Find the Best Dressing Table for Your Bedroom Aesthetic
The right dressing tables store hairdryers and bits and bobs, yes – but more than anything else, they anchor a bedroom. Your dresser is where you get ready to face the world… or wind down from it. Where you stash secrets in drawers, arrange perfumes like art installations, or occasionally hide snacks from your kids (no judgement).
At Ericssons Mattress and Pine, we believe even one great piece can elevate an entire room, and when it comes to dressers that combine style with function, we’re proud to offer something truly special: The Iris Dresser.
This dressing table isn’t your average flat-pack furniture piece with wobbly drawers and vague instructions. It’s a proper investment in everyday comfort, and it’s designed to work hard while looking good doing it.
Meet The Iris Dressing Table
At first glance, what stands out about the Iris is its striking mix of melamine finishes, bringing subtle contrast and texture into play without overwhelming your space. Unlike traditional wooden dressing tables that can feel bulky or overly ornate for modern bedrooms, this design nails that sweet spot between contemporary charm and timeless practicality.
But what really sets it apart? Storage – and lots of it.
The three deep drawers glide open effortlessly thanks to telescopic runners (no more pulling at stuck handles), giving you room for everything from makeup bags to skincare stockpiles. You’ll also find a cupboard with an internal shelf perfectly sized for all those awkward hair tools (straighteners, dryers, curlers) that never seem to fit anywhere else neatly.
And let’s not forget dimensions: at 1 200mm wide without mirror attachment (and nearly two metres tall when assembled as a full unit), this dresser makes an impact without eating up half your floor space.
Most importantly, you can pair it with the rest of our Iris collection (like the Queen Iris Headboard and the Iris 2-Drawer Pedestal) for the most picture-perfect bedroom you could possibly dream of.
Designed With Real Life in Mind
Of course, aesthetics mean little if daily use becomes frustrating. Silver drawer knobs are easy on hands during early morning scrambles before school runs or late-night routines after long days. The melamine finish makes wiping off powder spills or coffee rings painless, which we all know happens more often than we’d like to admit.
Also worth noting? This dresser arrives pre-finished (not raw pine), which means no messy DIY staining projects or mismatched tones clashing with existing furniture pieces. What you see is exactly what you’ll get – a sleek unit ready to drop into any bedroom style immediately.
Who Is This For? Basically… Everyone Who Uses A Mirror
If you’re someone who appreciates organisation and beauty in equal measure, the Iris was made for you.
Teenager establishing their own sanctuary? Check. Busy parent needing efficient storage plus mirror access at dawn? Also check. Guest room upgrade that says: “we care about our visitors”? Absolutely check.
And if you’ve been endlessly scrolling through listings of generic wooden dressing tables, trying (and failing) to find one that’s both stylish and sensibly designed, you’ve officially landed in safer territory now.
You won’t need five tabs open comparing flimsy dressers made overseas with questionable warranties either – Ericssons only sells pieces we’d proudly put in our own homes… which we’ve been doing across Pretoria and East Rand households for over 50 years now.
So, if you’ve been hunting down quality dressing tables South Africa-wide but keep hitting dead ends filled with overpriced imports or underwhelming construction, then it’s time you met Ericssons’ best-kept secret offline and online: A single standout piece built smarter (not just prettier) for real bedrooms lived-in by real people who still want beautiful things around them every day.
