If I describe a piece of furniture for you, can you tell me what it's called?

It's neither a chest of drawers nor a wardrobe, but a sort of cross between them.

It's about head height with a large cupboard section with doors and a shelf inside and possibly one or two big drawers underneath and it might be on shortish legs.

I want one, and can't search for one because I don't know what words to use. It's a kind of linen cupboard I think.

If you've got this month's Country Living (I cringe to admit that I have) there's a cream coloured one in the background on p98.

Thanks to any furniture experts!

I think of a tallboy as a chest of drawers, just drawers, not a cupboard, that's a certain height.

I could be wrong.

No, none of those exactly: not as big. Shorter than a person - about head height...

Thanks though, for helpful replies...maybe we've narrowed it down a bit!
