clothespress

Freestanding clothing storage

A clothespress is a piece of furniture for storing clothes—essentially a wardrobe or armoire with shelves or drawers rather than hanging space.

The word is old-fashioned; most people now say closet or wardrobe: The linens were kept in the clothespress in the hall.
