What is a Chesser dresser?
A chesser dresser is used informally to refer to a cross between a chest and a dresser. Chessers are large pieces of storage furniture. They typically offer a mixture of drawers in that the drawer boxes come in a range of sizes for convenience (deeper drawers in the bottom drawer row of a chesser are great for storing larger pieces of clothing or textiles).
