Made of wood that's coated with a heat and stain-resistant finish, it's designed to be extra sturdy and durable so you can count on it to be with you for years to come. Plus, it's fully lockable and easy to move around thanks to the four wheels fitted on the bottom.

This interesting pick from IKEA has a built-in smart lock feature that can give you peace of mind if you're storing precious items. The cabinet is also raised on a set of castors, and as it's entirely made of steel, you can attach magnets to the outside. Now, you've got your very own mobile pinboard!

If you're looking for something to store any sensitive or precious belongings, we think this should be one of your top considerations. The golden brown colour adds a unique vintage feeling, but if you find this colour hard to blend with your other furniture, it comes in beige too!

The entire structure is sturdy, and due to the engineered wood, guarantees durability. With four omnidirectional wheels, you can easily move it around (even when it's full) and lock it in place to prevent sliding. It's also available in either a stylish all-black or all-white colour, which should easily fit in with most rooms.

We love the combination of the rustic brown and solid black steel frame that gives this desk drawer a unique, industrial look. But this pick isn't just winning in terms of design, as it offers ample space and organisation opportunities!

The top features an open compartment, with a standard size drawer on the second level and a larger, deeper, lower drawer with hanging file folders to store any documents and paperwork. All of this sits on top of four wheels, so you can easily move it around and lock it in place when you need to. 

Thanks to its clean, minimalistic design, the ALEX Drawer unit from IKEA is a great fit for any space. It can be neatly tucked under your desk to save room or be used as a standalone item to display its stylish design. 

With a total of five drawer compartments (two small + three medium), you'll have plenty of space to organise your belongings. The bottom castors mean that you can move it to wherever you wish so that you can have everything you need without having to go back and forth. 

Up next is another unit from Office Hippo that has excellent ratings on Amazon, and it's easy to see why. It's so convenient that it comes pre-assembled; all you have to do is attach the feet and silver handles. Made using grey oak, it doesn't just look amazing, it's extremely durable and sturdy! The durability is enhanced even more by the heat and stain-resistant finish. 

You get two medium-sized drawers at the top and a larger, taller one at the bottom, which can be used for filing documents or stowing away larger things. All of these can be locked so that you can keep your valuables safe. Alas, given its outstanding quality and features, this is the priciest option on our list.

Looking for something minimal and lightweight? Consider the LENNART drawer unit from IKEA! The entire frame is made of steel and features see-through drawers thanks to their unique mesh borders. Each drawer can only fit A4 sizes of paper, though, so it's definitely one of the smaller options on our list. 

But, if you're not planning to store many items and have a smaller desk, this is a great choice. It even has two wheels at the back, so you can move it around easily. Nevertheless, it does require self-assembly, and according to some reviews, the structure can be a bit flimsy if it's not done right.

Although this is technically a printer cabinet that's meant to stand on its own, if your desk is large enough, you'll be able to use it as a desk drawer too! This is an especially good option if you prefer a more open plan concept where you can view all your items.

You'll have plenty of storage options and a shelf that can be adjusted as you wish. The unit also features four castor wheels, with two that can be locked in place, making it moveable and safe. On the downside, assembly is required before it can be used, so make sure that you have the right tools to set it up. 

Vinsetto's white metal filing cabinet is perfect for organising everything you need so that it's within reach whilst working at your desk. The lockable compartments make it a great storing place for your sensitive items too. 

It's a really spacious unit, with two small and one large drawer, plus it features four omnidirectional wheels on the bottom, meaning it's also mobile. However, while the lack of handles adds to the clean look, opening the drawers may be a little inconvenient. 

Another great option for smaller desks, this simple, compact, and open-plan unit is great if you're short on space. The drawer comes with a lock to securely store important belongings such as your wallet, money, passport, or other sensitive documents. 

Meanwhile, the bottom layer is an open space where you can stow bulkier items such as your bag, storage boxes, water bottles, or other bigger items. On the downside, it doesn't come with wheels, but it is really lightweight and easily movable.
