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.

Yeah, that guy makes some amazing stuff. But he's using $5k slabs and turning them into $20k tables.

Me, I'm taking $150 worth of MDF and hopefully turning it into $1k worth of colorful kid's furniture.

But you're right. I could probably find a company to crate and ship stuff like this for me. And it wouldn't cost all that much. There are probably people out there who would be happy to pay it.
