White Chest of Drawers

More Chest of Drawer pondering now as this time we are looking at White Chest of Drawers.

There are broadly speaking three main styles of White Furniture.

1. Traditional
2. Shabby Chic
3. French Style

Let us consider each in turn and then look at the best place to buy to get a good cheap deal or as marketing types would like to put it a deal that offers good value.

Traditional White Furniture - This is a broad term but generally the best quality would be available in Solid Pine which is then painted, ranges like Devonshire Tarka Painted can be found an independent furniture stores across the UK. It is actually Tarka Painted in the picture. A tighter budget and you are then going to be looking at Flat Packed MDF, you can actually get some very high quality flat packed solid furniture which does sit price wise between the two. Mainly Argos or at a push Ikea might be options here.

Shabby Chic Furniture - Over recent years this has grown in popularity, one of these ranges is the aptly named Shabby Chic Collection from Oak Furniture Land. All of OakFurnitureLands offer is made from Solid Hardwood and that is a clear statement of quality.

The collection is actually made from Solid Mango and price wise we rather doubt you will find cheaper for the quality when it comes to shopping for Shabby Chic Chest of Drawers, is it me but I always type Shabby Chich!

OFL now have furniture shops right across the UK so actually viewing this range should be achievable by almost everyone in the UK.

Other sources would be mostly independents although we have seen some furniture collections of this style in more mainstream stores like Marks and Spencer's and John Lewis.

French Style Furniture - A French style Chest of Drawers would be quite ornate with maybe even Queen Anne style feet and lots of scrolls.

The one shown is from the PD Global collection and normally gets sold under the Bergere name, so a quick search for bergere Chest of Drawers should produce the required results.

This is not the only option and one big furniture name in this sector is going to be Juliette Interriors who not so long ago were on Dragons Den.

They have done quite well since offering a vast array of French Style Furniture and of course a French style chest of drawers!

Well that is a summary of the main styles of White Chest of Drawers it is not a comprehensive list but does cover the three main styles.

When looking for a good deal it is always a good idea to look for Clearance Offers or the Sales. Although the furniture industry normally discounts quite heavily in January you can often get a deal through the rest of the year by looking for voucher codes.

Chest of Drawers Ideas

The chest was a basic piece of bedroom furniture around the world. This functional piece adds storage capacity while also providing a photo display area and a home for trinkets and so on. Over the years however, this piece has fallen into a little routine as far as the design is concerned. It just seems now to be a little, what can you say bored. There are alternatives to these boring pieces of bedroom furniture that can add some style and elegance at the same time serve the purpose of storage. Here are some ideas on variations.

The lingerie chest is a tall, narrow set of drawers that is ideal for a piece of extra storage or for those who only require minimal storage. This chest normally has seven drawers stacked one above the other, seven drawers representing the days of the week, a variation on the Wellington chest if you like. While the lingerie chest was designed to store undergarments and such it can serve many other purposes. Thanks to its slim and compact design, the chest is ideal for rooms with limited space such as bedrooms and smaller rooms.

Another option is the somewhat bizarrely named mule chest. The mule chest has a standard configuration, really, but it is often defined by a small square storage area with a door instead of a drawer. This area of ​​the door can be set to the centre of the piece or in one of the top corners. This configuration leads to the piece that has a few drawers of different sizes and gives a bit of an antique or handmade look, this style is nicely suited to a distressed finish. Mule chests are usually larger than standard chests and they can work well in the living room as well as the bedroom.

Finally, a media cabinet could be just the job to organize your CDs and video games, or to house the TV or even a computer. Like the mule chest, there is no set design for the cabinet of the media, it is often referred to as an AV cabinet these styles of cabinets have perhaps the most diverse range of materials.

Cheap Chest of Drawers

A very common query is where to buy Cheap Chest of Drawers first though you would need to establish exactly what you mean by cheap. The word cheap in marketing is often thought to be be a no go, it is like a golden rule never ever call your product cheap, most companies would prefer terms like competitive price or attractively priced, personally I would pefer a term like best value.


Despite the marketing industry hating the word it remains a key term that people will type into Google when looking for a product to buy. So what exactly are consumers looking for when they type cheap furniture. I would assume generally that they would be looking to buy furniture but they would be on a strict budget.

Our aim to help users find the item their looking for and so we thought we would look at an item like a Three Drawer Chest of Drawers and the best price you can obtain this item for.

Would you beleive one of the most competative items is the one found in the picture when you can pick up at Argos for £33.29. Now it has to be said this is cheap, some might say Cheap and nasty buy come on under £34 it is hardly going to come with Dovetailed joints and be a solid hardwood.

If you want to move up in quality and still keep around the same price point then it would seem your best bet is to try a style like Mexican Pine Furniture, which can be seen on the set of Shameless in the Macquires kitchen, which may or may not be selling it!

Pine or Oak Furniture

Stumbled along an interesting web page discussing the difference between Oak and Pine wood Pine Oak Furniture, The web page that I came across is very informative and provided me with an insight and information that I was unaware about.

Oak does lead the way when it comes to the hardness of the wood, as Pine is a soft wood it is more susceptible to knocks and dents. Oak can be slightly more expensive but the quality does shine through with a beautiful grain and sleek design and contemporary style. Pine is cheaper than Oak but has a more traditional look and style to it. With both completely different styles and appearances it can sometimes be difficult to decide take a look and see what you think.

Chest of Drawers in the Sales

Been looking around at various Chest of Drawers and still Oak Furniture Land remain the best although I see that Right Price now have a similar offer. Devonshire, a firm favourite for many years seemed to have priced themselves out of the market, which is a surprise given their lead for so long.

Also notice that Furniture Today have gone bankrupt which was an online distributor of Devonshire Pine. So a few years ago they had a fantastic online presence in Pine Solutions, Right Price Furniture and Furniture Today and now they have nothing.

I assume they think that the furniture market is going to stay traditional but having seen the amazing growth of Oak Furniture Land I cannot see the market changing now.

The old favourites still offer something like Furniture Village and Harvey s but their prices for what you get are not exactly jaw dropping.

Solid Oak Chest of Drawers Review

So looking around for a Solid Oak Chest of Drawers what is the best deal.

Before looking at candidates we can quickly rule out many of the offerings from the normal big stores.

First up offer from Indigo and their Riven range, it looks solid oak and there are some detail shots which support that claim.

Riven Oak Three Drawer Chest of Drawers Price: £649

Looked at quite a few others and certainly Devonshire Pine would have been on the radar prior to their internet decline overall though after looking at Oak Furniture Land we have a winner:-

Oak Furniture Land Rivermead Oak Three plus One Drawer Chest of Drawers 
Price: £299.88

That price for Solid Oak cannot be beaten!
