IKEA HEMNES Dresser Dimensions: Will It Fit Your Room?
The HEMNES 8-drawer dresser's size, the space to open the drawers and a quick way to try one in your room.
The IKEA HEMNES 8-drawer dresser is 63 in wide, 19 5/8 in deep and 37 3/4 in high (160 × 50 × 96 cm). Leave 24 in (60 cm) in front so the drawers open and you can stand at it, and 18 in (45 cm) at the least. On a wall it needs a room about 44 in (111 cm) deep.
HEMNES Dresser Sizes
- 8-drawer: 63 × 19 5/8 × 37 3/4 in (160 × 50 × 96 cm). Width, depth and height.
- Drawers: 16 7/8 in (43 cm) long. An open drawer reaches about that far into the room. The three drawer sizes are 11 3/8, 25 5/8 and 25 5/8 in (29 and 65 cm) wide.
- Legs: the dresser stands 4 3/8 in (11 cm) off the floor. That is the gap under the bottom drawer.
- Higher than a low dresser. At 37 3/4 in it is chest height, so check what is on the wall above it.
- Other HEMNES sizes: HEMNES also has 3-drawer and 6-drawer chests and a taller one. Each has its own size, so check the listing.
Space You Need Around It
The gaps are the same as for any dresser. A drawer is 16 7/8 in (43 cm) long and opens that far, and you need room to stand.
- In front, comfortable: 24 in (60 cm). Room for a drawer to come out and for you to stand at it.
- In front, tight: 18 in (45 cm). The drawer comes out, but you stand to one side.
- Room depth on a wall: about 44 in (111 cm). The 19 5/8 in (50 cm) dresser plus 24 in (60 cm) in front.
Where It Fits
At 63 in (160 cm) wide, a HEMNES dresser takes a wall of about 5 ft 4 in (1.6 m). It suits a bedroom wall or the foot of a bed. If it faces the bed, keep 24 in (60 cm) between them.
It is heavy when full, so anchor it to the wall, particularly in a home with children.
