Chest of Drawers

Every home needs proper drawer storage, but finding a chest of drawers that actually fits your space and holds everything you need can be trickier than expected. Whether you're trying to organise a bedroom, sort out the hallway, or create storage in the living room, the right chest makes all the difference.

We've got everything from compact 3-drawer units perfect for tight spaces to substantial 8-drawer storage that can handle a family's worth of clothing and belongings.

 

Small Chest of Drawers for Tight Spaces

Not everyone's got acres of bedroom space, and sometimes you just need somewhere to put socks and underwear without taking over the entire room. Our 3-drawer and 4-drawer units are perfect for smaller bedrooms, kids' rooms, or anywhere space is at a premium.

These aren't flimsy bedroom furniture either - proper construction with smooth-running drawers and metal handles that won't fall off after a month. Many come in white or neutral finishes that work with whatever else you've got going on.

Storage Chest with Drawers for Everything Else

When you need serious storage capacity, larger chest of drawers handle the job properly. 5-drawer and 6-drawer units give you room for clothes, bedding, towels, or whatever needs organising. Perfect for master bedrooms where you're trying to keep two people's worth of stuff sorted.

The deeper drawers work brilliantly for bulky items like jumpers and jeans, whilst the smaller top drawers are ideal for accessories and smaller bits that tend to get lost in bigger spaces.

What Works Best for Your Clothes

Here's the thing about storing clothes - not all drawers are created equal. If you've got delicate fabrics or just want something budget-friendly, those fabric drawer units work a treat. They're gentler on your clothes than hard surfaces, and when they get grubby (which they will), you can usually pull the whole drawer out and chuck it in the wash.

On the flip side, if you're after something that'll last decades and can handle being opened and slammed shut daily, wooden units are worth the extra cost. Most come with graduated drawer sizes - tiny ones up top for your bits and bobs, proper deep ones lower down for jeans and thick jumpers. Makes sense really, since that's how most people actually use them.

When You Need Storage That Moves

Ever lived somewhere where you're constantly shuffling furniture around? Wheeled chest of drawers are brilliant for this. Perfect if you're renting and the landlord's idea of storage doesn't match yours, or if you're one of those people who likes rearranging everything seasonally.

We've all been in flats where you need to move things out the way to hoover properly, or where the "bedroom" is really just one end of the living room. Castors mean you can wheel your storage wherever it works best, then tuck it away when you need the space for something else.

Picking the Right Style

Your bedroom furniture doesn't exist in a vacuum - it needs to work with whatever else you've got going on.
Wooden units with proper handles never really go out of fashion. They cost a bit more upfront but they age well, and if you get bored you can always paint them. The high-gloss modern ones look fantastic when they're new and clean - all sleek lines and shiny surfaces. Just be prepared for every fingerprint to show.

Then there's the industrial look - metal frames, darker colours, built like tanks. Popular with blokes who want their furniture to look like it could survive an apocalypse. And the fabric-topped ones? Softer, more relaxed, often cheaper, and surprisingly practical.

Really though, buy what you like living with. There's no point getting something that looks great in the shop if you'll hate looking at it every morning for the next ten years.

Practical Considerations

Drawer runners make a huge difference to daily use - look for units with proper metal rails rather than basic wooden guides. Your future self will thank you when you're not fighting to open stuck drawers every morning.
Height matters too. Taller units give you more storage in the same floor space, but make sure you can actually reach the top drawers comfortably. There's nothing worse than needing a stepladder to get to your everyday clothes.

Many of our chest of drawers come with anti-tip features - definitely worth having if there are children around or if you tend to open multiple drawers at once.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about Chest of Drawers

It really depends on what you're storing and how much space you've got. For a single person or child's room, a 3-4 drawer unit usually covers the basics - underwear, socks, t-shirts, and maybe some pyjamas. Couples or families typically need 5-6 drawers minimum, and if you're trying to store bedding, towels, or bulky jumpers as well, you'll probably want 6-8 drawers. Remember, it's often better to have more smaller drawers than fewer massive ones - easier to keep organised.

Fabric drawer units are lighter, cheaper, and gentler on your clothes - perfect if you've got delicate fabrics or you're on a budget. The fabric drawers usually pull right out for cleaning, which is handy. Wooden units are more robust and look more traditional, but they're heavier and cost more. If you've got kids who slam drawers or you want something that'll last twenty years, wood's probably worth the extra cost. Fabric's fine if you treat it reasonably well.

Most of our chest of drawers arrive flat-packed to keep delivery costs reasonable and make them easier to get upstairs. Assembly usually takes a few hours with basic tools - the instructions are normally pretty clear these days. If you're hopeless with DIY, most areas have handymen who'll put furniture together for a reasonable fee. A few of the smaller fabric units come mostly assembled, but the wooden ones definitely need building.

Flat-packed units shouldn't be a problem since you're carrying the pieces up separately. Once assembled, most chest of drawers are too wide to go through doorways sideways, so measure your doorways and hallways first. Standard UK doorways are usually 762mm (30 inches) wide, and most chest of drawers are designed to fit through, but always check the dimensions. Taller units might need tilting to get around corners.

The wheeled units we stock are surprisingly robust - they need to be since they're designed to move around regularly. Look for models with locking castors so they don't roll away when you're trying to open drawers. The wheels are usually designed not to scratch floors, but if you've got expensive hardwood, it's worth checking. They're brilliant for rental properties or if you like rearranging your bedroom seasonally.

Drawer depth varies quite a bit between models. Most standard chest of drawers have drawers around 35-40cm deep, which handles folded t-shirts, underwear, and most clothing fine. If you're planning to store bulky jumpers or bedding, check the internal dimensions first. The deeper bottom drawers are usually best for larger items, whilst the smaller top drawers work well for accessories and smaller bits.

For taller units (anything over about 1.2m high), wall fixing is definitely recommended, especially if you've got children around. Even adults can accidentally tip a chest over if they pull multiple drawers out at once or climb on it. Most units come with wall fixing brackets and screws, though you might need different fixings depending on your wall type. It's a simple job that could prevent a nasty accident.

We mainly stock HOMCOM units, which offer good value for money with decent build quality - they're particularly good for the fabric drawer models and modern styles. Our unbranded options are budget-friendly and fine for basic storage needs or temporary solutions. Vinsetto tends to specialise in office-style storage with wheels. All brands come with assembly instructions and are designed for home use, so your choice often comes down to budget and the specific style you're after.
