SONGMICS BELLAH 9-drawer chest of drawers (steel, slate grey) LGS324G101
Product description
The essentials
If you want a storage unit that feels a bit more practical than a traditional wooden chest, the SONGMICS BELLAH 9-drawer chest (LGS324G101) is worth a close look. It mixes a steel frame with boards and fabric drawers, aiming for a blend of sturdiness, softer drawer fronts, and plenty of hidden organisation.
On paper, it’s designed for people who like to keep everyday items sorted by type: larger pieces in the bigger drawers and smaller items (or “misc.” that always seems to multiply) in the smaller ones. The top surface is also there for daily-use essentials—think lamps, clocks or frequently grabbed items.
Key features
The headline is the drawer layout: 4 larger drawers and 3 smaller drawers. That gives you a straightforward way to separate bulkier belongings from smaller bits, without needing extra baskets or inserts.
Material-wise, this chest leans into durability and practicality. It uses a steel structure, particle board, and fabric drawers with a non-woven fabric look. There’s also an MDF structure involved in the drawer construction, which helps explain why it’s positioned as a stable storage piece rather than a lightweight stand.
A couple of things are especially relevant if you’re outfitting a home where stability matters: adjustable feet help it sit properly on slightly uneven floors, and an anti-tipping kit is included. It’s one of those features that doesn’t get headlines, but it’s the sort of safety detail you’ll be glad to have.
What you’ll notice day to day
In everyday use, the fabric drawers make the unit feel a touch more forgiving than all-rigid storage. They’re also typically easier to manage if you’re frequently opening and closing drawers through the day—like in a hallway for shoes accessories, or in a bedroom where you’re doing quick changes.
The top surface is described as supporting up to 40 kg, which is a handy capacity if you want to place a lamp, a framed photo, or a small display without overthinking it. That said, storage chests can vary in real-world load comfort depending on how you distribute weight, so it’s still sensible to avoid loading the centre point heavily.
You also get a “mix and match” vibe from the BELLAH collection idea—pairing it with a bedside table from the same range is suggested for a coordinated look. It’s not essential, but if you’re trying to keep a room cohesive, it’s a useful direction.

Who it suits (and who should skip it)
It’s a good fit if you’re after practical storage for a bedroom, closet area, hallway, or living room, and you like the idea of separating items into different drawer sizes. It also makes sense if you want a unit that’s relatively straightforward to assemble, as it comes with numbered parts and detailed instructions plus the tools needed.
It might not be the best choice if you’re expecting a fully rigid, all-wood wardrobe-style chest feel throughout. Fabric drawers are designed to work and look convenient, but they’re not the same as drawers with purely solid fronts. Also, if you’re looking for an ultra-premium finish or furniture-level craftsmanship, this sits more in the practical mid-range approach rather than “designer heirloom” territory.
Maintenance and setup notes
Assembly is described as straightforward, with numbered components and included tools. Still, if you’re buying this for a smaller space, it’s worth clearing the area properly before you start so you can lay out parts and avoid scrambling mid-setup.
For long-term stability, make sure the adjustable feet are set so the chest sits firmly. And don’t leave the anti-tipping kit for “later” — it’s included for a reason.
Mini FAQ
Is this chest suitable for a bedroom or hallway?
Yes, the intended use includes bedrooms, closets, hallways, and living rooms, so it’s designed as a versatile storage piece rather than something only for one room.
Can I put items on top, like a lamp?
The top surface is stated to support up to 40 kg, so lamps, clocks, and similar everyday items should be within the described capability.
How is the storage split between drawers?
There are 4 larger drawers and 3 smaller drawers, giving you a simple way to organise bulky items separately from smaller essentials.
Does it include safety features?
Adjustable feet are included for uneven floors, and an anti-tipping kit is also provided.
Is assembly difficult?
Instructions are described as detailed, with numbered parts and included tools, which generally points to a manageable home-assembly job—though any flat-pack still takes a bit of time and patience.
Should you buy it?
Worth considering if you want a slate grey 9-drawer storage unit with a steel structure, fabric drawers for everyday convenience, and a sensible safety setup (anti-tipping kit plus adjustable feet). It’s especially suitable when you need hidden organisation in a bedroom, hallway or closet area.
Better avoided if you strongly prefer rigid, fully traditional drawer fronts, or if you’re expecting a top-tier premium build feel. And if you’re the kind of buyer who loads furniture heavily in one spot, you’ll want to distribute weight thoughtfully even with the stated capacity figures.
