# Best Chest of Drawers 2026: 10 Ranked, and the Depth Figures That Don't Add Up Source: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-chests-of-drawers Published: 2026-09-15 | Updated: 2026-09-15 | Prices checked on Amazon UK on 2026-09-15 A chest of drawers is bought on its depth, and depth is the number these listings get wrong most often. The CAIYUN 9-drawer page gives its dimensions as 100D x 30W x 98.7H cm — a metre deep and 30 cm wide — which is the width and the depth sitting in each other's slots, repeated identically in two separate fields. The FWStyle gloss 8-drawer unit is quoted as 110 cm wide in one place and 120 cm wide in another, ten centimetres apart, on the same page. The Vida Designs Corona states 40 cm deep in its bullet and 30.5 cm deep in the specification field below it. None of that looks deliberate. It is copy-paste, and it is why you should measure your gap before you order. We ranked ten of the best chest of drawers on Amazon by asking one blunt question of every listing: do the figures agree with each other? Where they do, we weighed drawer count against price, review volume against the spread of star ratings, and the floor footprint against the storage you actually get. Worth noting before you scroll: the joint-cheapest unit here is also the most reviewed, and the most expensive does not have the most drawers. ## The ranking ### 1. Vida Designs Riano 5-Drawer Chest, White - Price: £59.99 | Amazon rating: 4.2 from 6,548 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-chests-of-drawers/vida-designs-riano-drawer-chest - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01LLKJPK8?tag=ranked10-21 The most-reviewed unit here: a 5 drawer chest of drawers with 6,548 ratings at 4.2, and a stated 36 cm depth that matches its own 28 cm drawer measurements. It takes first place on the weight of evidence alone. 6,548 ratings at 4.2 out of 5 is five times the review base of the next most-reviewed wooden option here, and the listing ranks 4th in Bedroom Chest of Drawers. The figures also survive a cross-check: a 36 cm deep carcass, drawers measured internally at 28 cm deep and 67.5 cm wide inside a 75 cm frame, and a 12.5 cm internal height per drawer. In practice that 8 cm gap between carcass depth and drawer depth is exactly what runners and a back panel should occupy, which is more than can be said for several listings further down this page. Five drawers of 12.5 cm suits folded clothing and knitwear, not bedding. It arrives flat-packed in MDF and chipboard at 26.1 kg, with metal handles, metal runners and a quoted anti-bowing drawer support, and assembly is required. However, the 63% five-star share leaves 11 one- and two-star reviews out of 6,548, so the failure rate is small but not zero. It is also the plainest finish in the top five — a white paper veneer and melamine rather than gloss or real wood. If you want furniture that photographs like a showroom piece, or you refuse to build your own, this is not the one. Pros: £59.99 for five drawers, the joint-lowest price in this list; 6,548 ratings at 4.2 out of 5 — by far the largest review base here; Stated 36 cm depth is consistent with 28 cm internal drawer depth plus runners; Melamine finish is wipe-clean and listed as resistant to spills, stains and scratches; Metal handles and runners, plus an anti-bowing drawer support Cons: 11 of the 6,548 reviews are one or two stars; the five-star share is 63%; Arrives flat-packed and needs assembly; 26.1 kg of MDF and chipboard; Plain white veneer and melamine, not gloss and not solid wood; Drawers are only 12.5 cm deep internally, which is shallow for jumpers ### 2. VASAGLE KAILYN 6-Drawer Chest, Snow White - Price: £84.99 | Amazon rating: 4.2 from 1,196 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-chests-of-drawers/vasagle-kailyn-6-drawer-chest - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0F4C5TSBP?tag=ranked10-21 The widest unit under £100 at 119.4 cm across and 40 cm deep, with two anti-tip kits in the box rather than one. Six drawers across 119.4 cm for £84.99 works out at roughly £14 a drawer, from 36 kg of particleboard and MDF. The listing ranks 15th in Bedroom Chest of Drawers and carries 1,196 ratings at 4.2, so the sample is decent if not huge. Depth is a consistent 40 cm in both the size field and the dimension field. The bevelled drawer fronts are the practical detail. There are no handles to catch a hip in a narrow room, and the flat surfaces are specifically described as reducing the risk of bumps. Two anti-tip kits are supplied rather than the usual one, which matters on a unit this wide. The drawers sit on two columns, so each one is narrow enough to open without stepping back. That said, 75 cm is low for a unit this size — you are bending to every drawer, and you cannot use it as a chest for standing dressing. At 36 kg and flat-packed, assembly is a two-person job. Skip it if you want drawers above waist height, or if engineered wood is a dealbreaker. Pros: 119.4 cm wide with six drawers for £84.99 — about £14 a drawer; Two anti-tip kits included for a 1.19 m wide unit; Handleless bevelled fronts mean no protruding knobs in a tight room; Ranks 15th in Bedroom Chest of Drawers with 1,196 ratings at 4.2 Cons: 75 cm tall, so drawer access is low and it works more like a sideboard; 36 kg, flat-packed and requiring assembly; Particleboard and MDF throughout, not solid timber; 119.4 cm width will not fit many alcoves or chimney-breast gaps ### 3. LYNCOHOME 9-Drawer Fabric Chest, Sepia Print - Price: £69.99 | Amazon rating: 4.6 from 2,092 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-chests-of-drawers/lyncohome-9-drawer-fabric-chest - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09Z1T8CTP?tag=ranked10-21 The best-rated unit here with a four-figure review count: 4.6 from 2,092 ratings, and only 14.9 kg. A fabric chest of drawers at 100 cm wide, 29.8 cm deep and 100 cm tall, weighing 14.9 kg. Nine drawers for £69.99, with 2,092 ratings at 4.6 — 76% of them five stars, and just five one- and two-star reviews in total. That is the strongest review profile in this group. In practice the low weight comes from the construction: a metal frame, a wooden top panel, and non-woven fabric drawers. Fabric drawers need no metal runners, which means almost the whole 29.8 cm of depth is usable rather than partly given over to hardware. Adjustable feet deal with uneven floors, and the wooden top is rated for a TV. Even so, the listing recommends light items, and that is the honest limit of a fabric drawer. It will not hold the shape of a loaded wardrobe the way a wooden-fronted drawer does, and the sepia print will not wipe clean like melamine. Buy it for a spare room, a rental or wardrobe overflow — not as a piece you plan to keep for twenty years. Pros: 4.6 from 2,092 ratings — the best score here with a four-figure review count; 14.9 kg, the lightest full-height unit in this top ten; Nine drawers on a 100 cm width, with adjustable feet; Metal frame and wooden top; the listing rates the top for a TV Cons: Fabric drawers, with the listing recommending lightweight items only; 29.8 cm depth is shallow for bedding or bulky knitwear; Sepia fabric will not wipe clean the way a melamine finish does; Fabric drawers do not run on metal runners, so heavy loads drag ### 4. Vida Designs Corona 5-Drawer Pine Chest - Price: £109.99 | Amazon rating: 4.0 from 1,272 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-chests-of-drawers/vida-designs-corona-5-drawer - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01M5H7RVZ?tag=ranked10-21 The only solid-wood unit in the top five, but its depth is published as both 40 cm and 30.5 cm inside the same listing. Solid pine, distressed and waxed, 80 cm wide, 90 cm tall and 22.5 kg for £109.99. It also gives its depth twice and contradicts itself: 40 cm in the product bullet and in the dimension field, 30.5 cm in the Item Depth field. That 9.5 cm gap is the difference between fitting an alcove and blocking a doorway, so it is the first thing to confirm before ordering. Anyone buying a wooden chest of drawers at this price is buying the grain and the repairability rather than a flawless surface. The listing specifies a dry cloth for cleaning, which tells you the wax finish is not a wipe-down-with-anything proposition. Soft-close runners and a storage drawer are listed as features, and the box needs 40 cm of door width to get through a frame. However, 4.0 from 1,272 ratings is the lowest average in this top ten, and 13 of those reviews are one-star. It ranks 111th in Bedroom Chest of Drawers. Crucially, you cannot order this one from the page alone — ask the seller which depth applies to the unit they will ship. Pros: Solid distressed waxed pine at 22.5 kg, not engineered board; Soft-close runners and a storage drawer are listed as features; £109.99 for a genuine timber chest, with repairable surfaces; Pine is the only solid-wood option in the top five of this ranking Cons: 4.0 from 1,272 ratings — the lowest average here, with 13 one-star reviews; Depth given as both 40 cm and 30.5 cm within the same listing; Waxed pine needs a dry cloth only and will mark with liquid; Ranks 111th in Bedroom Chest of Drawers, the lowest rank in this list ### 5. FOREHILL White 6-Drawer Sideboard, 133 cm - Price: £169.99 | Amazon rating: 4.3 from 486 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-chests-of-drawers/forehill-white-6-drawer-chest - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BG2G1LPW?tag=ranked10-21 The largest and most expensive unit here at 133 cm wide and 45.4 kg — and the only one whose dimensions agree across every field. At 133 cm wide, 45 cm deep and 79.5 cm tall, this is the biggest unit in the ranking and the heaviest at 45.4 kg. It costs £169.99, the highest price here. Its numbers agree everywhere: the bullet, the size field and the dimension field all say 45 cm deep and 133 cm wide. After three listings that could not agree on their own depth, that consistency is worth something. Six drawers across 133 cm means each one is wide and shallow, which suits folded shirts and bedding. The runners are white metal, the painted surface is described as waterproof and moisture-proof, and an anti-tipping device is fitted to the back. The raised base and tall feet make the white chest of drawers easier to clean under than a flush-to-floor carcass. The catch is the sample size. 486 ratings at 4.3 is thin next to the Riano's 6,548, and 12 of them are one or two stars. At £169.99 and 45.4 kg it is a two-person delivery and a long-term decision. If your wall is under 1.4 m of usable space, or you want drawers above 80 cm, look elsewhere. Pros: 133 cm wide with six large drawers — the biggest capacity in this ranking; Every dimension field agrees: 45D x 133W x 79.5H cm; Painted waterproof and moisture-proof surface with an anti-tipping device; Ranks 102nd in Bedroom Chest of Drawers; 70% of reviews are five stars Cons: £169.99, the highest price in this top ten; 45.4 kg — heavy to move and awkward to reposition once built; 79.5 cm tall, so it is sideboard height rather than a tallboy; Only 486 ratings, a smaller evidence base than cheaper units here ### 6. FWStyle White Gloss 8-Drawer Chest - Price: £109.00 | Amazon rating: 4.3 from 220 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-chests-of-drawers/fwstyle-white-gloss-8-drawer - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0D793P6TL?tag=ranked10-21 Eight drawers for £109.00, but the width is published as 110 cm in one field and 120 cm in another. An 8 drawer chest of drawers arranged 4+4, with white gloss drawer fronts on a matt white carcass, 99 cm tall and 40 cm deep. The width does not agree with itself: 110 cm in the title, the bullet and the size field, then 120 cm in the Item Dimensions field. Ten centimetres is a doorway or a shelf, so measure the gap before you buy rather than after. Each drawer has a strengthening bar underneath to stop the base bowing, and the finish is scratch-resistant melamine that is easy to wipe down. Recessed lip handles give a handle-free look without the bevelled fronts of the VASAGLE. Meanwhile the build tells you what to expect: 54 kg, delivered in two boxes, self-assembly with a screwdriver and a small hammer. That said, 220 ratings at 4.3 is a thin track record, and 10 of those are one- or two-star. Gloss drawer fronts show fingermarks in a way matt finishes do not. And two boxes arriving on different days is a genuine irritation. Skip it if what you actually want is deep drawers — eight drawers inside 99 cm are necessarily shallow. Pros: Eight drawers, arranged 4+4, for £109.00; Recessed lip handles mean no protruding knobs on the drawer fronts; Scratch-resistant melamine finish; each drawer has a strengthening bar; 40 cm deep and 99 cm tall, with metal runners on all eight drawers Cons: Width quoted as both 110 cm and 120 cm on the same product page; 54 kg delivered in two boxes, with self-assembly required; 220 ratings is a small sample and 10 of them are one or two stars; Gloss drawer fronts show marks more than matt surfaces ### 7. Buluri 12-Drawer Fabric Tallboy, White - Price: £59.99 | Amazon rating: 4.6 from 245 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-chests-of-drawers/buluri-12-drawer-fabric-chest - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DGTP8GPL?tag=ranked10-21 Twelve drawers on a 98.6 cm footprint for £59.99, ranking 7th in Bedroom Chest of Drawers. Twelve drawers in three different sizes on a 98.6 cm width and a 30.2 cm depth, standing 113.3 cm tall at 16 kg. It costs £59.99 — the same price as the five-drawer Riano for seven more drawers. The product highlight rounds those figures to 99 cm and 30 cm rather than contradicting them, which is a small point in its favour. The frame is metal, the top is waterproof wood, and an anti-tipping kit is included. The detail nothing else here offers is 4 side pockets and 2 hooks, genuinely useful on a tall chest of drawers where the side panel is otherwise dead space. The listing claims a 30-minute build; with 16 kg and numbered parts, that is believable. In practice, this is fabric, not wood. Drawers will lose shape if you overfill them, and the three drawer sizes mean accessories have to be sorted to fit. The catch is the depth: 30.2 cm is shallow for anything bulkier than folded T-shirts. 4.6 from 245 ratings is good, but it is a far smaller sample than the 2,092 behind the LYNCOHOME. Pros: Twelve drawers in three sizes for £59.99 — the most drawers per pound here; 4 side pockets and 2 hooks, storage no other unit in this list has; 16 kg and numbered parts, with a claimed 30-minute assembly; Ranks 7th in Bedroom Chest of Drawers; 4.6 from 245 ratings Cons: Fabric drawers on a 30.2 cm depth — shallow for bulky items; 245 ratings is a much smaller sample than the leading units; 113.3 cm tall, so the anti-tip kit needs to be fixed to a wall; Three different drawer sizes mean not every drawer fits every item ### 8. FOREHILL White 7-Drawer Tall Chest, 119 cm - Price: £139.99 | Amazon rating: 4.5 from 231 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-chests-of-drawers/forehill-7-drawer-chest - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CTCP3TWC?tag=ranked10-21 A 60 cm footprint carrying 119 cm of storage, with every internal drawer dimension published. Sixty centimetres wide, 40 cm deep, 119 cm tall, 39 kg, £139.99. Seven drawers split five large at 51.9 x 34.8 x 11.8 cm and two small at 22.7 x 35 x 11.8 cm. That is the most complete drawer specification in this group — every internal size is on the page, so you know before ordering whether your folded jeans fit. The narrow 60 cm width suits a bedroom storage drawers role in a room where a 133 cm sideboard would never go, and 119 cm of height gives it a tallboy's storage in a corner. An anti-tipping device is fitted to the back, which is essential at this height, and the angled slotted handles keep the front face flush. That said, £139.99 is more than the 12-drawer Buluri and the 9-drawer LYNCOHOME cost together at £129.98. By contrast with those fabric units, you are paying for wood and 39 kg of it. With 231 ratings at 4.5 and only five one- or two-star reviews, the evidence is thin but positive. Skip it if 60 cm of width and 119 cm of height in the same corner is more than your room can take. Pros: Five 51.9 x 34.8 x 11.8 cm drawers and two 22.7 x 35 x 11.8 cm drawers, all published; 60 cm wide with 119 cm of height — fits narrow gaps other units cannot; 4.5 from 231 ratings, with only five one- or two-star reviews; Anti-tipping device fitted; slotted handles sit flush to the front Cons: £139.99 — more than the Buluri and LYNCOHOME fabric units combined; 39 kg of wood, flat-packed and self-assembled; 231 ratings is a small sample for a £140 purchase; 119 cm tall with a 60 cm base, so wall fixing is not optional ### 9. Finnhomy Rattan 6-Drawer Tall Chest, Natural - Price: £85.99 | Amazon rating: 4.2 from 143 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-chests-of-drawers/finnhomy-rattan-chest-of-drawers - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0D52HCX88?tag=ranked10-21 The tallest unit here at 124.5 cm on a 40 cm square footprint, but with the smallest review sample of the ten. Forty centimetres wide, 39.5 cm deep and 124.5 cm tall — the tallest thing in this ranking and one of the narrowest. Six drawers, 26 kg, £85.99. It ranks 105th in Bedroom Chest of Drawers with 143 ratings at 4.2. Hand-woven natural rattan fronts on an MDF carcass, with solid wood legs and an anti-tipping device. It is the only rattan option here, and rattan on a 40 cm width does something engineered board cannot: it looks deliberate rather than plain. In practice, 40 cm of width and 124.5 cm of height means the drawers are narrow but deep, which suits folded tops and accessories rather than bedding. Anti-tip fixing is supplied and needed at this height. However, 143 ratings is the thinnest sample in the top ten, and 12 of them are one or two stars — roughly one in twelve. Worth noting too that the listing itself mentions replacing parts for customers who got in touch and exchanging replacements for later orders. That is a manufacturer being open about a problem, but it is also a reason to check the drawers on arrival. Pros: 124.5 cm tall on a 40 x 39.5 cm footprint — the smallest floor area here; Hand-woven natural rattan drawer fronts with solid wood legs; Anti-tipping device included for a tall, narrow unit; £85.99 for six drawers, and the only rattan option in this ranking Cons: 143 ratings is the smallest sample in the top ten, with 12 one- or two-star; The listing mentions a parts replacement and exchange programme; MDF carcass rather than solid timber throughout; 124.5 cm tall on a 40 cm base, so it must be fixed to the wall ### 10. CAIYUN 9-Drawer Fabric Dresser, Rustic Brown - Price: £69.99 | Amazon rating: 4.4 from 218 ratings - Full review: https://www.ranked10.co.uk/home/best-chests-of-drawers/caiyun-9-drawer-fabric-dresser - Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CDBQ891Q?tag=ranked10-21 Nine drawers for £69.99, and the listing that prompted this article: its dimensions read 100 cm deep and 30 cm wide. The dimension field reads 100D x 30W x 98.7H cm. That describes a unit a metre front to back and 30 cm wide — the width and the depth have been entered in each other's slots. Both the size field and the Item Dimensions field repeat the same figures, so it is not a slip in one place. Either way, one of the two numbers on that page is wrong, and 100 cm of depth would not clear most bedroom doorways. Nine drawers on three shelves for £69.99, weighing 14 kg, with 4.4 from 218 ratings. It ranks 24th in Bedroom Chest of Drawers — the second-best rank in this list after the Riano's 4th. The fabric drawers hang in a metal frame, so the whole unit is light enough to move on your own and to assemble without help. That said, the warranty field simply reads "No warranty." Fabric drawers in a metal frame are a rental-flat answer, not a hand-me-down. In short, measure the space you have and treat the stated 100 cm as the unreliable figure it is before you order this one. Pros: Ranks 24th in Bedroom Chest of Drawers — the second-best rank here; 14 kg for a nine-drawer unit, easy to move and assemble alone; £69.99 for nine drawers and three shelves, with 4.4 from 218 ratings; Metal frame construction; the listing shows the drawers as non-woven fabric Cons: Dimensions published as 100 cm deep and 30 cm wide, repeated in two fields; The warranty field states "No warranty."; Fabric drawers at 14 kg, so light loads only; 218 ratings is a small sample for a unit this cheap ## Verdict For most homes, the Vida Designs Riano 5 drawer chest of drawers at £59.99 is the straightforward buy — 6,548 ratings, a 4.2 average, and a stated 36 cm depth that matches its own 28 cm drawer measurements. If you need maximum drawer count on minimum floor space, the Buluri 12-drawer fabric tallboy gives you twelve drawers on a 98.6 cm width for £59.99, though the 30.2 cm depth limits what each drawer holds; the LYNCOHOME nine-drawer is the better-evidenced alternative at 4.6 from 2,092 ratings. And if you want solid timber and can accept a lower score, the pine Corona chest of drawers at £109.99 carries a 4.0 average and 13 one-star reviews out of 1,272 — confirm its depth with the seller before you commit, because the page gives you two different answers.
