Dressers with Shallow Dimensions: 17” - 19” Deep


In a smaller bedroom, every inch of floor space is prime real estate. That’s where shallow dressers come to the rescue! With their slim designs, they offer endless placement possibilities—no more worrying about blocking walking paths or closet doors.

Countryside compiled our favorite shallow dressers, all with depths of 19” or less. However, we also encourage you to explore our full inventory. 

View our broad assortment of dressers and chests of drawers, and use the filters to find the design that fits your space. We also offer comprehensive real-wood bedroom sets to help you find coordinating storage solutions. 

Most furniture makers consider 17-18" the standard minimum depth for bedroom dressers and tall chests of drawers, ensuring both stability and practical storage space. 

Please know, Countryside Amish Furniture makes every piece to order, allowing one-of-a-kind design modifications—if you need a dresser with shallower dimensions than what’s offered, our team will work one-on-one with you to fulfill your request!
