Scandinavian chests of drawers — clean-lined, pale solid-wood dressers on tapered legs.
Scandinavian sells on calm, not clutter. We manufacture Nordic-style chests of drawers in Jodhpur — pale acacia, mango, rubberwood and pine, flat fronts with recessed or minimal pulls, matte natural and soft-white finishes, raised on slim tapered legs — made to your range and shipped from a single trial order up to repeat container volumes.
A storage piece that reads as light, calm and quietly well-made.
Scandinavian — the Nordic look rooted in functional, understated design — is built on light wood, honest proportion and almost no ornament. A chest of drawers is one of its purest expressions: flat or softly rounded fronts, a pale grain left visible under a matte finish, and the slim tapered leg that lifts the whole piece so it feels airy rather than heavy. We achieve it with genuine light-toned solid wood, not printed laminate, so the warmth and grain are real — acacia for its subtle figure and value, natural mango and rubberwood for an even pale tone, pine for a true Nordic feel. Hardware is deliberately quiet: recessed finger-pulls, small round wooden knobs, or a simple cut-out grip. The result is a timeless, uncluttered piece that photographs beautifully and never dates — a strong fit for retailers, interior designers, online sellers and hospitality buyers whose customers want minimalist, light-and-bright interiors.

Wood tone and finish read differently in daylight, so we recommend approving a physical piece before production. Request a Scandinavian chest sample and we will send grain, finish and leg-profile references for your range, or compare builds on the chests of drawers hub.
Drawer counts and footprints, matched to your range.
Every dimension below is a standard starting point — we build Scandinavian chests to your exact drawer count, height and footprint for bedroom, nursery, home-office and retail projects. Tapered legs typically add 15–20 cm of lift.

Minimalist design, documented for your market.
A clean look shouldn't come with a messy customs file. Every Scandinavian chest ships with FSC chain-of-custody on request, Vriksh timber-legality verification, and EUDR-ready geolocation and deforestation-free due diligence on our acacia, mango, rubberwood and pine stock. We provide US Lacey Act declaration support, UK Timber Regulation coverage, and CARB / TSCA Title VI formaldehyde-compliant finishes, with social and quality assurance under SEDEX / SMETA, ISO and SGS inspection, and ISPM-15 heat-treated export packing. Certificate references go directly to serious buyers — never published. Your container clears while others' sit at the port.

Pale and minimal, built to stay crisp through shipping and daily use.
Scandinavian pieces have nowhere to hide a shortcut — the clean lines only read well if the build is true, so construction matters more here than on an ornate chest. We kiln-dry the acacia, mango, rubberwood or pine before joinery, dovetail the drawers, and build a solid-wood carcass so fronts stay flat and drawers run square through humidity swings. Tapered legs are mortised or bolted into solid rails, not thin facings, so the lifted footprint stays rigid. Pale matte and whitewashed finishes are sealed in formaldehyde-compliant formulations to resist yellowing and to clean with a soft, barely damp cloth — avoid soaking, abrasive pads and harsh solvents, which can mark a light surface. Because every chest carries a solid-wood component, scuffs and water rings can be eased and re-oiled rather than replaced. Full care and finish guidance ships with every order so your retail and hospitality customers get consistent advice.
Scandinavian chest of drawers sourcing, answered.
What makes a chest of drawers Scandinavian in style?
Scandinavian (or Scandi / Nordic) design is defined by restraint: clean straight lines, flat or gently rounded drawer fronts, pale light-toned wood, and minimal or hidden hardware. The signature cue is the tapered, splayed leg that lifts the chest off the floor for a light, airy footprint. We build the look with recessed finger-pull or small round wooden knobs, a matte natural finish that shows real grain, and simple functional proportions — warm, uncluttered and timeless rather than ornate.
Which woods and finishes do you use for Scandinavian chests of drawers?
We favour light, pale-grained solid woods that suit the Nordic palette — acacia, natural mango, rubberwood and pine — finished in clear matte oil, soft white or light grey wash, or a whitewashed natural tone that keeps the grain visible. Every chest carries at least one solid-wood component; we do not build from plywood or particle board. Finishes are CARB / TSCA Title VI formaldehyde-compliant and sealed for transit and daily use.
Can you manufacture Scandinavian dressers to our own designs and dimensions?
Yes. We work as ODM from our catalogue and OEM to your drawings — your drawer count, height, footprint, leg profile, handle style, finish tone and private-label or retail-ready packaging. Custom CNC machining lets us hold the crisp lines and tight tolerances Scandinavian pieces depend on, and match a range to your brand exactly.
What sizes do Scandinavian chests of drawers come in?
Common builds are a slim 3-drawer chest, a 4- or 5-drawer tallboy, and a 6-drawer wide dresser, in widths from roughly 50 to 150 cm. The tapered legs add 15–20 cm of lift. We manufacture to your exact drawer count, height and footprint for bedroom, nursery, home-office and apartment ranges.
What is your minimum order for Scandinavian chests of drawers?
A trial or sample order can ship LCL. For best wholesale pricing thereafter, one 20ft full container load is our standard minimum, and we consolidate Scandinavian chests with beds, nightstands, sideboards and other categories into a single mixed, compliant container.
Do you offer flat-pack Scandinavian chests to reduce freight?
Yes. The simple geometry of a Scandinavian chest suits knockdown (flat-pack / RTA) construction well — removable tapered legs and a bolt-together carcass cut both freight cost and transit breakage, which is ideal for large importers and online sellers. We also supply fully assembled, with Amazon-FBA-ready or branded packaging on request.
Approve a sample, then ship from one container up.
Sign off the wood tone, finish and leg profile on a physical piece, then scale from a trial order to repeat container volumes on a 30–45 day lead time — QC-governed and documented for your market.
