The Orchard Metal Plan Chest is built in Yorkshire for secure horizontal storage of A0 and A1 drawings. Steel drawers and frame, an inset MFC worktop, and multi-tone colour options — delivered fully assembled.
Models & Prices ConfigureAvailable in 6, 8, or 10 drawer models for A0 or A1 paper. Configure colours to match your studio or corporate finish, or call us for multi-colour and special matches.
Each drawer is folded and welded sheet steel, with a hole in the base so sheets lift out cleanly. The frame stops drawers being pulled fully out from the front. Metal D-handles (two per drawer) and an inset 18mm MFC worktop finish the cabinet. Nylon skids protect floors; castors and magnetic label holders are available.

We can make plan chests to meet many storage needs including musical instrument storage with felt lined drawers and specific dimensions or features.
The Orchard Metal plan chest is supplied with metal D-handles and an inset 18mm MFC work top. For safety, the design of the drawers and frame prevent the drawers from being completely removed from the front of the cabinet.
