About the Bergen 5 Drawer Narrow Chest of Drawers
Last checked
The Bergen 5 Drawer Narrow Chest of Drawers is built around a tall, space-saving brief: five stacked drawers in a narrow format, intended to add vertical storage without taking over the wall like a wide low chest. Five drawers earn their footprint here. That makes the storage layout more generous than the shape suggests, but it is generous in layers rather than in drawer span; compared with a broad chest, this style is better for folded tops, nightwear, accessories and lighter everyday clothing than bulky knitwear or spare bedding. This is honest flat-pack storage. A narrow five-drawer unit at this tier is typically cost-engineered around self-assembly panels and drawer runners, not the thicker carcass, factory alignment and pre-built rigidity found in higher-priced assembled cabinet furniture. Positive reviews describe the unit as smart once built, with a colour that reads somewhere between oak and driftwood grey, so the finish sits in the modern rustic register rather than a glossy contemporary one. The practical caveat is that drawer alignment and final stability depend heavily on the build going square, the fixings seating cleanly, and enough glue being used during assembly.
Used beside a divan, in a compact double room or as extra storage alongside a wardrobe, this chest suits households needing drawer count more than oversized drawer volume, and the repeated praise is for a neat-looking unit that stores more than its narrow shape implies. Several buyers describe straightforward assembly and smooth, quiet drawer movement once finished, which fits the appeal of a vertical five-drawer layout: frequent-use items can be separated without needing a wider furniture run. The drawer experience is less settled. Lower-rated reviews flag stiff movement, drawers sitting out of line, chipped or broken panels on arrival, and wobble after assembly, while one recent account also found the instructions poor despite other buyers finding them clear. That contradiction points less to the concept of the chest and more to quality control and flat-pack tolerance, where small faults during delivery or assembly can turn a useful narrow unit into a frustrating one. Its style works best with pale woods, grey-toned rooms and simple bed frames rather than heavy traditional suites, and the durability outlook is the normal compromise for self-assembly bedroom furniture: acceptable for lighter clothing storage, less convincing if it will be overfilled or moved around often. For a compact room needing affordable vertical storage, this is the right call. For heavier daily use, look at factory-assembled solid-wood or higher-tier cabinet furniture instead.

Super service at Bensons. It's the best of all the showrooms we have come across. All the units and beds displayed with plenty of room between for us to think clearly about our purchases. Staff friendly and local. The Drawers review.... Easy to set up. Great Colour, a unique cross between Oak and Drift Wood Grey. Spacious drawers inside and they 'Glide Quiet and Smooth'. As always with flat packs the world over, there is never enough glue so be prepared with your own come assembly time. All in all Great Drawers and a very pleasant shopping experience. Thanks Bensons Team Aylesbury.
Well made and does the job, a better view of the top fitting would be better drawn.
