It borrows the wall colour instead of competing with it, which makes a small room feel less crowded than a dark or wood-toned unit would. Two doors close over a cupboard, and an open shelf above holds whatever you want in reach at night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFinish and construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMelamine-faced chipboard with a matt white surface. Matt is the important word here. Gloss white looks sharp in photographs and shows every fingerprint in a real bedroom, especially at the height where you push a door shut half asleep. Matt takes daily handling far better. The internal shelf sits fixed, bracing the frame rather than sliding on pegs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSizes, and what they mean in practice\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e57 × 51 × 32cm, height by width by depth. In a small room the depth is the number to check first — 32cm keeps the unit tight to the wall and preserves the walkway. The 57cm height puts the top near mattress level on most beds. The 51cm width is enough for a lamp, a book and a glass without anything perched on the edge. Measure your gap, and keep about 60cm free in front for the doors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e57 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWidth\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e51 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDepth\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMelamine-faced chipboard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFinish\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMatt white\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDoors\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2, hinged\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOpen shelves\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eInternal shelf\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFixed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePacked size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e68 × 51 × 9 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAssembly\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSelf-assembly, fittings included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy white keeps working\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite furniture survives redecoration. Change the wall colour, swap the bedding, move the unit into a spare room or a nursery in three years, and it still fits. It also reflects what little light a north-facing British bedroom gets in January, which a dark unit simply absorbs. If the room risks looking flat, break it up on the open shelf: a wooden tray, a stack of books with coloured spines, a plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKeeping white looking white\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA soft, slightly damp cloth followed by a dry one deals with most marks. Avoid abrasive creams — they dull matt surfaces permanently and cannot be buffed back. No bleach sprays, no steam. Scuffs near the doors are the usual complaint on white units, so a felt pad under anything you regularly set down on the top is a small habit worth forming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDelivery and assembly\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupplied flat-packed in a single 68 × 51 × 9cm carton with the fittings included, and buildable in about half an hour with a cross-head screwdriver.
