armoire

Tall storage cabinet

An armoire is a tall, freestanding wardrobe or cabinet, typically with doors and used for storing clothes.

The word retains its French spelling and pronunciation in English, giving it a slightly upscale connotation compared to plain wardrobe or closet: The bedroom featured an antique armoire instead of a built-in closet.
