I can’t wait to get started on this credenza like piece of furniture I just picked up for my entryway. I say credenza like because i really don’t know what makes something a credenza vs a fancy dresser….but anyway it doesn’t have legs and I really want to get some put on to keep some elevation off our floor. We just had a crew over here resurfacing the wood floor and even though they were awesome and friendly, I don’t want to deal with that again for a long time haha. Thank you for sharing.

I think this dresser was either 5.5 feet or 6 feet long. You can always add a middle support just in case!

When out and about for whatever-if I spot furniture on the curb: I always stop and check it out. I have gotten several sets of nice , quality feet for free. If I don’t need them for a project right away I still get them. All you do is unscrew them, throw them in the car, and drive away!!! I save money which is the name of the game. I then just purchase the brackets, and paint them and place on the piece of furniture.

I’m sorry I don’t have them anymore.

I have the same one (two tone purple paint job) but one of the handles is broken and I cannot find one anywhere.

How long is your dresser? I’m in the process of updating a buffet and I’d like to add 4″ feet/legs and I’m trying to decide if I need centre support or not.

I didn’t add anything, but you certainly can add some support! There is usually a piece of wood in the middle that you could attach your support leg to. Or you can add a board if there isn’t one.

I have a vintage dresser I am refurbishing that looks very close to this one and I want to add feet. I’m concerned with it possibly sagging in the middle as it’s a pretty heavy dresser. Did you add anything to the middle of the underside for additional support?

The paint color was a custom mix and I used a brown glaze. I’m planning on writing a blog about it soon with more details!
