Rank #8 in Best Chest of Drawers 2026: 10 Ranked, and the Depth Figures That Don't Add Up
FOREHILL White 7-Drawer Tall Chest, 119 cm
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The FOREHILL chest of drawers, model M085, is a white flat-packed seven-drawer unit listed at 60 cm wide, 40 cm deep and 119 cm high. It sits at number 8 in our best chests of drawers guide, at £139.99, rated 4.5 out of 5 from 231 ratings at the time of writing. Five of its drawers are wide and two are narrow.
The argument behind the guide is that depth is the figure this category gets wrong most often. On this listing it holds: 40 cm in the bullet text, 40 cm in the size field, 40 cm in the Item Depth field. What does not hold is the review count — the breakdown chart on the same page adds up to 100 reviews, not 231. Everything below is taken from the Amazon listing; we have not bought, built or measured this unit.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Parts are clearly numbered and marked so it made the building of it actually quite straightforward. Fit perfectly in the small space we had so really pleased. Looks like an ikea malm but a smaller version. Drawers are fine, not massive but enough space. Great piece of furniture”
Verified purchase“I'm so glad I went for this chest of drawers instead of the Ikea ones, I didn't want to pay the 40 pound delivery with Ikea so took a chance and ordered this, very very pleased! It took a while to build but all instructions were very clear with step by step diagrams. Highly recommend! Perfect size if you've not got much room in your bedroom also. Can't praise enough 👍🏼”
