That's a cute idea. I can see it used in many rooms for different things.

"Well, I can see it for all kinds of things, books, toys, gloves, whatever, but as it is it seems to me it's kinda adding one useless piece to store a bunch of useless things ---- sorry :)"

It's not "useless" if you're a person that has throw pillows that need to find a "home" while you sleep. I currently store ours on top of an old chest a the foot of our bed. That works for me, but I do think the drawer corral idea might work for some people. Of course, if you don't have throw pillows on your bed, it is useless (LOL)

I know.

I think it is a cute idea, but I dont think it will be attractive when the pillows are not in it. And since the pillows will only be in it when I am asleep and when I am awake it will be empty I am not so sure it works......

I love this idea, and actually have a drawer from a project we did that would be perfect for it. I throw mine on the floor (ugh, I know), this would be nice. Thank you for sharing!

I prefer a bench where the pillows can stack, the spread can be folded down on, and I can sit to put on shoes. But this could work for some people.

We have dust mite allergies so no extra pillows or bedding for us. I think I would prefer a trunk at the foot of the bed though as it could hide the pillows entirely and also be a place to sit. This idea seems like it would be cute for kids toys, especially stuffed animals. (At our house stuffed animals live in not-so-cute bins.)

No allergies in my home. I do have family members who do and witness their misery. I'm sorry you do.

I love having my throw pillows to dress up my bed. I have the head of my bed pulled out from the wall and store my pillows there, using a large bag strung across between the posts of the bed. It's an easy grab when I need them. :)

This idea is cute too. I just like mine hidden and protected from dust as much as possible.

Great find Lynn. Maybe we wouldn't use it for pillows as suggested but it does encourage us to think outside the box when it comes to storage and repurposing what we have. I recently found a wine bucket that was given to us as a wedding present but that I never used. I liked its appearance though and so now it holds towels in my bathroom.

We also don't do throw pillows, but another use for this little project immediately came to mind. We have a lot of throws. A lot! We call them woobies, and we use them for our cats' and my naps. This would be a good place to store the extra woobies. The cats would happily nap on the top one, especially if it were under a window.

i don't think i would want it for throw pillows because i wouldn't like it to sit empty, but i think it would be adorable at the end of a child's bed filled with his/her beloved stuffed animals! the animals could be close to the bed, but not piled on it!!

But what does it look like during the day when the pillows are on the bed?

edited to make sense

plant bench??

We have a bench at the foot of our bed. The one long bolster pillow we have on the bed is placed on the bench at bedtime. Then the dog knocks it off and so I guess the floor is where we actually keep the pillow.

The floor, under the dog, Magdalena ;)

Mine get stacked on the two slipper chairs in front of the fireplace. Not ideal, but it keeps the pillows off the floor, and the dogs off the chairs.

I think it's cute, but that seems like a perfectly fine dresser to me!

I'm with Pal, and would prefer it to be a bench so it could be used for other things during the day and night too. Now if you added a piano hinged top with a attached cushion, then I'd be all over this. IF, and only if, I could repurpose the rest of the dresser.
And of course you all know I wouldn't have painted it. LOL

I'd keep the throw pillows in it at night, and during the day it could hold my throws that I use at night.

Neat idea Lynn! Like bpath, I can see it during the day with a pretty throw or blanket. We have a chest at the end of the bed and our pillows go there at night. I love pillows - everywhere, but of course on the bed too. I like your thoughts of using this in a child's room also. Would be very cute! I can see dolls or stuffed animals peeking out of one.

Yes, I agree that it might look odd during the day if it was sitting empty. The idea that it could hold folded throws then is a good one. I said we had a chest at the foot of ours. I should have said a trunk with a flat top. We keep our throw pillows on that at night, and it works fine. I just saw this cute idea and thought it might be a pretty and inexpensive solution for some people. Actually, if I didn't need the trunk's storage, I'd replace it with a totally padded bench, as DH walks into it at least once a month!

what if someone sits on it, thinking it's a solid surface? Ouch. "Clever" idea to a certain extent, but I'd rather have a real bench. Just place the pillows on top of the bench.

I like it LynnNM. All the naysay is annoying. If folks don't think it's useful then don't make one! Also, I see lots of suggestions of "what if", and I just want to say that the only people that go in my bedroom are family and they've been there before and can tell it's not a seat, and you could put some blankets, a quilt, whatever in there as well. I will never throw a dresser away now, I will reuse it, even if it's just to collect junk in the garage. LOL!!

When empty I'm sure if lined with cute paper it would be adorable.
