The A1 5 drawer Milano Metal plan chest is a brilliantly simple compact paper storage solution for A1 paper and artwork.

The 5x 55mm deep drawers each run on 4 super smooth roller bearings and the drawer fronts feature a metal D handle and integrated label holders.

An optional leg frame is available to raise the plan chest up to a required height. We will discuss the exact required height before your plan chest goes into production.

The enclosed design of the Milano plan chest provides security and protection for your paper, with the ability to lock the entire plan chest with a single key.

  • Paper Size A1
  • Dimensions 1130W x 795D x 550H
  • Drawer Depth 55mm
  • Weight 84kg
  • Construction Steel carcass, steel drawers
  • Finish White (also available in grey)
  • Handles Silver metal 'D' handles (1 per drawer)

Are they easy to assemble?
Minimal assembly is required - Each 5 drawer section is supplied complete, only the top and plinth require attaching which is easy and convenient to do when situating the plan chest in its final location.

Are metal plan chests stronger than wooden?
All our plan chests are built to be 'student proof' and the Milano comes with a five year warranty. However, if maximum robustness is key then a metal plan chest would be most suitable.

Can you deliver and install?
Yes. We will gladly quote you for full delivery and installation by our professional team. Contact us on 01924 291333.

Are the drawers removable?
Yes. The Milano style plan chest allows drawers to be fully removed from the front.

Can you do them in other colours?
Yes. We can quote for these plan chests in special finishes. Contact us on 01924 291333.

Excellent service from Steve and Matt at The Big Orchard - brought my 37 year old board in for new wires etc but ended up buying a smaller A1 board which is so much better for my needs now - friendly service at the right price !šŸ‘šŸ˜Š

Amazing service. I bought a drawing board that was 30 years old. I rang and asked them about updating the straight edge and was told to bring it in. They quickly made it as good as new again. A very friendly and helpful team of people.

Well what can I say, fabulous service provided by Matt and the team. I have a wooden Big Orchard plans chest, had it for several years and it's been so useful and durable. Amazingly, considering its strength, one of the handles was broken (I blame my large teenage son and his acrobatics) so i slightly desperately contacted Matt to see if another could be sourced. Response was almost by return, with a promise of a search for this now superseded style of handle. Picture Matt amongst many dusty boxes and hey presto! He magically produced not one but two replacement handles and these were speedily despatched for an easy repair. Brilliant service. So impressed. Many thanks Sarah

Bought a plan chest from this company 5 years ago and it is still in great order. Quality product.

Our beautiful, and I mean beautiful, oak plan chest arrived today and has exceeded all our expectations. We spent a long time looking for the right one and we definitely found it at The Big Orchard. I really want to thank everyone who had a hand in making and getting this beautiful piece of furniture to our home. From the really informative and well-designed website with Matt explaining all the details, to the creation and expertise in actually making the chest, to whomever packed it up so BRILLIANTLY, to the safe and swift delivery to one of the trickiest parts of the UK, to the personal service from start to finish. It is rare for us to be so delighted that we had to say something! The fact that you ring up, get the person that you need to speak to immediately feels very unusual nowadays and I love it. Matt was an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish and we are thrilled with what we have brought. Buying an item that you cannot actually see until it arrives has a lot of risk with untrustworthy representation online - but not with The Big Orchard. It is accurate or actually even better than hoped for and we love it. Thank you all so much.

Very happy with my drawing board, and it's nice to know it was made locally. You might wait a while for delivery, but these are made to order and great quality, so good things come to those who wait.

Very good quality precision drawing board. I purchased mine to carry out architectural drawings. I've used others which don't compare to the quality of this one. Each drawing board is made to order so delivery time is approximately 1 week but the product is worth the wait.

I'm very pleased with my A2 Priory Drawing Board with a counterweight parallel rule. It took a little longer to arrive than I anticipated because it was built to order, but it is good quality, exactly what I need for use on my desktop, and easy to fold away when I'm not using it.

I’m blown away with the professionalism and top quality service and products by the big orchard. Steve was extremely helpful in helping me out with my A2 Bretton board. Will definitely be using again in the future.
