Kaywood Dresser vs Alouette 7-Drawer Wide Dresser

Buy the Alouette if you want solid New Zealand pine, seven deep drawers, long-extension glides and GREENGUARD Gold certification, and you are willing to pay more for a heavier, heirloom-style piece. Buy the Kaywood if you want a mid-century look with a weathered two-tone finish and English dovetail drawers for less. The Kaywood is engineered wood with a 3D paper veneer, so it is lighter and needs assembly; the Alouette arrives assembled and weighs 175 lb. Owners of the Alouette describe it as very high quality; the Kaywood has a small but strong rating base.

• Choose the Kaywood if you want a mid-century two-tone pine-look dresser with dovetailed drawers and you are fine with assembly and a veneer build.
• Choose the Alouette if you want a solid pine, fully assembled seven-drawer dresser with long-extension glides and GREENGUARD Gold certification.
