Monarch A1 6 Drawer Plan Chest

The Monarch A1 6 Drawer Plan Chest is a specialist large-format storage unit for artwork, plans, posters and other A1 materials. Designed for school and college art departments, classrooms, studios and creative workspaces, it keeps oversized sheets flat, separated and protected from the folds and edge damage associated with unsuitable shelving.

Six spacious drawers provide structured storage, with each drawer capable of holding up to 15 kg. The Monarch A1 6 Drawer Plan Chest is constructed from robust 18 mm MFC and is available in beech and maple finish combinations for a professional educational or studio environment.

Each drawer compartment measures 900 mm wide × 680 mm deep × 80 mm high, while the complete unit measures 1015 mm wide × 750 mm deep × 780 mm high. A five-year guarantee supports long-term use.

What makes this plan chest special

The Monarch A1 6 Drawer Plan Chest is designed around the needs of large flat materials. Instead of rolling plans or stacking artwork vertically, staff can place sheets across broad shallow drawers, preserving visibility and helping reduce creasing during storage.

Six separate levels allow departments to divide work by class, year group, project or document type. The shallow 80 mm internal height keeps contents organised without encouraging unmanageable deep piles.

Protecting artwork and large documents

The wide drawers of the Monarch A1 6 Drawer Plan Chest allow paper-based work to lie flat. This is useful for drawings, paintings, plans, design sheets, posters and presentation materials that could be damaged if folded, tightly rolled or placed in a crowded cupboard.

Separate drawers also reduce the need to move an entire collection to reach one item. Staff can identify the appropriate level, retrieve the required work and return it without disturbing unrelated projects.

Organised art-department storage

The Monarch A1 6 Drawer Plan Chest can give every class or project a defined storage position. Labels chosen by the setting may be added to make this system easier for colleagues and learners to follow, although labels are not supplied.

At the end of a lesson, work can be transferred from drying or display areas into the correct drawer. This helps keep shared studio surfaces available and supports a more efficient routine between sessions.

Supporting creative learning

Well-organised work allows teachers and students to revisit previous stages of a project. The plan chest can hold observational drawings, design development and final pieces separately, making it easier to review progress and compare techniques.

Educators may also use drawers for different paper stocks, large templates or display resources, provided each drawer remains within the stated 15 kg maximum load.

Professional construction and finish

Made from 18 mm MFC, the Monarch A1 6 Drawer Plan Chest is intended for regular use in educational and creative environments. Beech and maple combinations allow the unit to coordinate with a range of classroom and office furniture schemes.

Buyers should compare the overall dimensions with the intended location and delivery access, while the internal drawer dimensions help confirm that the specific materials to be stored are suitable.

Why choose the Monarch A1 6 Drawer Plan Chest
