Dytecture It's definitely not trending at the moment. The top of the dresser are usually left empty to expose the wall above for a wall hung mirror or art work.

Judy M Does it face your bed? If yes, Perhaps remove the mirror and add a flat screen TV. Like the more modern media cabinets.

Sigrid The question shouldn't be, Is it dated? But do you like it? Is the hutch functional, or is it taking up too much dresser-top space and you don't need the mirror. The thing I've noticed is that trends sometimes come because something is useful and then it goes out because everyone has one. And sometimes something goes out because no one really needs it. Armoires, for example, aren't very common because if you have a closet, you don't need one.

But decorating based on the needs of the average person and the average house is stupid. And one thing you will note from Houzz is, it doesn't matter how lovely or how awful your room or house is, some people will love it and others hate it. Ditto with any piece of furniture.
