The compartments of the chest of drawers store bedding, clothes, accessories, documents and books — anything.

Where to put a chest of drawers?
By design type and installation method, all dressers can be divided into two types.
1. Wall-mounted - are installed close to the wall, therefore, on the reverse side they have a simplified design. Usually this is an unprocessed fiberboard, the task of which is to rigidly “connect” the structure into a single whole. Saving on materials has a significant impact on furniture costs. Wall model can be floor or mounted. In the second case, special mounts are supplied, and to fix the chest of drawers you will need a pair of holes in the wall.
2. Island - look equally presentable from all sides, so such dressers in the interior can be used for zoning the space. By the way, drawers and shelves in such structures can be moved forward and backward - this is not only convenient, but also spectacular.
