Description
The Borneo lowboy lines up eight handle-free drawers in a 130 cm wide, 41.5 cm deep, 103 cm tall frame, so a wardrobe of folded clothing stays behind one clean, flat front. The washed oak-look melamine finish suits farmhouse and pared-back bedrooms alike, and the 130 cm top leaves room for a lamp, a tray and framed photos.
130 cm of wall, 41.5 cm of depth
130 × 41.5 × 103 cm (W × D × H)
At only 41.5 cm deep the Borneo sits close to the wall, so a clear 130 cm run of wall is the real requirement rather than floor area. Allow space in front for a drawer to pull out fully. At 103 cm the top sits well above bed height, which makes it a display surface rather than another low bench.
Eight drawers behind one flat front
Eight drawers spread across the 130 cm frame take the folded contents of a wardrobe — t-shirts, knitwear, underwear, spare linen — and metal drawer runners carry them in and out under load. The handle-free fronts keep the face unbroken, so nothing catches a sleeve or a bag in a narrow walkway. There is no hanging space, so shirts and coats still need a wardrobe.
Wood-look melamine over engineered board
MDF and particle board form the Borneo's structure, surfaced in a wood-look melamine in a washed oak tone. Melamine wipes clean with a damp cloth, which suits a top that carries lamps, trays and jewellery. It is not solid timber, so keep standing water off the surface and lift rather than drag the 64.5 kg frame when repositioning it.

Assembly & delivery
Assembly is required. The Borneo arrives as four cartons weighing 15.5 kg, 18.5 kg, 17 kg and 19.5 kg — 70.5 kg packed in total — with the longest carton at 140.5 cm, which is the number to check against your stairwell or lift. Unpack in the room where the unit will stand, since the assembled frame weighs 64.5 kg. Most orders ship the next business day from our Auckland warehouse.
Where the Borneo earns its space
Main bedrooms where two people share one dresser. Eight drawers across a 130 cm frame give each person four, and at 41.5 cm deep that capacity costs little floor space. In a shared bedroom the trade-off is weight: 64.5 kg assembled, so settle the wall position before you build it, not after.
How much wall space does the 130 cm wide oak-look Borneo need?
One hundred and thirty centimetres of clear wall is the planning number for the Borneo, with 41.5 cm of depth and room in front for a drawer to open fully. The shallow depth keeps it tight to the wall in a walkway, while 103 cm of height means it sits above most bedside furniture. Measure the run before ordering, because the frame does not come apart once assembled.
Why does the oak-look Borneo have no drawer handles?
Handle-free fronts across all eight drawers give the Borneo a flat, unbroken face in washed oak-look melamine. Nothing protrudes into the room, which matters where the unit runs along a walkway or sits beside a door swing. The trade-off is that a plain flat front shows fingerprints more than a handled one, so keep a soft cloth nearby.
What sits under the Borneo's oak finish?
MDF and particle board form the carcass and drawers, with a wood-look melamine surface in an oak tone — the specification lists no solid timber. Melamine copes well with daily wiping and is why the packed weight stays at 70.5 kg for a unit this size. Because it is engineered board, keep standing water off the top and use a coaster under anything wet.
How many cartons does the 8 drawer Borneo arrive in?
Four cartons make up the Borneo lowboy, weighing 15.5 kg, 18.5 kg, 17 kg and 19.5 kg for a packed total of 70.5 kg. The longest measures 140.5 cm, which decides whether it clears your stairwell, lift or hallway turn. Assembly is required and the finished unit weighs 64.5 kg, so plan on two people and a clear floor area to work in.
Will the 103 cm tall Borneo work in a shared bedroom?
Eight drawers in one 130 cm frame let two people take four drawers each, which is the usual reason a shared bedroom takes a single large unit instead of two small ones. The 103 cm height puts the top above bed height, so it doubles as a display and lamp surface. It does need an uninterrupted 130 cm of wall, which rules out most narrow rooms.
Can the Borneo lowboy be used outside the bedroom?
A 41.5 cm depth against a 130 cm width is the profile of a hallway or living-room unit as much as a bedroom one, so the Borneo also works for linen, documents, games or table linen. The oak-look melamine reads as a sideboard rather than bedroom-only furniture. Keep it out of direct sun and away from damp, since engineered board is less forgiving of moisture than timber.
