A chest of drawers is the standard base design of most chests, and is a similar to a dresser and a bureau. The main distinction between a chest of drawers and a dresser is the way in which the drawers are arranged, and the general shape of the piece. A chest of drawers has drawers that typically run vertically within a taller and narrower base, whereas a dresser has drawers running vertically and horizontally within a wider and shorter base.
The variations of the standard chest of drawers base design are the chest on chest, mule chest, and lingerie chest designs. A chest on chest is most similar to the chest of drawer design, except it’s built in two pieces, with slightly larger drawers in the bottom piece and smaller drawers in the top piece. Lingerie chests are smaller, narrower versions of the basic chest of drawers which is ideal for smaller clothing pieces, such as lingerie. The door and mule chests are much larger, and elaborate versions of chests on chests, and have varied arrangements of doors and drawers.
