Bring calm and order to your bedroom with a chest of drawers that combines smart storage with beautiful design. At The Furniture Gallery, our collection of chests of drawers in Perth is crafted from quality materials and designed to complement any bedroom style. Whether you need a compact piece for a smaller room or a generous tallboy for a master suite, find exactly what your space needs.
Chest of Drawers, Tallboy, or Dresser: Which One Do You Need?
These terms are often used interchangeably, but each serves a slightly different purpose. Understanding the difference helps you choose the right piece for your room.
Chest of Drawers
A classic chest of drawers is wider than it is tall, typically offering three to six drawers in a compact, low profile. It suits most bedroom layouts and provides a generous top surface for lamps, mirrors, and styling. A versatile everyday choice.
Tallboy
A tallboy is narrower and taller, making it ideal for bedrooms where floor space is limited. It draws the eye upward and delivers substantial drawer storage without a wide footprint. A smart fit for compact rooms and children's bedrooms.
Dresser
A dresser is wider than a standard chest, with multiple drawers and a broad, generous surface that works beautifully with a mirror above. It suits larger bedrooms and master suites where a statement storage piece is the natural centrepiece of the room.

A chest of drawers is just the beginning. Pair it with a queen bed or king bed for a complete bedroom suite, or add matching bedside tables for a fully considered room. Beyond the bedroom, explore our sofas, lounges, and chaises to bring the same quality and style through to your living spaces. The Furniture Gallery has everything you need to furnish your home from one place, with pieces that are designed to work beautifully together.
How to Choose the Right Chest of Drawers
- Measure your space first: Allow clearance around the piece for drawer opening and comfortable movement through the room.
- Think about storage needs: A couple sharing a room will likely need more drawers than a single occupant. Drawer depth also matters for bulkier items like linen and knitwear.
- Match the material or tone: Pieces do not need to match exactly, but they should feel cohesive. Shared timber tones or hardware finishes tie a room together naturally.
- Consider the surface: If you plan to use the top for a lamp, mirror, or decor, choose a piece with a wider, more generous surface.
Caring for Your Chest of Drawers
- Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth
- Wipe spills promptly to protect timber and painted surfaces
- Use a tray or mat on the surface to protect against moisture from vases and diffusers
- Use a timber care product periodically on solid wood pieces to maintain the finish
- Avoid overfilling drawers to protect runners and joints over time

Frequently Asked Questions
How many drawers do I need?
For a single person, three to four drawers are usually sufficient. For a couple sharing a bedroom, six or more provides better organisation.
Should my chest match my bed frame?
It does not have to match exactly. Keep the look cohesive by sharing a similar material, tone, or hardware finish.
Do I need to secure a tallboy to the wall?
Yes. Tall units can tip when drawers are open, especially around children. Use anti-tip fittings or wall brackets.
Can a chest of drawers be used outside the bedroom?
Yes. It works well in hallways or home offices. Choose a size and style that suits the space.
What height should a chest or tallboy be?
Choose a height that is practical for daily use and allows easy access to the drawers.
