Chest of Drawers
A good chest of drawers keeps clothes folded, tidy and easy to find. Choose tall chests to save floor space or wide chests that double as a dressing surface. Our range includes oak, mango, painted and reclaimed wood finishes. Many designs match our beds, bedsides and wardrobes.
Finding the Right Chest of Drawers
The chest of drawers is the workhorse of the bedroom. It holds jumpers, underwear, T-shirts and more. It also gives you a handy surface for a mirror, lamp or jewellery tray.
Tall or Wide?
Tall chests have more drawers stacked up. They suit narrow walls and small bedrooms. Wide chests sit lower with longer drawers. They give you a big top surface. Some people use one as a dressing table with a mirror above.
Drawer Layouts
- 2 over 3 – two small drawers above three large ones. Great for socks and accessories.
- 3 over 4 – more small drawers for organised storage.
- Equal drawers – a simple, clean look.
Quality to Look For
Pull out a drawer fully. It should run smoothly and stay level. Check the drawer base is firmly fixed. Dovetail or well-fixed joints last longer. Handles should feel solid in your hand.
Beyond the Bedroom
A chest of drawers works in other rooms too. In a hallway it stores gloves, hats and dog leads. In a living room it hides chargers and paperwork. In a nursery it can double as a changing station.
Finishes and Ranges
Choose Newton for natural oak and clean lines. Horner brings warm oak and soft corners. Olympia combines marble with a smart frame. Arnewood and Artwork add painted and mango options.
Safety First
Always fix tall chests to the wall with a suitable anti-tip strap or bracket. This is vital in homes with children.
Match your chest with bedside cabinets and a wardrobe. Add a trinket mirror on top. Browse all bedroom furniture.
