Those recesses commonly measure 50cm to 90cm wide, a dimension that suits a tallboy at 40cm to 60cm wide and defeats a conventional chest at 80cm to 120cm. Regional variation therefore follows the distribution of pre 1919 terraced housing rather than local taste, and the report declines to publish a regional ranking because no citable public source supports one. It identifies drawer depth as the overlooked specification, recommending 40cm to 45cm external depth for clothing, and treats anti tip wall fixing as non negotiable given the high centre of gravity of a 130cm chest with extended drawers. Runner type, drawer loading order and back panel construction are set out as the specifications that determine how a tall chest ages in daily use.
