Panang Dresser – Solid Wood 10-Drawer Storage | Acme Furniture
Our Panang Dresser brings timeless elegance and serious storage capacity to your bedroom. With 10 full-extension drawers crafted from solid acacia wood, this piece offers ample space for clothing, linens, and accessories while serving as a stunning focal point.
We designed the Panang with hand-applied gray weathered finish that highlights the wood’s natural grain, paired with antique brass cup pulls that add vintage charm. The generous top surface provides display space for lamps, photos, or decorative items, while dovetail drawer construction ensures decades of reliable use.

Solid Wood Construction & Finish Details
We build every Panang Dresser from solid acacia wood, chosen for its exceptional strength and beautiful grain patterns. Acacia ranks among the most durable hardwoods available, naturally resistant to warping and cracking even in varying humidity conditions.
Our craftsmen apply a multi-step gray weathered finish by hand, creating subtle variations that make each dresser unique. This finish technique brings out the wood’s character while providing a protective layer that resists daily wear. The soft gray tone complements both traditional and contemporary bedroom styles, pairing beautifully with our Panang Bed and Panang Nightstand for a cohesive look.
10-Drawer Storage System
The Panang’s 10-drawer configuration maximizes vertical storage without overwhelming your floor space. We arranged the drawers in two columns of five, creating a balanced silhouette that works in bedrooms from cozy to spacious.
Each drawer features full-extension ball-bearing glides, allowing you to access contents all the way to the back—no more fishing around in dark corners. The glides operate whisper-quiet and support up to 75 lbs per drawer, easily handling your heaviest sweaters or denim collections.
Dovetail Joinery & Craftsmanship
We employ traditional dovetail joinery throughout the Panang Dresser—the gold standard for drawer construction. English dovetails at the front corners and French dovetails at the back create mechanical locks that grow stronger under stress, unlike stapled or glued joints that weaken over time.
Each drawer takes our craftsmen approximately 45 minutes to construct and fit. We hand-sand every interior surface to furniture-grade smoothness, so there are no snags on delicate fabrics. Corner blocks reinforce the dresser frame at every joint, and we use furniture-grade plywood for drawer bottoms rather than thin particleboard.

Questions About the Panang Dresser
The Panang Dresser arrives fully assembled—no tools or setup required. We build and finish each piece completely in our workshop, so you simply unpack it and position it in your room. You’ll only need to attach the antique brass pulls, which takes about 10 minutes with the included hardware and Allen wrench.
The dresser ships in protective packaging and weighs approximately 185 lbs, so we recommend having two people available for unpacking and placement.
Yes, all 10 drawers are designed for standard folded clothing storage. Each drawer measures approximately 11-13 inches deep (graduated depth from top to bottom), 26 inches wide, and 5 inches high internally. This sizing comfortably fits folded t-shirts, sweaters, jeans, and most clothing items.
The top two felt-lined drawers work beautifully for smaller items like jewelry, accessories, or undergarments, while the deeper bottom drawers can accommodate bulkier items like sweatshirts or extra bedding.
The Panang is constructed entirely from solid acacia hardwood, while most budget dressers use particle board or MDF covered with veneer. Solid wood offers superior strength, longevity, and repairability—it won’t chip or delaminate like particle board surfaces.
Our dovetail drawer joinery creates mechanical bonds that actually strengthen over time, whereas particle board drawers typically use staples or cam locks that loosen with use. You’ll notice the difference immediately in weight, drawer operation smoothness, and overall stability.
Yes, the top surface supports up to 50 lbs safely, which accommodates most bedroom mirrors and TVs up to about 42 inches. The solid wood construction and reinforced corner blocks provide excellent stability for top-mounted items.
If you’re mounting a mirror, we offer the coordinating <a href=”/marlowe-dresser-mirror/”>Marlowe Dresser Mirror</a> designed to complement the Panang’s proportions. For TV mounting, we recommend using non-slip furniture pads to protect the finish and prevent shifting.
The Panang’s drawers won’t sag under normal use thanks to several design features. We use furniture-grade plywood for all drawer bottoms (not thin particleboard), which resists bending even when fully loaded. The dovetail joinery keeps drawer corners square and tight.
Each drawer’s ball-bearing glides are rated for 75 lbs and mounted with reinforced brackets. As long as you don’t exceed this weight limit per drawer, the glides will maintain smooth, level operation for years. Avoid overloading individual drawers, and distribute weight evenly across all 10 for best results.
The gray weathered finish is a hand-applied stain that penetrates the wood, not paint sitting on the surface. This technique allows the natural acacia grain patterns and texture to show through while providing the gray color.
Because we apply the finish by hand and acacia features varied grain, each dresser has unique character—no two are identical. The finish also wears more gracefully than paint, developing a lived-in patina rather than chipping or peeling over time.
We offer a 30-day return window on the Panang Dresser if it doesn’t work for your space. The dresser must be in original condition with all hardware and packaging. Please note that due to the size and weight, return shipping costs are the customer’s responsibility unless the item arrived damaged.
We recommend carefully measuring your space and doorways before ordering. The dresser dimensions are 64″W × 19″D × 38″H, and you’ll need door clearance of at least 34 inches wide to maneuver it into most rooms.
