Oak chests of drawers that are built to last in your bedroom

Oak chests of drawers bring warmth, character and lasting quality to bedrooms. With natural grain patterns and sturdy construction, oak offers both beauty and resilience – perfect for furniture that's used every day. Our oak chests include solid oak frames, dovetail-jointed drawers and hand-applied finishes that enhance the timber's unique markings. Whether you're drawn to the light tones of Berkeley Nordic Oak, the rich depth of Winchcombe Dark Oak or the contemporary feel of Winson Light Oak, each piece is crafted using traditional methods for strength you can rely on. Consider drawer configuration carefully: tallboys suit compact spaces, while low and wide chests provide display surfaces. Soft-close runners and antiqued hardware add thoughtful touches across the range, making these chests as practical as they are handsome.

What oak finishes are available across these chests of drawers?

These chests of drawers are available in a range of oak finishes: Berkeley Nordic Oak, Bibury Smoked Oak, Elkstone Mellow Oak, Winchcombe Dark Oak, Winchcombe Oiled Oak, Winchcombe Smoked Oak, Oakridge Blonde Oak, Oakridge Toasted Oak, Winson Light Oak, Inglesham Whitewash Oak, Camille Limewash Oak, and Oakland Rustic Oak.

How should oak chests of drawers be cared for and maintained?

Oak chests of drawers need regular care to keep them looking their best. Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth to prevent build-up. For cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth followed by a dry one – avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the finish. Depending on the finish, you may need to reapply wax or oil occasionally to nourish the wood and maintain its protective layer. Keep your chest away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent fading or warping, and wipe up any spills immediately to avoid marking.

What joinery techniques are used in crafting these oak chests of drawers?

Our oak chests of drawers are crafted using traditional joinery methods for lasting strength. The Berkeley Nordic Oak and Bibury Smoked Oak ranges feature dovetail-jointed drawers, which provide exceptional durability. Berkeley Nordic Oak also uses mortise and tenon joints for the solid wood frames, ensuring superior structural integrity. The Elkstone Mellow Oak collection combines mortise and tenon joints with dovetailed drawers for dependable construction. These time-honoured techniques ensure your chest of drawers will withstand everyday use for years to come.

Can I request a wood sample before purchasing one of these oak chests?

Yes, you can request a free wood sample. We offer complimentary samples so you can see how the wood and finish will look in your home before making your purchase.

Why does each oak chest of drawers look slightly different from the next?

Each oak chest of drawers is unique because oak is a natural material. The wood grain, knots and natural characteristics vary from piece to piece, making every chest of drawers one of a kind.
