MELBOURNE TALLBOYS

If floor space is tight but your bedroom still needs more storage than a single chest of drawers can offer, a tallboy is usually the answer. By building up rather than out, a tallboy packs several drawers' worth of storage into a narrow footprint, making it one of the most space-efficient pieces you can add to a Melbourne bedroom, apartment, or smaller guest room. At Seconds Furniture, our tallboy range is priced up to 50% off RRP, with current savings across the collection sitting between roughly 30% and 50% off.

A quick look at what's currently in stock

Because our range changes as ex-demo and clearance pieces come and go, here's a snapshot of the kind of variety typically available:

• A solid acacia timber tallboy with a two-drawer-over-three-drawer configuration, reduced from $1,000 to around $499
• A mango wood, five-drawer tallboy with rich natural grain, reduced from $2,000 to around $989
• A compact black four-drawer tallboy, reduced from $650 to around $319
• Two versions of a natural-finish, five-drawer tallboy, discounted from $1,750 and $1,500 down to roughly $819 and $699, respectively
• A white four-drawer tallboy, reduced from $790 to around $519

Prices and stock shift as pieces sell, but this gives a realistic sense of both the range of finishes on offer and the scale of savings you can expect, often $300 to $1,000 off a single piece.

Choosing a Tallboy with a Drawer Configuration

Not all tallboys are built the same way, and drawer configuration affects how useful a piece is day to day:

• 4-drawer tallboys suit smaller bedrooms or anyone who doesn't need to store a full wardrobe's worth of folded clothing, good for a spare room, a teenager's bedroom, or as a secondary storage piece alongside a wardrobe.
• 5-drawer tallboys offer noticeably more capacity without taking up significantly more width, making them a strong all-rounder for a main bedroom.
• Split configurations (such as two smaller drawers over three larger ones) give you separate compartments for smaller items, socks, accessories, jewellery, alongside deeper drawers for bulkier folded clothing.

If you're replacing an existing piece, it's worth measuring not just the width and height of your space, but also drawer depth if you're planning to store bulkier items like jumpers or bedding.

A Note on Materials and Finishes

Solid timber tallboys, in acacia, mango wood, or similar hardwoods, tend to be heavier and more durable than veneer or laminate alternatives, and develop a richer look over time as the timber ages. They typically sit at a higher original RRP, which is exactly where the discount model makes the biggest difference: a solid mango wood tallboy that would usually be priced well beyond a typical bedroom furniture budget becomes genuinely accessible at 50% off.

Painted finishes, like black or white tallboys, tend to suit more contemporary or minimalist bedrooms, and are a practical choice if you want the piece to blend in with existing furniture rather than stand out as a feature.

Where a Tallboy Fits in Your Bedroom

A tallboy doesn't need to match your bed or dresser exactly to look intentional. Because it's a vertical piece, it works well:

• In a corner or against a narrow wall where a wider dresser wouldn't fit
• Alongside a bed as an alternative to a bedside table, if you need more storage than surface space
• Paired with a dresser rather than instead of one, splitting storage between hanging-height items and folded clothing

Why These Prices, and Why Stock Doesn't Hang Around

Every tallboy in this range is discounted for the same core reasons as the rest of our store: it's either an ex-demo piece that briefly featured in a showroom, supplier overstock, or a clearance item with a minor mark that doesn't affect its use. Because these are one-off batches rather than an ongoing production line, once a specific tallboy sells, it's typically not replaced with an identical item, so the range you see today may look noticeably different in a few weeks.
