About This Style

The Twickenham Oak Chest of Drawers is a wide, low chest: two banks of four drawers side by side under a single long top, in a light oak woodgrain with round knobs. It is the chest for the wall under a window, where height is limited and width is not, and it holds a whole wardrobe of folded clothes.

Made to your wall in our Wembley workshop on a solid-back carcass with full-extension soft-close drawers, delivered assembled and fitted by our own team, with a 10-year guarantee.

Bespoke Chest of Drawers

Twickenham Oak Chest of Drawers

The Twickenham is the chest for the space under a window. At about 800mm high its top sits below most sills, and at 1.2 to 1.6 metres wide it takes the wall from side to side, so the room gains eight drawers and a long surface where a taller chest would have blocked the light.

The oak is a light, straight-grained woodgrain that runs horizontally across all eight fronts, and the round knobs sit in a line down the centre of each bank. The plinth is recessed so the chest reads as a floating block rather than a box on the floor.

How it works: two drawer banks share one carcass with a centre divider, so the long top is supported at three points and does not sag. Each drawer is a 16mm solid-sided box on full-extension soft-close runners rated for 30kg, and the top drawers are shallower for small things with the deep drawers below.

Designed for a wide wall

A wide chest replaces two narrow ones with a single top and a single line of knobs, which is calmer in a room and more useful on the surface. The Twickenham is drawn to the exact width of your wall, so it fits between a wardrobe and a wall or under a window with no gap either side.

Designed for the room: the chest can be made any width from 1.0 to 2.0 metres, the knobs can be bars, the top can be a stone or a solid timber, and the same oak can face the wardrobes beside it.

Built for everyday use: every drawer front is banded on all four edges, the runners are full-extension so the back of the drawer is reached, and the chest is fixed to the wall with a concealed anti-tip bracket.

Manufactured in our Wembley workshop

The Twickenham is cut and built in our HA9 Wembley factory to the width of your wall, with the drawers fitted and adjusted before delivery.

Quality you can rely on: your Metro fitted furniture comes with a 10-year guarantee covering parts and labour.

“It is Very good for Metro Kitchens, I order made to measure of wardrobe, it is very nice and the staffs very professional, they do a great job.”

Phoebe CheungGoogle review

“Excellent Job from Metro Wardrobes. Not cheap but you definitely get your money worth, plus a 10 year guarantee. The builder Kinjal along with his colleague Naitik performed very well and completed essentially everything in one day. They had to come back the next day to install handles to drawers and doors as my personal selection was not available in time but they came in within 24hrs of the wardrobe installation. Happy with everything and hopefully I will not need to use the guarantee.”

ReggieGoogle review

“They’ve done a great job from start to finish. I’ve had to deal with so many builders, handymen etc. due to a complete house refurbishment and I can honestly say Metro was one of the rarest ones that didn’t cause any headache. We’ve asked them to a wardrobe for the porch and a shoe cabinet opposite to that one but the shoe cabinet area wasn’t ready to be installed yet at the time of delivery so they’ve come back again after a few weeks and completed everything perfectly. I’d like to thank especially the last installation team, sorry don’t know their names.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Twickenham Oak Chest of Drawers FAQs

What is the Twickenham Oak Chest of Drawers?

A wide, low chest of eight drawers in two banks of four under one long top, in light oak with round knobs, made to the width of your wall in our Wembley workshop and delivered assembled.

Will it fit under my window?

That is what it is for. At about 800mm high its top clears most sills, and it is made to the exact width of the wall so there is no gap at either side. Your designer measures the sill and the wall at the visit.

What goes in the shallow drawers?

The small things: underwear, socks, belts, jewellery in a tray. The deep drawers below take jumpers, jeans and bedding. The split is set to what you own rather than a standard drawer height.

Can I have it in another finish?

Yes. Any of our woodgrains or painted colours, with round knobs or bar handles in brass, black or nickel, and a stone or solid timber top where it doubles as a dressing surface.

How is it delivered and fitted?

Within 21 days of the order being confirmed. Delivered assembled and levelled in place by our own fitters in about an hour, and fixed to the wall with a concealed bracket where it stands against one.
