actually see the red in the wood much better. Cherry wood is considered one of the darker woods that the furniture is made with.

A cherry wood dresser comes in many different styles and shapes. First you will have to decide if you want light or dark cherry wood. One thing to keep in mind when coming to your decision is over the years this wood tends to darken. Now you are ready to decide how many drawers you would like the dresser to have.

There is a seven drawer dresser that has three full size drawers on one side, then two full size drawers on the other side with two small drawers above them. If that is too many drawers then there is a six drawer dresser. This has three full size drawers on each side. If that is still just too big then you could get a three drawer dresser. This has only three drawers that are as long as the dresser. If you like to admire yourself in the mirror then you could also get these dressers with a vertical or oval mirror attached to them.
