No, I was discovering my own entirely different illustration of this principle.

But, hmm, since you mention chests of drawers. I have one, which is rubbish; one thing I want to do after the immediate moving faff is over is to replace it with a better one. So if you've just bought some, are they any good, and if so where did you get them? In particular, do they have proper runners for the drawers, or do they do it the cheap way and just rely on pieces of plastic glued to the chest sliding through grooves on the outside of the drawers? My current one is the latter type, and the pieces of plastic keep falling off or warping or breaking.

They've got proper runners and seem pretty sturdy so far. I got Malm ones from Ikea: http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/categories/series/07468/

Aha, thanks. That could easily be just what I want, although I'll have to double-check the measurements once I find out how much space I really have in my new bedroom...

That's exactly what we have (well, to be precise, we have two of those, one in birch and one in oak, and two of the four-drawer ones too). What isn't obvious from that picture is that the top drawer is split into two smaller drawers - it's obvious if you, you know, COUNT the drawers, but it doesn't show up well in that particular image.

It was perfectly clear to me from that image, and in fact that was one of the reasons I like the look of it – the chest of drawers it'd be replacing has the top drawer split in two as well, so I wouldn't have to rethink where I keep everything :-)
