Choose the 56-inch Palo dresser unless the wider 65-inch model solves a specific storage or wall-balance problem and the entire delivery route can accept it. Both dressers have the same published depth and height. The larger one adds exactly 9 inches of width, so that extra width has to work twice: first through every doorway and turn, then on the final nursery wall.
The difference is one dimension
The Palo Double Dresser 56, SKU 13036, measures 55.75 x 19.5 x 35.25 inches. The Palo King Dresser 65, SKU 13046, measures 64.75 x 19.5 x 35.25 inches. Natart publishes those exact product dimensions on the maker's 56-inch dresser page and 65-inch dresser page.
The depth and height are identical; only the width changes. The names round the two sizes to 56 and 65 inches, while the exact listed widths are 55.75 and 64.75 inches. For wall planning and access, use the exact figures rather than the rounded names.
A simple wall example shows why the quarter-inch details matter. A 60-inch clear wall segment rules out the 64.75-inch dresser before any delivery questions begin. The 55.75-inch dresser leaves 4.25 inches of total wall length before accounting for trim, outlets or another obstruction. On a 70-inch segment, both cabinets fit by width alone, but the 56-inch model leaves 14.25 inches while the 65-inch model leaves 5.25. Those remainders are not recommended clearances; they simply show how much of the measured wall remains for the rest of the layout.
Both models show the same broad two-column, three-row drawer arrangement. The wider cabinet gives each row more horizontal span, but Natart does not publish usable interior drawer volume on these pages. Do not convert the 9-inch exterior difference into a storage-volume promise.
Measure the whole delivery route
A clear final wall does not prove that either dresser can reach it. Follow the actual path from the building entrance to the final position and identify the controlling point in each stage.
Record the route as a series of bottlenecks, not an average. For each tight point, note the clear width, clear height, turning space and any fixed obstruction. The smallest doorway or most awkward landing controls the result; a generous front entrance cannot cancel a tight turn upstairs. Photos with the tape measure visible can help an order or delivery team understand a route that is difficult to describe.
1. Building entry
Use the clear opening with the door open, not the outside edge of the frame. Door hardware, thresholds, vestibules and a second door can reduce usable space. In a multi-unit building, include the elevator door, elevator interior and any service-entry rules in this first gate.
2. Hallways and turns
A straight hallway may be wide enough while the turn into it is not. Note the narrowest clear width and the space opposite every turn, including fixed trim, radiators, railings and light fixtures. The dresser may need to rotate, so a single doorway number cannot settle the route.
3. Stairs and landings
For stairs, the limiting point may be between handrails, under a low ceiling or at a landing where the dresser must change direction. The extra 9 inches of cabinet width can become consequential at that turn even when both models clear the stair width. Do not assume removable feet or hardware will solve the route unless the current manufacturer instructions confirm what may be removed for transport.
4. Nursery door and final wall
The last doorway can still stop the larger dresser. Beyond it, the final wall needs to accept the cabinet without blocking the room door, closet access, floor vent or required wall anchoring. Because both Palos are 19.5 inches deep and 35.25 inches high, the final-placement trade-off is almost entirely the extra 9 inches of wall width.
Product size is not package size
Natart's published product dimensions do not include package dimensions. They also do not state on these product pages whether the dresser reaches the home fully assembled, partly assembled or in a box that changes the controlling measurement. Product width alone therefore cannot guarantee a successful delivery route.
Before relying on a tight route, obtain four order-specific facts: package dimensions, the delivered assembly state, which parts may be removed under the manufacturer's instructions, and where the purchased delivery service stops. Stair carry, room-of-choice placement, unpacking and assembly are service terms, not features implied by the dresser listing.
This uncertainty favours the 56-inch model when the route is close and the extra wall width has no defined purpose. It does not mean the 65-inch dresser will fail. It means the larger model needs a confirmed path rather than a guess based on its 19.5-inch depth.
Check the dresser in use, not only against the wall
The published product depth is 19.5 inches. Neither product page includes an open-drawer projection. Preserve enough room for a user to stand, open a drawer and pass through the room without colliding with the crib, chair or door. A tight final layout therefore needs that model-specific figure before purchase.
The wider dresser can be worthwhile when the wall is long, the route is generous and the additional horizontal drawer span has a clear job. The 56-inch dresser is the more forgiving choice when a door swing, closet edge or walking path makes those 9 inches consequential.
Anchor either dresser after placement
Delivery fit is separate from safe installation. Health Canada advises anchoring furniture to the wall with an anti-tip device, following the manufacturer's assembly instructions, putting heavier items in lower drawers, closing drawers when not in use and opening only one drawer at a time.
Natart lists a dual-interlock system and factory-installed anti-tip straps for both Palo dressers. Use those features as directed and complete the wall attachment required for the exact furniture and wall construction. A successful delivery is not a finished installation until the unit is stable and secured.
Choose 56 or 65
Choose the 56-inch Palo when its six-drawer layout meets the need, when the route or wall has tight points, or when the extra 9 inches have no defined job. Choose the 65-inch Palo when the longer wall span is useful and every part of the packaged delivery route, final drawer zone and anchoring location has been confirmed.
Both current models can be found in the nursery furniture collection. The right size is the one that can travel from entrance to wall and still leave the room usable after the drawers open.
