Dresser, chest of drawers, buffet cabinet: what's in a name?
Dresser, chest of drawers, buffet cabinet... there are only few pieces of furniture that have as many names as the "dresser." Although they are all cabinets used for storage, there is a subtle difference. And it primarily has to do with the function of the cabinet and the room in which the cabinet is located.
-
Commode
Originally designed as a low cabinet with drawers to store clothing, bedding, or other items, the commode is often found in bedrooms or nurseries, where it also serves as a changing table.
-
Dresser
A dresser is typically wider and longer than a commode, consisting of drawers and doors. You'll find this piece of furniture in dining and living rooms to store dishes, glasses, or table linens. Its flat top also makes it suitable for displaying decorations.
-
Buffet Cabinet
The distinction becomes smaller here, as the buffet cabinet combines the storage space of a commode with the display element of a china cabinet. This cabinet is often open, but of course, you can customize it as you prefer.
How tall should your commode or dresser be?
When determining the ideal height and depth for your commode or dresser, it's good to consider comfort, usability, and style. When these three factors are balanced, you'll have a practical piece of furniture that meets all your needs.
The ideal dimensions for a (baby) commode
The average height of a commode ranges between 90 and 105 cm. However, consider your own height to ensure a comfortable posture. If you're using the commode as a changing table for your baby, make sure the worktop is at least 75 cm long and 55 to 60 cm deep to accommodate the changing pad and other baby items.
How tall should your dresser be?
Usually, the height of a dresser is around 90 cm, but your ideal height depends on various factors. If your dresser stands freely in the room, you can choose the height freely. If you place the dresser next to a dining table, it's best to follow the height of that table. Also, consider movement space when determining the depth, especially with open doors.

Frequently asked questions about the dresser
-
What should I measure before ordering a chest of drawers or sideboard?
Start by measuring the width, height and depth of the space where you want to place your sideboard. With these dimensions, you can easily create a perfectly fitting design in the design tool. Not sure how to get started? Our measuring guide offers helpful tips!
Not confident in your measuring skills? Make it easy for yourself with our at-home measurement service!
-

What are infill panels?
Infill panels are finishing pieces that ensure your chest of drawers fits neatly into your space. You decide how you want to receive them: made to size or oversized so you can trim them yourself. They ensure your cabinet fits perfectly against the wall, even if it isn’t completely straight.
With infill panels, you get that sleek built-in look. Small imperfections disappear, while your cabinet always looks neat and seamless.
In short: infill panels ensure a perfect finish for your custom sideboard!

Are the drawers and shelves strong enough for heavier loads like tableware?
Absolutely! Your sideboard is made to be used. The furniture is built from sturdy, durable panels and finished with strong fittings. The shelves can easily support heavy items such as tableware, books or supplies up to 40 kg.
The drawers are also equipped with solid runners that glide smoothly, even when fully loaded. This keeps your cabinet stable and user-friendly for years to come.
-
How do you clean a custom cabinet without causing damage?
Your cabinet stays beautiful the longest with a gentle clean. A bit of glass cleaner or all-purpose cleaner on a microfibre cloth is enough. Gently wipe in small circular motions, let the product work for a moment and then rinse with lukewarm water. Dry it off… and you’re done!
Always avoid abrasive or harsh products. Hydrogen peroxide and dish soap can also damage your cabinet, so it’s best to keep those away.
-
In which rooms can I use a chest of drawers or sideboard?
A custom cabinet feels at home in any room. 🏡 You tailor the dimensions, layout and finish completely to where you want to use it: as a sideboard in the living room, a buffet cabinet in the dining room, storage in the hallway or a practical chest of drawers in the bedroom.
Thanks to timeless options and a sleek finish, your cabinet blends seamlessly into your interior. As if it’s always been there!

How much does a chest of drawers cost?
The price of a custom chest of drawers or sideboard depends entirely on the choices you make during the design process.
