We've got built ins in Nate's room with shelves but no dresser. I do have a low unit with 2 shelves in it to put 'stuff' on - lamp, toys photos etc. In there are spare nappy inserts, blankets and wraps. His clothes are all in the wardrobe shelves/hanging.
However, when Darcy was born, she had a wardrobe twice the size of Nate's and still had a full chest of drawers.
I just learned with Nate not to buy so many useless clothes. Plus being the second you hardly receive any gifts....
In baby's room we have nappies, socks, singlets, growsuits, wraps, cloth nappies etc. in drawers and proper clothes, blankets and just stuff on the shelves.
In DD's room we have all "small" clothes like singlets, socks, Pj's, hats etc. in drawers and other clothes on shelves.
You could prob do without shelves if you had to but as they grow older they will need more space for more and bigger clothes!
