What is the difference between a dresser and an armoire?
1 Answer
The difference between a dresser and an armoire is in the shape and the type of storage that the furnishings provide. Dressers are usually wide, short casegoods that feature drawers for storing clothing, lingerie and accessories. Armoires are typically taller and narrower than dressers, and they usually provide a large storage area for hanging or stacking items hidden behind two doors. Some armoires also have lower drawers, but others don't. Find a wide range of dressers and armoires on 1stDibs.
