Do guests even use dressers?

Jon Martin

I know I never do. Looking through listings recently I've noticed that a lot of them don't have dressers, and if they do you can tell it's mostly decorative because they don't look very useful (short/shallow drawers, minimal space etc). 

I ask because IMO dressers are by far the hardest thing to shop for that checks all the boxes (quality slides, deep drawers, looks nice) without breaking the bank, which multiplied by several bedrooms can really add up. Plus they take up a lot of floor space and thus have to be coordinated with bed placement, doors, windows etc and greatly affect movement flow. 

With that- anyone forgoing dressers altogether? Anyone get a bad review for not having them? I do see some listings having fold-up suitcase racks instead as a compromise. I've somewhat committed to the idea of 3 drawer chests in place of nightstands on each side of the bed, but even those are not cheap and don't save you that much compared to 2 nightstands plus a shared dresser per room. Curious to hear any feedback.
