Dressers and Chests of Drawers- What to Buy?

Horizontal dresser- This is a standard dresser that usually consists of two to three rows of long, wide drawers and sometimes a top row of multiple smaller drawers. A horizontal dresser has plenty of tabletop space for storage or display – for example, a collection of favorite perfumes, a row of books, or a TV. Some models come with an included mirror that matches the style of the dresser. So, this can help you choose between dressers and chests of drawers. 

Double dresser- A double dresser is two dressers side by side with a connection. It has twice the drawer space as a single dresser, making it perfect for couples or families who need more storage. Double dressers are also great for larger bedrooms because they provide a symmetrical look.

Combo dresser- A combo dresser is a cross between a dresser and a chest of drawers. It usually has four to six drawers, with the top two being smaller than the bottom ones. Combo dressers are ideal for small bedrooms because they take up less floor space than a standard dresser.

Bachelor’s chest- A bachelor’s chest is a small, narrow chest with about three to four drawers and is traditionally for a single person with limited clothing storage needs.

Gentleman’s Chest- It is a tall cabinet section, which can hang suit jackets, dress pants, ties, and more. Some cabinets have rods for hanging clothes, while others have built-in shelves instead. A typical gentleman’s chest has about six to seven drawers.

Vertical Chest- A vertical chest is a tall, thin dresser and chest of drawers with multiple narrow drawers. Vertical chests are perfect for small spaces because they take up less floor space than a standard dresser. They are also great for storing long items such as dresses, coats, and pants.
