Handmade drawers bring warmth, weight and character to a room in a way that mass-produced furniture simply cannot. Each piece in this collection is crafted from reclaimed and recycled timber (teak, mango wood, or hardwood with a past life) giving every drawer its own grain, its own story, and its own quiet presence in your home. A chest of drawers to anchor a bedroom, a compact bedside table to sit beside the bed, or a TV stand with drawers to keep a living space calm and uncluttered: these handmade wooden drawers are built to last and built to be loved.
What you will find in this collection
Expect a considered range of pieces: single-drawer bedside tables in round and square forms, two-drawer and three-drawer chests in triangular and rectangular silhouettes, a five-drawer chest of drawers for larger storage needs, and TV stands with drawers that offer a peaceful home for media and accessories. The reclaimed teak drawers carry the rich grain and depth of tone that this wood is prized for, while our recycled wood storage pieces introduce lighter, honey-toned hardwoods with a naturally varied character. No two pieces are identical, each carries the marks of its former life and the hand that shaped it.
Choosing the right size and configuration
A chest of drawers is one of the most hardworking pieces of wooden storage furniture you can bring into a home. For a bedroom or dressing space, consider how much clothing or linens you need to store. A five-drawer chest of drawers offers generous capacity in a single footprint, while a three-drawer chest works well in a smaller room or as a secondary stack. Bedside tables with a single drawer are ideal for keeping a book, a small lamp and a few everyday items close at hand without visual clutter. If you are furnishing a living area, a TV stand with drawers provides discreet storage for remotes, cables and media accessories, keeping surfaces clear and the room feeling grounded.
Ways to place and style your piece
Handmade drawers work beautifully throughout the home. A reclaimed teak bedside table beside the bed brings warmth to the morning routine, while a larger chest of drawers in reclaimed teak or recycled wood storage can serve as a bedroom anchor or a hallway catch-all. In a living room, a TV stand with drawers in natural timber keeps the space feeling warm and uncluttered. These pieces sit comfortably within a broader boho aesthetic, alongside Boho Furniture & Home Décor, natural textiles and earthy accents. They pair naturally with Wooden Stools & Side Tables for layered, lived-in styling, and with Boho Coffee Tables in complementary reclaimed materials. In a bathroom, a smaller drawer unit can provide a quiet contrast to tiles and stone.
Frequently asked questions
Are these drawers fully handmade?
Yes. Each piece is crafted by hand using traditional joinery and finishing techniques. Small irregularities in the timber (grain patterns, colour variations and minor surface texture) are a natural and expected characteristic of handmade furniture made from reclaimed and recycled materials.
How should I care for my handmade drawers?
Wipe surfaces with a soft, slightly damp cloth and avoid harsh chemical cleaners. A natural wood wax or oil applied occasionally will help maintain the finish and protect the timber over time. Keep pieces away from prolonged direct sunlight and excessive moisture to preserve the colour and integrity of the wood.
What are your drawers made from?
The pieces in this collection are made from reclaimed teak, recycled hardwoods and mango wood. These are sustainable materials with natural variations in tone and grain. The specific timber will vary by piece, so each item carries its own individual character.
Do the drawers include fixings and hardware?
All necessary fixings and hardware are included with each piece.Drawer pulls and handles are crafted from complementary natural materials and are fitted prior to despatch.
Can I use these drawers as a TV stand?
Several pieces in the collection, including the round and large TV stands, are specifically designed to accommodate a television while providing drawer storage for media accessories. These are ideal as TV stands with drawers for a clean, organised living space.
