The story

For a bedroom wall that has room for height, not length.

Not every bedroom has a long wall for a dresser. The Boissière Chest stacks its storage instead: four wide drawers in a single column, on a front as tall as it is wide, so it fits beside a wardrobe, between two windows or in the corner across from the bed.

The top and the drawer fronts are solid acacia built from short staves, lighter and darker pieces side by side, in a warm amber-brown finish. A slim black pull runs along the top of each drawer, and at each end a shaped side frame turns down into two splayed legs, so the chest stands clear of the floor and the room keeps its light.

The design

Three details that make the Boissière chest.

The Boissière chest is an upright box of warm wood on an open, splayed base. Three details hold it together.

The top and the four drawer fronts are solid acacia in a warm amber-brown finish, built from short staves of lighter and darker wood. A slim matte black edge pull runs along the top of each drawer.

At 40.9 inches wide and 41.3 inches high, it suits a narrower wall, the space beside a wardrobe or the corner by a window, with room on top for a lamp and a tray. It belongs to the Boissière collection.

Will it fit?

Height 41.3″ 105 cm

Planning tip. The Boissière Chest is 40.9" W x 17.7" D x 41.3" H (104 x 45 x 105 cm). Plan on about 4 ft (1.2 m) of wall so it has a little space on each side, and leave about 36" (90 cm) clear in front so you can pull a drawer out and still stand at it. At 41.3" (105 cm) high, its top is a comfortable height for a lamp and a tray; hang a mirror or a piece of art about 8-10" (20-25 cm) above it.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

What is it made of?

The top and the four drawer fronts are solid acacia in a warm amber-brown finish. MDF with acacia veneer, plywood and rubberwood are also used, the pulls are matte black metal, and the plywood back is unfinished, so it is meant to stand against a wall.

How big are the drawers?

Each of the four drawers is 36" W x 13.25" D x 4.75" H inside (91 x 34 x 12 cm), and they run on metal slides.

Is it part of a collection?

Yes. It belongs to the Boissière collection, with the bed, the nightstand and the six-drawer dresser. The photos on this page show this chest's own warm amber-brown finish.

Is assembly required?

Yes. It arrives in one box and weighs 169.8 lb (77 kg), so plan on two people.
