5 drawer chest of drawers

Tall 5 Drawer Chest of Drawers

Five drawers are where most UK bedrooms end up when the wardrobe just isn't enough. You get five proper tiers of storage in a single vertical footprint — thick knitwear at the bottom, everyday folded clothes in the middle, and the small stuff at the top. It works because it goes up rather than out. A 5 drawer chest of drawers sits against a narrow wall, fits beside a wardrobe, and handles a full household's clothing without spreading across the room. Call it a tall chest of drawers, a chest of 5 drawers, or just the piece that finally solves the overflow problem — the format is straightforward, and it works. The Dream Home Store 5-drawer range brings together fifteen products across six design families, all sitting within the wider DHS bedroom furniture range. Haven and Linra are the painted oak-top ranges, both at 115cm tall. The Wovena is a genuine rattan tallboy at 114cm. The Fluted chest tops the range at 120cm and comes in sage green. The Blythe, Shaker, and High Gloss fill out the rest. All fifteen come with a 30-day return policy and a 1-year manufacturer's warranty, delivered free to UK mainland addresses.

Which 5 drawer chest of drawers is the right fit for a bedroom with not much wall space?

Most of this range solves the problem the same way: go narrow, go tall. Nearly every product here sits at 70cm wide or below, which means a 5 drawer chest can fit in spaces where a wider piece simply wouldn't. The Blythe at W70cm x D40cm x H100cm is the most compact of the lot — the shortest in the collection and narrow enough for most bedroom alcoves. Wovena and the High Gloss both stay at 70cm wide while reaching 114cm and 115cm respectively. The Fluted chest is also 70cm wide but goes higher than anything else in the range at 120cm, which is useful when wall space is the constraint but you need a serious bedroom chest of drawers capacity. Haven and Linra are wider at 93cm, which is the trade-off for getting those broader 76cm drawers and the oak veneer top. If your wall run is under 80cm, stick with the 70cm group. If you've got more room and want the proper tall chest of drawers presence, Haven or Linra earns that wall space well.

What actually is a tallboy chest of drawers, and how does the DHS range use the term?

Strictly speaking, a tallboy chest of drawers is a tall, narrow freestanding piece where height significantly outpaces width — the classic tall boy chest of drawers format from traditional furniture design. In this DHS collection, the Wovena is the product most genuinely described that way: H114cm x W70cm x D40cm, a proportioned vertical silhouette on splayed pine legs. But the Haven, Linra, High Gloss, and Fluted all sit in the same tall format — narrow footprints reaching 115cm to 120cm. So in practical terms, most of the 5-drawer range functions as a tallboy, whether it carries that specific label or not. The exception is the Shaker. At H95cm and W79cm, it's actually the shortest and widest piece in this collection — the layout is 2 small drawers above 3 large ones, which gives it a different character altogether. If height is the priority, go with anything except the Shaker. The Fluted at 120cm is the tallest of the group. Blythe at 100cm is the most modest.

Can I get a black chest of drawers in a tall 5-drawer format, and does it match the rest of the DHS bedroom range?

Yes — and there are five ways to do it. Haven Black and Linra Black are the most complete options: both at W93cm x D42cm x H115cm with UV-painted black finishes, real oak veneer tops, and direct coordination with matching wardrobes, bedside tables, and full bedroom sets. Wovena Black brings a different angle — a H114cm tallboy in black melamine with genuine rattan cane fronts, pine legs, and hardwood knobs that coordinate with the whole Wovena Black range. Blythe Rustic Black is the compact choice at W70cm x H100cm in melamine. The High Gloss 5-drawer gives you a UV gloss black handleless piece at H115cm x W70cm, the black gloss chest of drawers option in the range. And the Fluted 5-drawer is available in black with fluted panel fronts and metallic handles. Five different takes on black, spanning mid-century, modern, and country styles. For a full bedroom set — wardrobe, 5-drawer chest, and bedside tables — the bedroom furniture sets collection brings Haven and Linra together in one purchase.

What grey chest of drawers options are in the DHS 5-drawer range, and how do they compare?

Grey is across five of the six design families here, which makes it the most covered finish in the collection. Haven Grey and Linra Grey are the most substantial, both at W93cm x D42cm x H115cm with UV-painted cool grey finishes and oak veneer tops. The grey-and-oak combination is genuinely good at not dating: it works against pale plaster walls, warm wood floors, navy bedding, terracotta cushions, most paint schemes. Five years from now it will still look considered. High Gloss does grey too, at W70cm x H115cm with a handleless gloss front — a different aesthetic entirely, modern and minimal, where Haven and Linra are more classic. Blythe covers grey two ways: Ash Grey and Walnut+Grey melamine finishes at W70cm x H100cm, useful if you want a lower-profile piece in the space. The Fluted chest adds a painted grey with fluted panel fronts and metallic handles at W70cm x H120cm. The Shaker rounds out with grey at W79cm x H95cm for the widest, shortest option. Across the five families, every version of grey in this range is a practical long-term choice — whether you're going for a traditional, modern or textured aesthetic, there's a format for it here. Matching Haven and Linra grey bedroom sets are in the bedroom furniture sets collection.

Does DHS do a blue chest of drawers in the 5-drawer tall format?

Three options. Haven Blue at W93cm x D42cm x H115cm, five smooth-glide drawers each 76cm wide and 35cm deep, rich UV-painted blue finish with a real oak veneer top. Linra Blue at the same dimensions but with beaded panel-front drawers in the same deep navy — more texture on the drawer face, the same oakveneer top and colour. And the Shaker in blue at W79cm x H95cm, which is a different format altogether: wider, shorter, 2-over-3 drawer layout, stainless steel cup handles. Haven Blue and Linra Blue are the pieces to build a coordinated blue bedroom around — both coordinate directly with matching wardrobes, bedside tables, and bedroom sets. Building a full blue bedroom is genuinely straightforward with either. All blue options come with free UK mainland delivery, a 30-day return policy, and a 1-year warranty. If you want the full matched set, 3-piece and 4-piece bedroom furniture sets in Haven Blue and Linra Blue are available separately.

Which product in this range is the sage green chest of drawers, and what does it actually look like?

The Tall 5 Drawer Chest with Fluted Design Painted Finish is the one. It's also the tallest piece in the whole collection at W70cm x D40cm x H120cm, and the only product here that comes in sage green. The fluted design runs across all five drawer fronts — a pattern of shallow vertical grooves that gives each drawer face a gentle rippled texture, somewhere between a plain painted finish and full decorative detail. Curved metallic handles sit on each drawer. In sage green, the combination is genuinely appealing in rooms with botanical prints, warm linen tones, and natural rugs; it feels deliberate in a way that a plain painted chest wouldn't. Drawers are W43cm x D35cm x H16cm internally: narrower width than the Haven and Linra at 76cm, but the same 35cm depth. The Fluted also comes in black, white, and grey for buyers who want the texture without the colour. Sage green chest of drawers availability at 120cm and 70cm wide is rare in this market — it's one of the more distinctive pieces in the collection. All four finishes ship free to UK mainland addresses.

Which tall slim chest of drawers fits a narrow wall or tight alcove?

Blythe, Wovena, High Gloss, and Fluted — all at W70cm. That's the narrow end of this collection. Any of the four works in a recess alongside a wardrobe, a slim stretch of wall, or a corner where nothing wider would fit. The Blythe at H100cm is the easiest to manage in a room with lower ceilings — compact, unobtrusive, and still gives you five drawers. Wovena tallboy at 114cm and High Gloss at 115cm both get you serious vertical storage in the same 70cm footprint. For maximum storage on a tight wall, the Fluted at 120cm is the one — the tallest tall narrow chest of drawers in the range, and the only one to reach 120cm. Haven and Linra won't work in tight spaces: 93cm wide is too much if the wall run is limited. A tall slim chest of drawers for an alcove under 80cm wide means staying in the 70cm group. For something even smaller, the 4 drawer chest of drawers range also includes 70cm pieces at lower heights if the 114-120cm options feel too tall for the room.

Does the DHS high gloss chest of drawers range extend to a 5-drawer tall option?

It does. The High Gloss Tall Chest of Drawers in this collection is W70cm x D40cm x H115cm with a UV high gloss coating across all five drawer fronts and a handleless 45-degree angled edge as the pull. No handles — the gloss surface just grips under the front lip of each drawer. Available in white, grey, and black, so it covers both the white gloss chest of drawers and the black gloss chest of drawers angles in one product. Drawers are W62.3cm x D29.4cm x H13cm internally, the shallowest in the 5-drawer range. That makes it the right choice for lighter clothing categories, accessories, and smaller bedroom items, rather than the bulky seasonal layers that the Haven and Linra handle better. Anti-tipping brackets included. Even the white chest of drawers' surface wipes clean well with a soft, damp cloth.
