Measure door arcs, drawer pull depth and anti-tip anchor points before ordering an Artiss tallboy — narrow Australian bedrooms punish guesswork more than short chests do.

Who this is for
Bedrooms and hall nooks where floor width is scarce but vertical storage is allowed. Pine tallboys suit lighter interiors; always plan wall attachment.

6-drawer tallboy listing notes: overall about 50.5 × 40 × 113 cm; tabletop capacity about 30 kg; drawer capacity about 10 kg each; handle-free; wall attachment included notes; particle board with paper veneer; pine colour.

Direct answer
Tape the 50.5 × 40 cm footprint with drawers open before you buy, and fit the wall attachment on day one.
Step-by-step measuring workflow
- Measure width at skirting and at handrail/hip height.
- Open a similar drawer depth with a tape to simulate pull-out.
- Locate studs or solid masonry for the included wall attachment.
- Assemble square; adjust feet on uneven floors.
- Load heavy items in lower drawers.
- Keep the 30 kg tabletop for lamps/trays — not gym weights.
- Cross-check hallway tallboy guides if the piece may move rooms.
Common mistakes and care
- Skipping anti-tip hardware.
- Placing where the door hits open drawers.
- Overfilling top drawers.
- Ignoring veneer care with harsh cleaners.
- Measuring only closed depth.
Anti-tip before styling
Fit the wall attachment before loading drawers. Tallboys invite climbing toddlers — anchors are not optional.
Drawer pull depth in tight rooms
Measure with drawers fully open toward the bed. A 40 cm-deep chest still steals walkway when runners are extended.
Lighting and evening walk-through
Walk the room again after dinner lighting is on. Clearances that look fine at noon can feel tight at night when people carry laundry baskets or laptop bags. Adjust placement before drilling or final cable dress.
Shared-household communication
Tell housemates which drawers, outlets or sleep surfaces are reserved for daily use versus guests. A five-minute handover stops someone overloading a rated shelf or blocking access paths.

Field checklist note 1

Delivery and carton staging
Stage cartons along a hallway wall so living floors stay clear for assembly. Open boxes with a knife away from upholstery and foam. Recycle packaging only after every fastener bag is accounted for against the manual parts list.
Seasonal humidity notes
Coastal and humid suburbs move timber-look panels and fabrics. Wipe spills promptly, leave airflow behind tall furniture, and re-check anti-tip hardware after the first wet month.
Peak-hour clearance check
Re-check the footprint when everyone arrives home at once — bags, bikes and laundry baskets change usable width. Shift furniture or power leads before habits set in.
Cable and accessory discipline
Label chargers and keep spare parts in one labelled pouch taped inside a drawer or under a desktop. Future you will thank present you during a midnight changeover.
Aftercare in the first fortnight
Re-tighten visible bolts after the furniture settles. Listen for new squeaks on bed frames and sofa mechanisms, then fix with the manual’s hardware rather than improvising mismatched screws.
