Transform your sideboard into a beautiful display with our collection of dresser tops. Designed to sit perfectly atop your existing sideboard, these pieces create extra space to showcase your favourite dinnerware, treasured family photos or cherished keepsakes. Whether you're looking to add character to your dining room or bring warmth to a kitchen, a dresser top offers both practical storage and an opportunity to display the things you love.

A dresser top for every style

Our collection features dresser tops across several of our most-loved ranges. The Chester collection brings timeless elegance in Dove Grey, Classic Cream, Charcoal and Limestone – each finished with hand-applied wax-oiled oak tops that gently contrast against the painted frames. For a rustic, French-inspired feel, Camille Limewash Oak showcases sweeping curves and a hand-applied limewash finish that brings out the natural, weathered grain. If you're drawn to natural oak tones, our Inglesham Whitewash Oak and Elkstone Smoked Oak ranges offer beautifully hand-finished pieces that highlight the unique character in every piece of timber.

Sizes, styles and finishes to suit your space

We offer dresser tops in small, large and extra-large sizes to pair perfectly with your existing sideboard. Choose from glazed designs with doors to protect your displays, or open shelving styles that make everything easy to reach. Many of our Chester pieces include both wooden and metal handles, so you can style to suit your home. From generous shelving behind glass doors to charming mug racks reminiscent of classic country kitchens, there's a design to suit every need and aesthetic.

Built to last with our Signature Cotswold Quality

Every dresser top is crafted using traditional techniques including strong mortise and tenon joints, and made from solid oak and quality oak veneers. Shaped entirely by nature, no two pieces are ever the same – each one celebrates the oak's natural grain, knots and character. All our dresser tops are delivered fully assembled and come with our 15-year structural guarantee, giving you complete peace of mind that you're investing in furniture built to last a lifetime.

What wood types and finishes are the dresser tops available in?

Our dresser tops are available in a range of wood types and finishes to suit your style. Choose from solid oak with hand-applied finishes including Inglesham Whitewash Oak, Elkstone Mellow Oak, Elkstone Smoked Oak, and Camille Limewash Oak. We also offer painted finishes in Chester Charcoal, Chester Classic Cream, Chester Dove Grey, and Chester Limestone – all with white wax-finished oak tops.

Are the dresser tops sold separately from the base units?

Yes, our dresser tops are sold separately from the base units. Each dresser top is designed to pair with a specific sideboard from the same collection – for example, the Chester Dove Grey large dresser top pairs beautifully with the Chester Dove Grey large sideboard. This gives you the flexibility to purchase them individually or together to create a complete dresser.

What are the dimensions of the dresser tops, and will they fit standard dresser bases?

Our dresser tops come in a range of sizes to suit different sideboards. The small dresser top (Inglesham Whitewash Oak) measures H110 x W100 x D42cm, while our large dresser tops (available in Chester Classic Cream, Chester Dove Grey, Chester Charcoal, and Chester Limestone) measure H111 x W137 x D34cm. For extra-large spaces, we offer dresser tops measuring H107 x W186 x D31cm (Chester ranges) and H110 x W180 x D36.5cm (Elkstone Smoked Oak and Elkstone Mellow Oak). Each dresser top is designed to pair with its corresponding sideboard base – for example, the Chester Dove Grey large dresser top pairs perfectly with the Chester Dove Grey large three-door sideboard, ensuring a seamless fit.

Are the dresser tops compatible with other furniture pieces in the same range?

Yes, our dresser tops are designed to pair beautifully with matching sideboards from the same range. For example, the Inglesham Whitewash Oak small dresser top pairs with the Inglesham Whitewash Oak two door sideboard, while the Chester Dove Grey large dresser top is made to sit atop the Chester Dove Grey large three door sideboard. Each dresser top is specifically designed to complement its corresponding sideboard in both style and dimensions.

Do the dresser tops arrive fully assembled or do they require self-assembly?

All our dresser tops arrive fully assembled, so you can enjoy them straight away without any fuss.

How should the dresser tops be cared for and maintained to preserve their finish?

To keep your dresser top looking its best, simply wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For painted surfaces like Chester Dove Grey, Chester Classic Cream, Chester Charcoal or Chester Limestone, use a slightly damp cloth if needed, then dry immediately. The oak tops are finished with white wax oil or lacquer to protect the natural grain, so avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For pieces with a limewash finish, like Camille Limewash Oak, gentle care will preserve the rustic, weathered character. Regular dusting and the occasional wipe will help maintain the beautiful finish for years to come.

Do the dresser tops come with a warranty or guarantee?

Yes, all dresser tops come with The Cotswold Company 15-year Structural Guarantee. This covers any faults to structural elements including frames, joints, hinges and handles, giving you added peace of mind. For full details, please visit our 15-year guarantee page.

Are finish samples available to ensure the dresser tops match existing furniture?

Yes, free wood samples are available to help you see how the finish will look in your home before you buy. You can request a sample to ensure the dresser top matches your existing furniture perfectly.
