I want a Welsh Dresser

I need something for my kitchen, storage wise and a dresser, about 5ft, would fit by the side of the chimney.
I think I'd have to get a second hand one as they are expensive new?

  • Try Freecycle, local newspaper classified ads and any charity shops near you that sell furniture. Also ask local council if there are any furniture recycling schemes nearby which may have something you could use. Be prepared to renovate anything suitable to suit your colour scheme. Dark brown furniture is usually the cheapest and can be sanded/stained/painted etc to suit.

    have a look on ebay via https://www.localbargainfinder.co.uk remember some people advertise things without the obvious keywords.

    http://shop.ebay.co.uk/items/__dresser_W0QQQ5ftrkparmsZ66Q253A4Q257C65Q253A7Q257C39Q253A1QQ_scZ1QQ_sopZ7QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14?_stpos=ST6%203AA&_fcid=3&gbr=1
    i put in a localish postcode for you after googling your area bring down the search by looking in home and garden and the antiques section thats where they all are. I only put in dresser to give best results.
