The reason this chest reads as classic rather than plain is the drawer front. Each one carries an applied frame moulding, set in from the edge with a round wood knob centred in it — a device that comes straight out of case furniture, and one that costs almost nothing to make but changes the whole face of a flat panel.
It stands 47.24 in tall, 31.29 in wide and 15.55 in deep — tall enough that the top drawer sits at chest height, shallow enough to go against a hallway wall without eating the walkway, and the bottom drawer still pulls out without kneeling. The body is finished in a sprayed cream, capped with a darker wood-veneer top that takes the wear — cups, keys, a lamp base, the plant that always drips.
Inside, each drawer measures 27.4 in wide by 11.3 in deep and 5.12 in tall. That shallow box is deliberate: a folded stack of shirts or towels sits two or three high and you can see all of it at once, instead of digging down through a well to find the thing at the bottom.
Underneath, small bracket feet keep the base off the floor, so the bottom edge does not sit flush against the skirting and a broom passes under it.
