Wooden Chest of Drawers

Looking for a wooden chest of drawers that doesn’t blend into the wallpaper? At Smithers, we don’t do boring. Our chests of drawers come loaded with attitude – retro industrial designs in solid mango wood, vintage-inspired tallboys with steel trim, and apothecary-style cabinets that look like they’ve been lifted straight off a Van Helsing set. This is standout storage for homes that refuse to play it safe.

Forget flat-pack. Forget flimsy. Every Smithers chest of drawers is crafted from real, heavyweight wood – the kind that lasts decades, not months. Whether you’re dressing up a Shoreditch loft, a classic townhouse bedroom, or a modern apartment, these pieces bring character and durability in one hit.

Why Choose a Wooden Chest of Drawers?

A good wooden chest of drawers is the backbone of stylish storage. Unlike chipboard or MDF, solid wood holds its shape, wears in beautifully, and actually improves with age.

Our pieces are made from mango wood, oak, reclaimed timbers, and other quality materials that stand the test of time. You get:

• Durability – built for daily use without sagging drawers or wobbly frames.
• Style that lasts – a natural wood grain never goes out of fashion.
• Sustainability – we work with reclaimed and responsibly sourced woods, so your furniture isn’t just good-looking, it’s conscious too.

If you’re investing in storage, invest in something that’s going to hold up – in style and substance.

The Smithers Twist on Classic Storage

We’re not interested in cookie-cutter furniture. Our wooden chests of drawers are designed to surprise. Think industrial chests with riveted steel corners, antique-style apothecary cabinets with rows of little drawers, and story-book inspired designs that look like they’ve walked out of a fairytale.

That’s the Smithers twist – furniture that feels cinematic, a little rebellious, but always functional. Storage doesn’t have to be square and boring.

Styles for Every Space

Not every home needs the same chest of drawers, which is why our collection spans across styles:

• Tallboys – slim and vertical, perfect for small bedrooms or narrow hallways.

• Apothecary Chests – drawers galore, ideal for collectors, creatives, and anyone who loves organisation with a vintage edge.

• Bedroom Chests of Drawers – classic 3-drawer and 6-drawer models that balance storage with timeless good looks.

• Industrial Drawers – wood and steel combinations that fit into modern lofts, manly dens, or urban apartments.

Wherever you need storage – bedroom, hallway, office, or living space – we’ve got a chest to match.

Craftsmanship That Lasts

Every chest is built with care in our workshops. Many pieces are made from mango wood – prized for its golden hues and durability – or reclaimed wood, which comes loaded with character, history, and a sustainability edge. Steel accents, hand-finished patinas, and artisanal carpentry give each chest its own personality.

This isn’t throwaway furniture. This is storage with soul.
