Example dresser listing

Six-Drawer Wood Dresser — 58 Inches Wide

Six-drawer dresser measuring 58 by 18 by 32 inches. All drawers open and close; drawers remove for transport. Top has surface scratches shown. Anti-tip strap is not included.

Replace every detail with facts you verified. Never reuse a model, measurement, test result, or condition claim that does not apply to your item.

Plan a safe, clear handoff

Disclose weight, removable drawers, stairs, and that the buyer should secure the dresser to a wall after moving.

Meet in an appropriate location, keep payment terms clear, and do not make unsupported safety or working-condition claims.

Where to sell your dresser

Dresser selling questions

How much should I ask for dresser?

Start with comparable local listings for the same or closest model, then adjust for material, construction, maker, and size, drawer operation and structural condition, finish wear and included anti-tip hardware. ListNestly's Price Advisor can help organize those confirmed factors without claiming a live market average.

What photos should I take of dresser?

Include front, sides, top, back, and underside, all drawers open and interiors, slides, handles, labels, and joinery. Add clear close-ups of every defect rather than relying on a vague condition label.

What problems should I disclose?

Disclose anything known or observed, especially sticky, broken, or missing drawers and loose handles, veneer chips, or water damage. Say exactly what you checked and identify anything you did not test.

What information belongs in the listing?

Include dimensions and drawer count, known material and weight, drawer operation and defects, plus honest pickup or delivery expectations.

Should I offer delivery?

Offer delivery only if you can do it safely and describe the fee, distance, unloading help, and timing clearly. Disclose weight, removable drawers, stairs, and that the buyer should secure the dresser to a wall after moving.
