Devon 5 Drawer Chest of Drawers – White

The Devon 5 Drawer Chest is a five-drawer chest of drawers with a clean white painted body and a contrasting oak-effect top. Turned metal knobs and a plinth base give it a soft country feel that works in most homes. It measures 790mm wide, 395mm deep and 1119mm tall, so it holds a good amount of clothing while keeping a compact footprint. The five drawers stack in a practical layout, with room for folded jumpers, socks and smaller items across the smaller top pair.

These bedroom drawers suit a main bedroom, a spare room or a child's room, and the height makes the top a handy spot for a lamp, a framed photo or a small tray. The White finish keeps things bright and easy to pair, so it settles into a country scheme just as happily as a plainer, more modern one. If you want a single chest of drawers to carry the bulk of your storage, or a matching piece to sit alongside a wardrobe, this one earns its place.

The body is painted in a matt white, while the oak-effect top adds warmth and hard-wearing cover for daily use. Note that the top is a wood-effect finish rather than solid oak. It arrives flat packed in one box for home assembly, and the assembled weight is 41.7kg, so a helping hand is useful. Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth and avoid harsh cleaners that can mark the paint. For styling, keep the top simple with one or two pieces so the two tones do the work, and repeat the oak note elsewhere in the room to tie it together.

Is the top made from real oak?

No. The top has an oak-effect finish, which is a wood-effect surface designed to look like oak. It gives the warm tone and hard-wearing cover of timber without being solid oak. The body of the chest is painted white, so you get the two-tone look at a practical everyday price.

How do I clean and care for it?

Wipe both the painted body and the oak-effect top with a soft, dry cloth. For marks, use a barely damp cloth and dry straight away. Avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners and strong solvents, as these can dull the paint and the top finish over time. Keep it out of direct heat and standing water.

What will fit in the drawers?

The five drawers suit folded clothing such as jumpers, t-shirts and trousers, while the smaller top drawers work well for socks, underwear and accessories. At 790mm wide and 395mm deep, the chest holds a good volume without taking up much floor space in a bedroom.

Does it need assembling?

Yes. The chest arrives flat packed in one box for home assembly. You will need basic tools and, given the assembled weight of 41.7kg, a second person makes the job easier and safer. Follow the supplied instructions and tighten all fixings before loading the drawers.

Will it match other bedroom furniture?

The White body with an oak-effect top pairs easily with both country and plainer modern schemes. Repeat the oak tone in a bedside table, headboard or shelf to tie the room together, and keep other pieces simple so the two tones on the chest stand out.
