I wanted to build something that i could sell for a decent profit. i figured kid's furniture would be the best option because it can be made out of cheap plywood, doesn't need to match the decor and can just be painted a bright color, and it doesn't have to be the best craftsmanship.

i designed them myself using sketchup. yes they are crooked. they're supposed to be crooked. that's what makes them cool. (and hopefully more expensive.) pretty easy to build once i got all the dimensions dialled in. they're heavy, but solid.

dresser is a standard kid's dresser size. approx 46" wide, 16" deep, and 30" tall. mirror frame is 38" high, 28" wide. nightstands are around 2' tall, 14.5 deep. with one being 18" wide and the other 13" wide.

i used 5/8" mdf. with the drawers and drawer fronts made out of 1/2" mdf. cheap drawer slides. mirror is just a cheap one from home depot that i built the frame around.

mirror is turned backwards in the pics because i didn't pretty myself up. and new account because the pics will make me doxxable, but i still wanted to show you guys.

I like building things that are different from what you can buy in a store. Usually it's just finding cool things online, and then taking 2 or 3 of those things and mixing them together.

With these, the idea was a dresser that's tilting to the side. Because that would just look neat for a kid's dresser. Knobs can look like eyeballs. So there's the idea for the face. Then I saw some drawers somewhere that didn't have handles. Instead the top of the drawer front was bevelled, so you open by putting your hand behind the drawer front and pulling. So that's how the mouths were supposed to originally open. That didn't really work. But it gave me the idea for the oversized and weird shaped drawer fronts.

But yeah, I'm rambling. It's just taking a bunch of ideas and kinda smashing them together. This was my first project fully made on Sketchup instead of drawing it out on paper. So I was able to go a little overboard on the angles and still be able to build it relatively easily.

But thanks. It's nice to hear that other people like it.
