Lambton 5-Drawer Hiboy (Tallboy) – Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the Lambton 5-Drawer Hiboy?
The Lambton 5-Drawer Hiboy is a tall, space-efficient dresser from our Lambton Collection. Also commonly called a Tallboy dresser, it provides five drawers of storage in a vertical design. It is an excellent choice when you want generous clothing storage without taking up as much floor space as a long dresser.
2. Is a Hiboy the same thing as a Tallboy dresser?
The terms Hiboy and Tallboy are often used to describe a taller, narrower chest of drawers. If you are searching for a solid wood tallboy dresser, highboy, hiboy, or vertical chest of drawers, the Lambton 5-Drawer Hiboy fits this general style beautifully.
3. What is the Lambton Hiboy made from?
The Lambton 5-Drawer Hiboy is available in wormy maple, a hardwood loved for its natural character. Instead of perfectly uniform grain, wormy maple can feature mineral streaks, knots, colour variations, and distinctive markings. These characteristics mean that every Lambton dresser has a little personality of its own.
4. Why choose a tall dresser instead of a long dresser?
A tall dresser makes excellent use of vertical space. If your bedroom has limited wall or floor space, the Lambton Hiboy provides five drawers while maintaining a relatively compact footprint. It can be particularly useful in smaller bedrooms, guest rooms, cottages, or rooms where a large horizontal dresser simply won't fit.
5. Are different stain colours available?
Yes. The Lambton Hiboy is available in a large number of stain colour options. This allows you to personalize the appearance of your wormy maple dresser rather than settling for a single factory-selected colour. Light finishes can showcase the natural variation of the wood, while deeper stains can give the dresser a warmer and richer appearance.
6. Can I choose the handles for my Lambton Hiboy?
Yes. Different handle options are available, giving you another way to customize your dresser. Pairing your preferred handles with your chosen stain can make a noticeable difference in the finished style, whether you are aiming for farmhouse, rustic, traditional, or a cleaner updated look.
7. Can I match the Hiboy with other pieces in the Lambton Collection?
Yes. The Hiboy is part of our larger Lambton Collection, making it easy to coordinate with Lambton beds, nightstands, long dressers, and other pieces. Choosing the same stain and hardware throughout the room creates a matching bedroom set while the natural variation of wormy maple keeps each piece interesting.
8. Who is the Lambton 5-Drawer Hiboy a good choice for?
The Lambton Hiboy is particularly well suited to someone looking for a solid wood dresser made in Ontario without the width of a traditional long dresser. For homeowners in London, Sarnia, and throughout Southwestern Ontario who appreciate Canadian-made furniture, natural wood character, and customizable finishes, the Lambton Tallboy is a practical and attractive bedroom storage option.
