Is it possible to find chests of drawers by size?

Finding chests of drawers in search engines on the web by measurements is not easy as search engines are best at finding text only. Also, when searching for chests of drawers to fit a given space, somewhat shallower pieces would also fit. Even if some outlets allow searching for chests of drawers by size, searching many websites at the same time needs a different solution. Our systems scour many webshops on the web and index tens of thousands of products to allow you to buy the one that fits perfectly.

How do I measure the space to fit a chest of drawers in?

Measure both the width and the depth of the space where you'd like to place a chest of drawers. The most accurate way is to use a measuring tape. Hold the beginning of the tape down at the edge of the area, and let it run to the other edge. Make sure the tape is parallel to the side of the space, as otherwise you would overestimate the available space. If the distance is larger than what you can stretch to, ask someone else to help, or split the distance up into multiple parts. This can be done by either holding the tape down halfway and continuing running it while letting the first end go, or by marking how far you have measured on the floor or wall, and start a new measurement. If you want to avoid drawing on your floor, try putting down a pointy object like a pair of scissors there instead. You should avoid dead places where the piece of furniture won't go like skirting boards. Also don't forget to take the height of the space and the item into account wherever the ceiling is low.

From the history of furniture: Brass and copper utensils Part 7

So far all the lights shown did duty within doors. When one stepped abroad, so dark were the streets and so badly paved that, after cocking one's bonnet and throwing on a roquelo, a stout staff was a necessity.

In Scott's Somers' Tracts, 1685, under the head of "England's Wants," is the following with reference to the lights:

"There is wanting a law wherein, although not all England is concerned, yet a great part thereof is, that, in the capital city of England, not only all the streets and lanes should be kept clean, that all sorts of persons might walk as commodiously in winter as in summer, which is of late years brought to pass in that great and populous city of Paris, in France; but also, as is done in that city all the winter nights, in the middle of the streets there should be hanged out so many candles or lamps, as that all sorts of persons in this great trading city might walk about their business as conveniently and safely by night as by day."

We did not suffer from highwaymen in our country as they did in England, such gentry being seldom met with here. To be sure, the " watch " had a lantern, — you can see one in Figure 202, — and you were lucky if you were going his way. Even New York in 1789 was a dirty city. Pigs were the only scavengers, and as they did not do their duty very thoroughly an appeal for relief was made to the High Constable of the city. It was printed in the " Daily Advertiser" of December 19, 1789, and begins as follows:

Our philosophy

We aim to allow everyone to live comfortably even if they only have a small area they call home. We scan multiple webshops for thousands of tables, cabinets, shelves, shoe cabinets, beds, sofabeds and more by size and colour, to find just the right piece to go in that unused corner and turn it into a dressing corner, or to find that extra long sofa that is still narrow enough to squeeze through the door. From the hall to the bedroom, don't just live around furniture - get furniture that lives with you.

Did you know? We are also present in other countries. You can visit “commodes et caissons à tiroirs - largeur 190 cm” in France.
