About the Velora Wide Chest
Four drawers running the full 80cm width is what makes this the most practical piece in the collection. Folded clothes sit flat across the width rather than stacked in narrow columns, which means jumpers, jeans and shirts lie the way they were folded instead of being squeezed to fit. It sounds like a small thing until you own a narrow chest and spend a year fighting it.
Four drawers is also the right number for the height. At 81cm each drawer has genuine depth rather than being a shallow tray, so the chest holds a real wardrobe's worth of folded clothing – enough to take the pressure off the wardrobe shelves entirely.
The proportions are deliberate. At 80cm wide and 42cm deep it sits comfortably under a window or against a free wall without dominating a room, and the 81cm height works as a surface – a lamp, a mirror, framed photographs – rather than being too low to use or too high to reach across.
The handles are the range signature: slim black bars with rounded ends, set horizontally across each drawer. Across an 80cm front those horizontal lines do real visual work, stretching the piece and giving it a rhythm that four plain drawer fronts would lack. 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.
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 narrow chest (40 × 81 × 42cm), and a 2 door 4 drawer chest (120 × 81 × 42cm).

FAQs
How wide are the drawers?
All four run the full 80cm width of the chest. Folded clothes sit flat across the width rather than being squeezed into narrow columns, which is the practical advantage of a wide chest over a narrow one.
What are the dimensions?
80cm wide, 81cm high and 42cm deep. The height works as a usable surface for a lamp or mirror, and the depth keeps the footprint modest against a wall or under a window.
Do the drawers have soft close?
No. The drawers on this model do not have a soft close mechanism.
How does it compare with the narrow chest?
Both have four drawers and the same 81cm height and 42cm depth. This one is 80cm wide with full-width drawers; the narrow chest is 40cm and designed for an alcove or a tight space. If you have the wall, the wide version holds considerably more.
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 larger version?
Yes. The collection includes a 2 door 4 drawer chest at 120cm wide, the same 81cm height and 42cm depth, which adds cupboard storage alongside the drawers.
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.
