chest of drawers

Stacked storage furniture

A chest of drawers is a piece of furniture containing several horizontal drawers stacked vertically, used for storing clothing and other items.

The drawers slide in and out on rails.

Unlike a dresser, which typically has a mirror attached, a chest of drawers is usually taller than it is wide: She folded the sweaters and put them in the chest of drawers.
