About the Velora Narrow Chest
At 40cm wide this is a genuinely narrow chest, and that is the whole point of it. Most chests of drawers start around 80cm and assume you have a spare wall; this one fits where a standard chest cannot – in an alcove, beside a chimney breast, in the gap between a wardrobe and a corner, or in a box room where every centimetre of floor is accounted for.
Four drawers stacked in an 81cm height gives you proper drawer storage in that footprint rather than a token two. It is a useful amount: enough to take the folded clothes a wardrobe cannot hold, without needing the wall space a wide chest demands.
It also works as a taller bedside table. At 81cm high it sits above a standard mattress rather than level with it, which some people prefer – and at the same 40cm width and 42cm depth as the matching 3 drawer bedside table, the two can be used either side of a bed for a deliberately asymmetric arrangement.
The handles are the range signature: slim black bars with rounded ends, set horizontally across each drawer. Against white they are a crisp, contemporary contrast; against champagne they are the sharp note that keeps a warm finish from feeling traditional. They match the handles on the Velora wardrobes exactly, so a full set reads as one scheme rather than several pieces that happen to share a colour.
Choose White for a cleaner, more contemporary look, or Champagne – a soft, faintly golden neutral – if the room is built around warmer tones.
Velora sits in the Rauch Blue range: functional, well-designed furniture made in Germany, combining reliable quality with strong value for money. It is 100% Made in Germany and carries both the Blue Angel and the Golden M ecolabels, Blue Angel being an independently verified low-emission certification.
The wider Velora collection includes wardrobes in White and Champagne with arched mirror doors, a 3 drawer bedside table (40 × 61 × 42cm), a 4 drawer wide chest (80 × 81 × 42cm), and a 2 door 4 drawer chest (120 × 81 × 42cm).

FAQs
How narrow is it?
40cm wide and 42cm deep – narrow enough for an alcove, the gap beside a chimney breast, or a box room where a standard chest would not fit. Most chests of drawers start around 80cm.
How many drawers does it have?
Four, stacked across an 81cm height. That is proper drawer storage in a 40cm footprint rather than the two drawers a narrow unit usually offers.
Can I use it as a bedside table?
Yes, and at 81cm it sits above a standard mattress rather than level with it, which some people prefer. It shares the same width and depth as the matching 3 drawer bedside table, so the two can be paired either side of a bed.
Do the drawers have soft close?
No. The drawers on this model do not have a soft close mechanism.
What colours is it available in?
White or Champagne, selected when you order. Both match the finishes used across the Velora wardrobes and other chests.
Do the handles match the wardrobes?
Yes. The same slim rounded black bar handles are used across the whole Velora collection.
Does it come assembled?
No. This item is delivered flat packed and assembly is required.
Is there a wider version?
Yes. The collection includes a 4 drawer wide chest at 80cm and a 2 door 4 drawer chest at 120cm, both the same 81cm height and 42cm depth.
Can I cancel or change my order?
No. This item is made to order by Rauch to your selected specification, so once the order has been processed it cannot be cancelled or amended. Please check your selected colour carefully before ordering.
How do I look after the surfaces?
The surfaces are easy to maintain and should be cleaned with a dry cloth only.
