Rank #6 in Best Chest of Drawers 2026: 10 Ranked, and the Depth Figures That Don't Add Up
FWStyle White Gloss 8-Drawer Chest
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The FWStyle white gloss 8-drawer chest is number six in this guide, and it is here because of one field rather than one flaw. The unit is given as 110 cm wide in the product title, in the first bullet, in the Size field and in the Item Dimensions D x W x H field — while a separate Item Dimensions field on the same page reads 40 x 120 x 99 cm. Same listing, 10 cm of disagreement on the width, and nothing on the page to explain which one is right. That is worth measuring against your own wall before ordering.
What is not in dispute: eight drawers arranged 4+4, 40 cm deep, 99 cm tall, engineered wood with a scratch-resistant melamine coating, £109, and 4.3 out of 5 from 220 ratings. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing for this chest, not from a test we ran ourselves — we have not assembled it, measured it or lived with it.
How those 220 ratings break down

I'm new to flat pack building so anyone with more experience will probably be able to do it quicker .It feels sturdy and has plenty of room for my bits and bobs . Overall very pleased with my purchase.”
Verified purchase“Great product for the price and size . It gets delivered in two separate boxes and may be delivered at separate times. You will need a lot of space to assemble this. I did this on my own and had to take a few breaks. I'm pleased with the result. My daughter is going to love it. It is a good quality item and the drawers are so smooth to open.”
