FYI, this Pottery Barn dresser dupe is more than 50% off during Way Day

I have to tell you about this piece of furniture that truly transformed my bedroom – the Charlton Home Scarlett Dresser (yes, the same one you might have seen flagged in those “Pottery Barn style for less” lists).

Last year, I snagged a *very* similar version of this dresser from the Charlton Home line during Way Day from Wayfair and, honestly, I still pinch myself every time I walk into the room. It’s back again this year, thanks to the retailer’s 2025 event kicking off on Oct. 26.

It has been holding up beautifully since I got it last year when I moved into my new house, and at 52 % off that “luxury‑look” price tag, it feels like a little design win I’m proud of.

Charlton Home Scarlett Dresser

Wayfair

Here’s how it all went down: I had been eyeing the Pottery Barn dresser for years; it’s luxurious, oversized, and has that Pinterest aesthetic written all over it. But, it was *way* over budget.

Then, Way Day dropped. That’s when I found the Charlton Home Scarlett dresser at a fraction of that cost: same silhouette-ish lines, with that bowed front slight curvature, and warm wood tone meets elegant finish. I instantly thought, “Yes. THIS is the moment.”

So, it was soon ordered. The dresser arrived and was assembled (well, I assembled it thanks to a builder at Angi — easy enough). I placed it against the one wall in my bedroom right across from my favorite bed, which — surprise, surprise — was another Wayfair add-to-cart order.

Over the months, this dresser has held up without any sagging drawers or major scuffs. While the drawers could be deeper, it looks like the “high‐end” piece I had dreamed of, but one that didn’t make me cringe at checkout.

Let me describe how it looks in my space (and why I love it). The room has soft beige walls (hey, Benjamin Moore’s “Balboa Mist,” a light gray carpet, and a handful of muted brass and gold accents (lamp bases, curtain rods, you know the drill).

The Charlton Home Scarlett Dresser anchors one wall with presence: it’s not so bulky that the space feels crowded, yet it is sizable enough to make a statement. On top of it, I’ve placed my smart TV, coffee table book, and retro-chic Bluetooth speaker. In the morning light, the wood finish glows warmly; in the evening, I switch on my bedside lamp, and the dresser illuminates with the “relaxed luxury” vibe I was hoping to achieve all along.

And yes — about that 52% off deal. To grab a lookalike of the Pottery Barn style for more than half off of what the “luxury version” would cost? That felt like a smart move, not a compromise. Because at the end of the day, we’re talking about style you love, plus functioning storage, plus everyday durability.

The way I see it: I wanted the look, I wanted the quality, and I didn’t want to bankrupt myself in the process. This dresser delivered on all three.

One extra thing: durability. Having had this dresser for a year, I have to say, it’s been steady. Some cheaper furniture I’ve owned creaks, shifts or shows wear too soon, but not this one. The drawer interiors remain clean and intact, the finish still gleams.

If I were to give a little advice to someone thinking of doing the same, make sure you have the room measurements sorted (this one is substantial enough to need clearance around it). Also, consider how the wood tone plays with your lighting (mine sits near a window, and the finish glows beautifully midday). Finally, don’t underestimate the impact of a single statement piece in a room; the dresser did more than just “store stuff”; it pulled the whole vibe together.

The bottom line

In short, my Charlton Home Scarlett Dresser isn’t just a piece of furniture; it’s truly a design statement that doesn’t feel fragile or “budgeted.” It’s proven its worth through real life. If you’re looking for that Pottery Barn look without the Pottery Barn price, this might be your kind of win.
