Austen 6 Drawer Chest of Drawers - White with Gold

The Austen 6 drawer chest of drawers gives you generous, wide storage in a design drawn from classic Shaker style. Measuring 1215mm wide, 450mm deep and 750mm high, it holds six drawers across an extra-wide frame, so you have room for folded clothing, bedding and everyday bits without crowding. Built from a wood variant with metal handles, it weighs 49kg and arrives in a single box for full assembly.

We make this a practical fit for the bedroom, where the six drawers keep clothes and linen tidy in one place. The wide footprint also suits a landing, a dressing area or a large hallway that needs plenty of closed storage. The white body with a gold-toned handle finish keeps things clean and calm, working alongside painted furniture and neutral walls as easily as it does with darker floors and warmer accents.

The frame pairs a wood variant with metal for the drawer pulls, which carry a brushed brass effect for a soft, low-shine look rather than a bright polish. The panelled fronts and simple lines reflect the Shaker influence across the Austen range, giving a modern feel that stays understated. To care for it, wipe with a damp cloth or run a duster over the surfaces, then dry off any moisture. Avoid harsh sprays and standing water, and lift rather than drag when you move it so the handles and joints stay sound. Full assembly is required on arrival, so allow time and space to build it before loading the drawers.

What is this chest of drawers made from?

The body uses a wood variant and the handles are metal. The pulls have a brushed brass effect, which means a soft gold tone with a low-shine finish rather than solid brass. This mix keeps the piece sturdy while giving the fronts a clean look.

How much storage do the six drawers hold?

At 1215mm wide, this is an extra-wide chest, so the six drawers give you a lot of folded storage. It suits clothing, jumpers, bedding and everyday items, spread across the width so nothing gets over-packed. The wide frame keeps everything within easy reach.

Will it fit in a standard bedroom?

It measures 1215mm wide, 450mm deep and 750mm high, so it needs a fair stretch of wall. Measure your space first, allowing room to pull each drawer fully open. It works well in bedrooms, dressing areas and wide landings that can take the width.

How do I clean and care for it?

Wipe the surfaces with a damp cloth or use a duster for regular upkeep. Dry off any moisture and avoid harsh sprays or standing water. When moving it, lift rather than drag so the handles and joints stay in good order over time.

Does it come assembled?

No, full assembly is required. It arrives in one box weighing 49kg, so allow enough space and time to build it before you load the drawers. Having a second person to help with the wide frame makes the job easier and steadier.
