5 products

When space is tight but storage needs are high, a tallboy or tall chest of drawers is the perfect solution. These clever, vertical designs make the most of every inch, fitting neatly into bedrooms, hallways or landings while offering generous drawer space to keep clothes, linens and personal items beautifully organised.

Our tallboy collections

We've designed a range of tallboys to suit different tastes and interior styles. Our Chester Classic Cream tallboy brings a soft, timeless elegance to any room, while the Chester Dove Grey tallboy offers a more contemporary feel. For those who love natural wood tones, the Winchcombe Oiled Oak vanity tallboy showcases beautiful grain patterns and includes a thoughtful lift-up lid with mirror and jewellery compartments. If you're drawn to French-inspired design, our Camille Limewash Oak range features elegant curves and hand-applied finishes that bring out the timber's character.

Styles, sizes and finishes

Our collection includes both classic tallboys with multiple drawers and clever vanity tallboys that combine storage with a hidden mirror and compartments for smaller treasures. Heights typically range from just over a metre to 128cm, with widths designed to slot into narrower spaces – perfect when you need storage but can't spare much floor area. You'll find painted finishes in Pure White, Classic Cream and Dove Grey, as well as natural oak in tones from Nordic Oak to Dark Oak. Many pieces come with a choice of handles – both wooden and metal – so you can style them to suit your home.

Built to last, delivered with care

Every tallboy is crafted using traditional methods at our workshops, with solid oak frames, dovetail-jointed drawers and quality oak veneers. Many feature soft-close drawers for a gentle, quiet finish. We're so confident in the quality that each piece comes with our 15-year structural guarantee. Best of all, your tallboy arrives fully assembled and ready to use – we'll even deliver it to your room of choice and take away all the packaging.

How do I care for and maintain the painted or wood finish on these chests?

To keep your chest looking its best, simply wipe painted finishes with a soft, damp cloth and dry immediately. For natural wood finishes like oiled or waxed oak, dust regularly and occasionally treat with appropriate furniture wax or oil to nourish the timber and protect its beautiful grain. Avoid harsh chemicals and direct sunlight to preserve the finish for years to come.

Can I request finish samples before purchasing a tallboy or tall chest?

Yes, you can request free wood samples to see how the finish will look in your home before purchasing. You'll find the option to request samples at the bottom of each product page, or you can view all available samples and order them directly. Find out more about ordering wood samples.

Do these tall chests coordinate with other bedroom furniture in the same ranges?

Yes, these tall chests coordinate beautifully with other bedroom furniture in their ranges. The Chester tallboy works wonderfully with other Chester pieces to create a complete look, while the Winchcombe, Berkeley, Camille and Chantilly tallboys each form part of their respective collections, designed to complement one another perfectly throughout your bedroom.
