6 Drawer Chests

Three drawers, but not a small chest

A 3 drawer chest trades drawer count for drawer depth: three generous drawers instead of six shallower ones, which suits bulkier folded items like jumpers, jeans and bed linen. It is worth knowing that ours are not compact pieces. The Harmony 3 Drawer is 130cm wide and 90cm tall, and the Mia 3 Drawer is 106cm wide and 89cm tall, so both stand taller than most of our 6 drawer chests and give you a surface at hip height rather than under a window.

Choose a 3 drawer chest if you fold rather than sort, if you want fewer, larger drawers to work with, or if you want a taller piece to balance a low bed. Choose a 6 drawer chest if you would rather separate smaller items into their own drawers, or if you need the top of the chest to sit lower.

Both of ours are built from solid American oak and oak veneer with a natural oil finish. For the full range of drawer configurations, including 4, 5 and 6 drawer chests, see our chests of drawers and tallboys collection.

What are the benefits of a 3-drawer chest?

A 3-drawer chest can provide a convenient storage solution for bedrooms, guest rooms, or other areas of the home. It can help to keep items organized and easily accessible, and can also serve as a decorative accent piece in a room.

How do I choose a 3-drawer chest?

When choosing a 3-drawer chest, consider the size and style of your room, as well as your personal style and needs. Look for a 3-drawer chest that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing, and consider factors such as storage capacity, overall durability, and the type of material used.

How do I care for my 3-drawer chest?

To keep your 3-drawer chest in good condition, wipe it down regularly with a soft cloth or microfiber towel to remove dust and debris. For wooden 3-drawer chests, consider purchasing the same protective oil that was applied during the manufacturing process and reapply every year or so. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the finish.

How do I style my 3-drawer chest?

To style your dressing table, consider adding decorative accents such as a vase of fresh flowers, a decorative tray or jewellry box, and a few personal items such as photographs or favourite books. You can also experiment with different lighting options, such as a small table lamp or string lights, to create a cosy and inviting atmosphere.
