Tall Chest of Drawers

A tall chest of drawers delivers significant storage in a small footprint, using vertical space rather than floor area for clothing and linen. Our tall chest range includes five, six and seven-drawer formats in solid oak, walnut, painted timber and lacquered finishes. Each piece uses proper drawer construction with dovetail or mitred joinery and smooth-action runners.

Tall chests typically stand between 120 and 160cm, with six or seven drawers stacked to use the vertical space efficiently. This height works well below standard ceilings and under angled roof lines. Taller chests (above 160cm) suit rooms with higher ceilings and walls without low-set windows.

Tall chests suit folded clothing, knitwear, underwear, socks and accessories, plus bed linen if space allows. Heavier items work better in lower drawers for ergonomic access. Seasonal rotation is straightforward, as several drawers can each house a complete category.

Well-made tall chests include wall-fixing brackets to secure the piece against tipping, especially important around children. The fixing is essential rather than optional; never skip this during installation. Cheaper flat-pack alternatives without proper anti-tip measures should be avoided in family homes.

Most of our tall chests are part of broader bedroom ranges with matching bedside tables, wardrobes and sometimes bedframes. Using pieces from the same range provides coherent finish, though varying the silhouette slightly keeps the scheme from feeling too matched. Mixing related but not identical pieces usually reads best.
