Every Welsh dresser at Nest at Number 20 is made to order and hand painted in your chosen Farrow & Ball colour, this means lead times are longer than you would expect from a high-street retailer. Each piece goes through the full cabinet making process, from jointing and fitting the carcass to running the drawers and applying the painted finish properly, rather than being pulled from a warehouse shelf. As a general guide, you should allow several weeks from order to delivery, however, this can vary depending on current workshop demand and whether your dresser is a standard size from the existing collection or a bespoke commission. If you have a specific date in mind — i.e. a house move, a renovation completion, or a gift, it is worth getting in touch early so the team can advise on realistic timescales and plan your build accordingly. Nationwide delivery is included, and the piece will be transported with the same level of care that went into making it.

The difference comes down to how the furniture is built, not just what it is built from. A flat pack dresser uses engineered board and pre-drilled fixings that rely on everything staying perfectly aligned to hold together over time. With daily use, drawers opened repeatedly, weight loaded onto shelves, the natural movement of a home through seasonal changes in temperature and humidity, those joints can loosen, and surfaces can chip or delaminate. A solid pine or oak dresser made using traditional joinery methods behaves differently, the wood is cut, shaped and fitted so that the structure is inherently strong and dovetailed or mortise and tenon joints lock together in a way that tightens rather than loosens under stress. The hand painted Farrow & Ball finish applied at Nest at Number 20 is also worked into the surface properly, rather than being a thin factory spray coat, which means it resists the knocks and marks of daily life far better. The result is a piece that remains solid and attractive for decades rather than a few years.
