In short: Dresser with drawers No. 3 is a low, wide solid oak dresser with five drawers: four arranged in two rows at the top, and a fifth, wide one, running across the whole bottom. Each drawer has black forged handles, and the vivid grain of the oak makes the piece lively and distinctive. The size, the number of drawers and the finish are agreed with each customer separately.
A dresser with drawers in an attic room
In the photo the dresser stands in an attic room, under a sloping ceiling lined with light slats. On the left you can see a stair railing with turned and twisted balusters, and the stair post is crowned by a round wooden knob. On the right is a red brick wall, and the floor is made of wide light boards with knots. In a setting like this the dresser looks natural, as if it had always stood here.
The dresser is low and wide. Its height roughly matches the height of the knee wall up to the sloping ceiling, so the piece fits nicely into a space where a tall wardrobe would not. It is a good example of how to use attic corners that often stay empty.
The finish is a warm amber color, darker than the wood of the floor and the ceiling. Because of this the dresser does not blend into the surroundings but stands out as a separate, rich accent. The grain of the oak is clearly visible through the coating: in places it runs in even bands, and elsewhere it curls around the knots.
The top is covered by a wide board that projects slightly forward and to the sides. This overhang protects the edges of the drawers from knocks and gives the dresser a finished, solid look. It is handy to put a lamp, books or a box for small things on top.
The photo also shows that the dresser stands directly on the floor, without tall legs. Because of this dust does not collect under it and small items do not roll beneath, and the piece itself looks stable and heavy. In an attic room this is especially handy, since there is no hard-to-reach gap to clean under a low piece of furniture.
Five drawers: how the space is divided
In the upper part of the dresser there are four drawers of equal size, arranged in two rows of two. Under them is a fifth drawer, wide and taller, across the whole width of the dresser. This arrangement is very practical: small items go into the upper drawers and bigger ones into the lower.
In the upper drawers it is handy to keep underwear, socks, scarves, documents or craft supplies. The lower, wide drawer holds sweaters, bedding, blankets or toys. Because the dresser is low, you can look into all the drawers from above without climbing on a chair or bending down to the floor.
The front of each drawer is made of a single oak board. Because of this even an empty dresser looks massive and sturdy, and drawers opened every day do not bend or warp. The upper drawers have one handle each, and the lower wide one has two, so that it is convenient to pull with both hands.
A dresser like this is easy to organize so that every family member has a drawer of their own. In a children’s room the upper drawers can hold drawing supplies and small toys, and the lower one bigger toys or seasonal clothes. In a living room the drawers come in handy for tablecloths, candles, board games and photo albums.
The handles and the dark fixing points
The handles are black, forged and hanging: a small ring hangs on a round rosette. Such a handle is comfortable to grip, and when released the ring drops down and does not stick out. They recall the old fittings of chests and cupboards, so the dresser takes on a rustic but tidy style.
In the corners of the drawers and between them you can see dark round dots. These are fixing points that are left visible here and become part of the decoration. They are evenly distributed across the whole front, so the dresser looks as if it were studded with metal, and the black handles and dark dots form a unified pattern.
This simple solution shows that the piece was made by the hands of a craftsman. There are no plastic parts or artificial imitations: only wood, metal and the natural texture of oak.
If you prefer other handles, for example wooden ones or of a simpler shape, this can be discussed when you order. Still, black forged handles with oak look especially harmonious and go well with the other products of this group, which use similar hardware.

A low dresser under a sloping ceiling
Attic rooms have their own challenges. Tall furniture does not fit under sloping ceilings, and awkward, often empty spots remain by the low walls. A low, wide dresser with drawers turns such a spot into useful storage space and decorates the room at the same time.
Before ordering, measure the height of the knee wall at the point where the sloping ceiling begins, and how far the ceiling lowers toward the inside of the room. Then the craftsmen can choose a height and depth for the dresser so that the upper drawers open freely and do not catch on the ceiling. Also leave space in front of the dresser: a fully pulled-out drawer needs as much room as its depth.
Of course, a dresser like this suits more than an attic. It will look good in a bedroom under a window, in a children’s room, in a hallway or in a living room where a lamp and photographs can be placed on it. In a log or wooden house it goes naturally with the walls, and against brick or plaster it becomes a warm, eye-catching accent.
If you want all the wooden things in your home to look unified, remember that the same finish can be applied to other products too. For example, next to the dresser the hanging oak corner shelf would look good, and in the yard the oak garden and outdoor furniture.
Solid oak and how to look after it
UAB “Laukbaldis” makes furniture from solid oak, that is, from whole wood. Oak is hard and dense, so the drawer fronts and the top are resistant to everyday use. The furniture is made by experienced craftsmen, and knots and the natural patterns of the wood make every dresser unique.
- Wipe dust off the dresser with a dry or barely damp soft cloth and dry the surface right away.
- Do not put hot cups or flowerpots without a saucer on top, so that no rings are left.
- If the drawers begin to slide harder, their sides and runners can be rubbed with wax or a candle.
- When the finish becomes duller after a few years, it can be renewed with a wax or oil meant for wood.
Wood breathes and reacts to the humidity of the air. In an attic it is warm in summer and the air can be dry in winter, so the drawers sometimes slide a little more freely or a little harder. This is natural and does not harm the strength of the piece. Still, it is better not to put the dresser right next to a heating appliance, and the attic is worth airing on hot summer days.

Before calling, get a few numbers ready: the length of the space and the maximum possible height and depth. It is worth thinking about what you will keep in the dresser too. If mostly small things, more small drawers may come in handy, and for bedding or sweaters, more wide and tall ones.
Choose the shade of the finish with the floor and walls in mind. In the photo you can see how the amber-colored dresser stands out against the background of light boards. If you want the piece to blend more with its surroundings, you can choose a lighter tone, and for a stronger contrast, a darker one. If you have a sample you want to match the color to, show a photo of it.
