What should you look for when buying a chest of drawers?
Start with space and layout. Measure where the drawers will go and leave enough clearance to pull them out comfortably. Then look at the drawer configuration. Some pieces have evenly sized drawers, while others offer a mix of deep and shallow compartments.
