What is the difference between a Chester and a dresser?
The difference between a Chester and a dresser is shape and size. A Chester, or chest of drawers, usually has a narrow, vertical design, giving it the appearance of a column of drawers. A dresser is typically shorter and wider, making it look like two or more columns of drawers placed side by side. On 1stDibs, explore a wide range of dressers and chests of drawers.
