In addition to the type of wood, you will have to select a finish for your infant's nursery dresser. Darker finishes are ideal for modern and contemporary themes, as well as for baby boys. Lighter finishes work best for a classic or traditional appeal and are ideal for baby girls. Here are some popular finishes to choose from:
* Mocha
* White
* Walnut
* Mahogany
* Espresso

Choosing a Style
Dressers come in many different styles, so think about how you will be using your child's dresser in the long run — is it meant to last through the teenage years? Will your little one be sharing his or her dresser with a sibling? Are you limited on space or need extra storage? Some combo dressers also feature extra storage by adding storage towers and decorative baskets underneath. Some dressers are tall and feature deep drawers that pull all the way out, ideal for storing lots of seasonal clothes. Others have painted drawers and handles that go along with a unique theme, while others have contoured legs and edges.
