Do guests even use dressers?

[Jon Martin]

I know I never do. Looking through listings recently I've noticed that a lot of them don't have dressers, and if they do you can tell it's mostly decorative because they don't look very useful (short/shallow drawers, minimal space etc). 

I ask because IMO dressers are by far the hardest thing to shop for that checks all the boxes (quality slides, deep drawers, looks nice) without breaking the bank, which multiplied by several bedrooms can really add up. Plus they take up a lot of floor space and thus have to be coordinated with bed placement, doors, windows etc and greatly affect movement flow. 

With that- anyone forgoing dressers altogether? Anyone get a bad review for not having them? I do see some listings having fold-up suitcase racks instead as a compromise. I've somewhat committed to the idea of 3 drawer chests in place of nightstands on each side of the bed, but even those are not cheap and don't save you that much compared to 2 nightstands plus a shared dresser per room. Curious to hear any feedback.

1. We have them in all bedrooms now but before we did we never had a complaint.

2. My wife absolutely unpacks and puts all her stuff away and the suitcase goes in the closet till we are packing to leave.

I just sometimes just live out of the suitcase and sometimes put my stuff away in drawers.

On a side note since you are local to me I just bought a hoarder house that has antiques including dressers and chest of drawers. You interested in looking at them? They are in Spartanburg and I would make you a sweet deal on anything you wanted. There is a grandfather clock too.
