An increasingly popular choice for ample storage when space is at a premium within your bedroom. This style is affectionately also called the Tallboy or Wellington Chest. Choose from solid oak, painted, reclaimed, ornate, mirrored or mahogany styles to complement and enhance your bedroom.
Do you have a tallboy in your bedroom? We are, of course, talking about your bedroom furniture. Keeping things in your room tidy and organised can be challenging, but well-chosen furniture pieces can make all the difference. Let's discuss the endearing and useful tallboy.
What is a Tallboy?
A tallboy is a style of dresser for clothes storage in your bedroom. They are also called highboys, chests of drawers, or chest-on-chest. But whatever you call it, you'll know a tallboy because they are usually taller than table height and have more drawers vertically than the average bedroom dresser. Their height explains why they're called tall, but where did 'boy' come from? It's a word derived from the French word for wood - bois.
Your tallboy may be broad as well as tall, or it may be relatively slender. They are also available in many styles to suit a variety of bedroom décor.
The Benefits of Choosing a Tallboy
Why would you want a tallboy? Here are some of the benefits of this style of furniture for clothing storage:
- Space-saving, as the drawers are stacked vertically.
- Can hold large amounts of clothing
- It may also be used for books, important papers, jewelry, underwear, etc.
- Differing heights of bedroom furniture are visually appealing.
- Can keep items out of reach of children.
Types of Tallboys
Here are a few of the most popular tallboys available from Oak Furniture House.

One of our most contemporary bedroom furniture pieces is the Aspen Reclaimed 5-Drawer Tall Chest. It is constructed of 100% reclaimed iron and wood and crafted in India.
