I think the legs on the dresser is what makes the difference. The second dresser just appears too heavy IMO. I'd say wait the first one! Looks like it will be a beautiful space though!

I just waited 6 months for a chair and ottoman, and have no regrets, I love them.

If you really love it, waiting 10-12 weeks is worth it.

I don't think it would look out of place. The squarish-elements speak to the rest of the elements in your room. Bernhardt is a great manufacturer, and they make quality pieces that will last a very long time. That being said, if you really love the other dresser, you should just wait. It's really not that long to wait in the grand scheme of things. Having just obsessed and micromanaged the entire build of a house, it's funny how when the entire thing is done, you forget about the little details you obsessed over and realize that the little things you fretted over, really aren't a big deal. I'm trying to keep things in perspective a bit more as I decorate our house, but it's a tough habit to get out of! Good luck!

Ten to 12 weeks is nothing, in the world of home design.
I'd wait.

I can already hear you in October, saying, "Oh, I wish I had waited; if I had, the thing I really wanted would be here now instead of this thing that is just enough off to blow the whole composition!"

And October will be here in about five minutes...

Tell your long-suffering designer that you will wait, and that you promise not to revisit the decision between now and then, and not to call him/her every week to ask if it's on schedule, and that you're ready to go ahead with everything else, and if you think you really have driven him/her nuts, send a lovely orchid on the day after the installation with a sweet note about how much you love, love, love everything, and appreciate his/her patience and forbearance.
We have all been driven batty by clients who care too much, and it's still better than clients who don't care at all.

Agree, the second one just doesn't quite fit. I'm thinking it's the wood tones more than the design, but yeah, wait for the first one.

Pulling together a design takes patience. There are always issues that stretch the time line or change the direction. I'll echo what other posters have said. Wait for the dresser you love. If you are dead set on something, don't compromise because you will always dissatisfied with the result.

Oh, and by the way...the choices you have made are lovely!

We put that same long, low console into an apartment in another city as our TV/media stand, and liked it so much that we bought another one for our house.

Thank you all so much for your post's. I really do feel like the bed leans a little traditional, the traditional dresser will just pull the whole room that direction. While the orginal dresser keeps it in that transitional feel.

I really appreciate all the comments, makes me feel confident I'm not a nutty client who doesn't see it :)

Just wondering who the manufacturer of the original dresser is.

I have no patience in waiting for furniture, but in your case, I'd wait. Both choices are really nice. I love the style of your initial choice. And the second one blends well with your other choices. But I agree with ksoxgrl that the alternate one is too heavy and as someone else mentioned is more traditional, not transitional.

I would go for the Bernhardt. You have enough legs and vertical bars in the other pieces, you donÂt need legs on the dresser. Your other pieces are open, and this will help ground the space. Also, the panels on the Bernhardt seem a better match with the bed. Very nice pieces!

I like both dressers very well. I don't see the Bernhardt being very traditional at all, but I do realize that subtle differences can make or break a look and can take something from like it to love it. So, it's your call.

As someone has already pointed out the second one looks heavy and dated without the legs. The size of the mirror seems "off" too. I would wait. A three months wait is nothing for something you will enjoy for a lifetime.

Great choices. I would definitely wait for what I truly want. I think you may regret settling for something that can give you immediate gratification.

The dressers are much different in all but their shape. I like the one you first chose for your room. I like that the legs give a lighter feel to the piece, also I like the smaller, detached mirror. To me the 2nd piece seems off for some reason which may very well be that it isn't the best dresser choice considering your other pieces. Well worth the wait IMHO.

Whwn i worked with a designer in me FR and breakfast nook, it took 3 months for everything to come in. So, the time frame for the dresser you love is typical.

Your bedroom will be beautful. Just wait and see.
