French Commode | Online8 New Zealand A wide, low chest in dark oak veneer over a bayur hardwood carcass. At 1200mm across and only 900mm high it's built as a statement piece rather than a storage tower — the proportions suit a hallway, a dining room or the foot of a bed as readily as a bedroom wall. Why It Stands Apart Generous 1200mm Width: A broad, low form with real presence. Luxe Dark Oak Finish: Rich and deep, suiting classic and formal interiors. Bayur Hardwood Carcass: A hardwood structure with oak veneer surfaces. Versatile Placement: Works in a bedroom, hallway or living space. Fully Assembled: No flat-pack build. Specifications Colour Dark Oak Composition Bayur, MDF, plywood, oak veneer Width 1200mm Depth 500mm Height 900mm Assembly Fully assembled Frequently Asked Questions What is a commode? In furniture terms it's a low, wide chest of drawers — a French form that sits lower and broader than a tallboy, designed to be seen as much as used. It gives you a substantial surface on top for lamps or display. How much wall space does it need? 1200mm across and 500mm deep, plus room in front for the drawers to open fully. That's a full 1.2 metres, so measure before ordering. How many drawers does it have? Call us on 09-278-8881 and we'll confirm the drawer configuration and internal measurements before you order. How do I care for the veneer? Dust with a soft dry cloth and wipe spills promptly. Use coasters on the top surface, and avoid abrasive cleaners — veneer is thin, so surface damage can't be sanded out the way it can on solid timber.
