What would you call this piece of furniture ?

[KurriKurri]

And don't say 'hideous'

It is similar to a dresser, but has cupboard and draw on the bottom section like a sideboard and book case on the top. So not actually a sideboard or a dresser but a bookcase cupboard thing. It's tall like a dresser but not as wide.
I've got one, and want another and have no idea what I should be searching for on FB selling pages

Picture?

I'd call it living room storage.. or Brian.

Search for dresser bookcase.

I don't know but I could do with a couple.

Do you mean Welsh dresser?

Welsh dresser?

No it's nto a Welsh dresser - it doesn't have the cupboards at the top and it isn't as wide - and it isn't pine it's oak I think - dark wood anyway.

I'll try bookcase-dresser Showy, thanks

They are useful because they fit into alcoves and you can get quite a lot of stuff and books in them.

They used to be called 'wall units' back in the days of MFI.

I think dresser bookcase is the right description - it is similar to this although mine has a drawer just above the cupboards and is darker wood and more old fashioned looking.

I would call it a bookshelf cabinet.

Oh and the bookcase on mine is set back so there is about a foot of cupboard top you can put your cuppa and your glasses on.

Back in the day, they were called wall units (Google vintage wall units for example). Dark wood may be teak as that was popular.

These days I'd probably say living room wall or storage unit (so as not to be confused with kitchen wall units).

No it's nto a Welsh dresser - it doesn't have the cupboards at the top and it isn't as wide - and it isn't pine it's oak I think - dark wood anyway

None of those attributes are necessary to make a piece of furniture a Welsh dresser.

Hereatnumber7 - I didn't know that, I thought they had to be pine and really big - so I've learnt something And better still I think you have it - I've googled dark oak welsh dresser and it's come up with some pieces very similar to mine. I should probably be displaying my non-existant plate collection in the top part, not books

I just searched for bookshelves with cupboard storage underneath and noted that most people called them bookcase dresser type things. That's what I'd call them too. It's like when they taught chimps sign language and when they didn't know the word "ring", the chimps signed "finger bracelet" instead.

that's what it's generally called in my house.

Chimps are pretty smart, aren't they?

The picture by Pineapple above looks like a unit from Scar top Pine in Lancashire. Their website might have descriptions.

Ikea Billy bookcase with doors on the bottom half?

Sound like what my parents used to call a 'tallboy'.

..(sorry pressed send too soon)..but when I google a tallboy just seems to have the drawers and not the shelves on top.

Looks like a Welsh dresser to me.

If it has a cupboard on the bottom and the shelves are slightly set back from the top, I’d say it is a dresser. Just a small one. I’d probably go for dresser/display unit.

Thanks all - I think it is definitely a member of the dresser family -some sort of cousin that no one mentions

I remeber when I bought it in a second hand furniture shop it was labelled 'Victorian' - Victorian what it didn;t say. I'm not convinced it is that old, looks a bit more like 1930's type of stuff. But it is a useful thing and I rather like it, it's been carted round several house moves and I nabbed it in the divorce division of spoils.

I think I used to own a tallboy Goldenruby - it wasn't as high as this dresser thing, it had two drawers on the bottom and a cupboard onn the top - I kept bed linen in it.

Definitely some sort of dresser, so useful. A tallboy is a tall (obvs) narrow chest of drawers.
