Many UK bedrooms have chimney breast alcoves measuring 40 to 55cm deep, spaces that are too shallow for a full wardrobe but well-suited to a chest of drawers. At exactly 40cm deep, the DHS bedroom chest of drawers fits into most standard alcoves flush with the chimney breast face, creating a built-in appearance without bespoke joinery. The 115cm width may need to be checked against the specific alcove width, but the depth is compatible with the majority of Victorian and Edwardian terraced house alcoves. Even outside alcoves, 40cm depth preserves walkway clearance in a compact bedroom more effectively than units at 45 to 50cm, which push further into the floor space beside the bed.
