Can anyone tell me about this dresser? The first picture has a sticker in drawer that says Berkey & Gay.

Your dresser has two labels: Berkey & Gay and Grand Rapids Made.
The triangle trademark with the lettering "G. R. M." was used by members of the Furniture Manufacturers Association of Grand Rapids to identify true "Grand Rapids Made" furniture and to differentiate it from imposters.
The triangle trademark was used between 1899 and 1913.
So, you have 5-drawer bureau/highboy dresser/chest of drawers with a tilt beveled mirror, made by the renowned Berkey & Gay furniture company of Grand Rapids in 1899-1913.
Antique Berkey & Gay Dresser With Mirror but with 6 drawers, original finish with age-appropriate wear, but in generally very good condition, was sold for $195 picclick.com/
There is a history of the company here www.furniturecityhistory.org/
The latest year your piece could be manufactured was 1948. It is a quality piece because it has dovetailed drawers.
A similar piece on Etsy is asking $895. www.etsy.com/
