JANTAR chest of drawers, 2 doors, 140 cm, plinth base

JANTAR sideboard 140 cm on a plinth: short and dense

The smallest chest in the collection in its quietest form. A continuous timber base, two doors, a band between them, 71 cm of height. Without a gap underneath the piece looks heavier than its hundred and forty centimetres, and that works in its favour: a small chest stops looking accidental.

What it is made of

• two closed compartments behind doors
• plinth in the timber of the carcass
• vertical band: oak, black glass, stone patterned HPL or lighting
• no handles and no hinges on show
• one piece top panel
• rustic oak, lacquered

Who it suits

The hall of a small flat, where the chest is both a shelf for keys and a cupboard for shoes. A bedroom under a window with a low sill. A teenager’s room: closed storage with no handles or projections for clothes to catch on. And as a companion to a JANTAR display cabinet, if everything in the room was taken on plinths.

Size and what fits

It takes 140 cm of wall, reaches 52 cm into the room and stands 71 cm high. The two compartments halve the length. The depth is serious for so short a chest: standard storage boxes go inside, not only flat objects.

How it sits in the room

Seventy one centimetres is the height at which the chest passes under most window sills and does not stop a window opening. In a hall, allow for the depth: half a metre of carcass narrows the passage noticeably and the door should open the other way. The plinth meets the floor tightly, leaving no gap behind the piece.

Materials and finish

The oak is real, solid and as veneer on board. Rustic oak finish under lacquer, plinth in the same timber. Built by MEBIN in Poland, twelve month warranty.
