Chest of drawers from the 18th century, collection King Baudouin Foundation. A chest of drawers, also called (especially in North American English) a dresser or a bureau, [1] is a type of cabinet (a piece of furniture) that has multiple parallel, horizontal drawers generally stacked one above another.

[2] [3] There are at least two ways to make the full interior of a drawer visible, while still being completely supported by the cabinet.

Some chests are equipped with locking mechanisms or a metal band that a lock can be secured on.
