Building with Rayan's plan was so simple.
Since buying 1/4″ Walnut or Teak were out of my budget, I got creative and used Ikea Decking Tiles to create the Herringbone drawer fronts. I made modifications to make the dresser taller and longer. The paint and wood combination was inspired by Rayan's Sketch Up drawing. You can visit my blog for a very thorough tutorial on how I built this dresser. http://www.thepursuitofhandyness.com/diy-herringbone-chest-reveal/
$150 if you use the cheaper Euro Slides.
2 days to build but a week to finish.
I modified my dresser/chest to 40″w x 34″h x 18″d. This required modifications of every board. I also built my drawer boxes of 1/2″ plywood and secured with pocket holes in the front so that they will be hidden by the drawer fronts.
Birch Hardwood Plywood
Solid Acacia
Pine 1×3
Paint and Polyurethane on the carcass and Tung oil on the drawer fronts.
