What is the difference between a dresser and a drawer?
1 Answer
The difference between a dresser and a drawer is that one is a piece of furniture, and the other is a storage feature found in many types of furniture. A drawer is a storage compartment that slides out of a surrounding frame, giving you access to whatever you place inside. Dresser is the term for a long, low piece of bedroom furniture that usually features two or more columns of drawers. Drawers are also found in built-in cabinetry, bathroom vanities, desks and other types of casegood furniture. On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of dressers.
