    if you want something GOOD you can still find it for a price.

    if you want something NOW it’s going to be cheap mdf flat pack garbage.

        Good and relatively mass produced? Good start searching for terms like “solid wood dresser”. You still have to do some vetting but it cuts down on the absolute junk.

        Good and cheap? Check your local Goodwill and Habitat for Humanity ReStore regularly - their stock is highly variable, but they will have some of the best items for the best price out there.

        Money is no object? Make friends with the folks at your local hardwood store and pry them for recommendations for local woodworkers, and attend local craft fairs.
