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

Furniture Ferret: Measure both the width and the depth of the floor space where you'd like to place a chest of drawers. The easiest way is to use a measuring tape. Hold the start of the tape down at the edge of the area, and let it run to the other edge. If the distance is larger than what you can stretch to with your arms, ask a friend to help, or divide what you need to measure into multiple parts. This can be done by either holding the tape down partway through and continuing running it while letting the first end go, or by marking how far you 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 pen there. Make sure to avoid dead places where the piece of furniture won't go like pipes. Also it may be necessary to measure the height of the space wherever the ceiling is low.

From the history of furniture: Brass and copper utensils Part 2

Among the pieces of brass s1ioaati in Figure 173 is a smoothing iron with a drawer that pulls out to receive hot coals, and the thing that looks like a clumsy spoon is a spoon mould, also of brass. Into this mould was poured the spooning peAAdjer, and then allowed to form in shape. The Colonial village which owned one of these moulds considered itself rich, and it was passed around among families as they needed it. The spoon at the back with the long handle was for basting.

The little candlesticks were for tallowdips, and the tall one stood in the best room. The noggin was for a nightcap of peach brandy, schnapps, or that beverage which is put down in so many old account books as " W. I. Rum." There lies before me as I write the diary of a New England judge, a man of high standing and dignity in the community in which he lived. The diary covers that eventful period in our history included between 1754 and 1788, and presents a wonderful picture of the life in a New England town. The noggin brought to my mind what hard drinkers our ancestors were, and Iturned at random to this diary to see what the judge had to say on the subject. The page where I have opened is dated August, 1772, and I find the following entry for the first day of the month:

I "went to MacGregores and got the bushell of salt that I paid him for last fish time in shad, and a bottle of snuff, and a pair of brass sleeve buttons for which I paid him Hamprold Tenor."

Our philosophy

We want to allow every one of us to live comfortably even if they only own a small space they call home. We scan multiple webshops for thousands of desks, cabinets, shelves, shoe cabinets, beds, armchairs and more by size and colour, to find just the right one for you to go in that unused corner and turn it into a dressing corner, or to find that extra long bed that is still narrow enough to squeeze through the door. From the hall to the living room, don't just live around furniture - buy furniture that lives with you.

Did you know? We also help customers in many other regions. You can look for 70cm wide chests of drawers in Australia, “commodes et caissons à tiroirs - largeur 70 cm” in France or 28 inch wide chests of drawers in the US.
