Narrow, but not too tall chest of drawers help please!

I'm looking for a chest of drawers to fit in a particular space, which needs to be no more than 60cm wide and 85cm tall (could go to 90cm tall, but not ideal).

I've seen this and this on Wayfair. They are both made by 17 Stories - can anyone comment on what the quality might be like?

Anywhere else I can try for a chest of drawers with these dimensions (W60cm x H85cm)? Budget about £150.

Thank you - I had looked at IKEA, but think I'd rejected all the possibilities for one reason or another. I'd seen the Hemnes and I really like the look of it, but I think the top drawer might be too shallow for clothes storage. The first one you linked to I think is also a bit too small as I want to maximise the space there is, so I'm hoping to find something taller.

The Platsa could be a possibility. I don't think I saw that one when I looked. I like that it's quite deep (57cm, compared to the more usual 40cm), so that could work. It just doesn't look particularly pretty!

I had similar problems finding a tallish but narrow chest of drawers. Most modern ones seem to be in excess of 80 cm wide.
Solved the problem by buying a Ducal 4 drawer chest, second hand, and refinishing it myself. (This was the beginning of a love of up cycling ducal furniture!)

If you can be bothered to do some sanding and painting, look on FB Marketplace, Gumtree, Ebay etc.
This one is 58 x 85 x 44 cm - as was the one I bought.

It's massively overpriced because they have done the work. I think I paid less than £40 for mine.

Thank you @rosegoldwatcher - that chest is lovely, but as you say is way overpriced (and way over my budget).

I think I'll go for the Ikea Platsa - practicality over looks. It also has the benefit of being quite deep, which makes up for it not being quite as tall as I'd like.
