The shape of dressers varies greatly. Here are some types of dressers that you can choose and use at home.
Horizontal Dressers
This type is the standard type of dresser that is often used. Usually, the horizontal type consists of two to three rows of wide and long drawers. In some cases, you will find a horizontal dressing table with more small drawers on the top. Currently, it is available various sizes of drawers making them very versatile, allowing you to store different types of clothes or personal items.
Vertical Dresser
The vertical type is also known as the standard chest of drawers or the ‘tallboy.’ Unlike the horizontal type dressers, the vertical type is taller than it is wide. Vertical dressers are an excellent solution for you who have limited space but want to maximize your storage capacity. Vertical dressers usually consist entirely of drawers. However, in some designs, the top has a cupboard that technically makes the piece of furniture a wardrobe.
Double Dressers
The hallmark of the double dresser is its wide size which consists of two very wide drawer columns. This type of wardrobe is an ideal choice for couples who share a large room and have many items of clothing to store.
Combo Dressers
The combo dresser design is a combination of horizontal or vertical types. Most models combine the standard squat type with tall cabinets which allow for more storage options in one piece of furniture.
Combo Dressers with Changing Table
This type is a fraction of the combo type which is equipped with a changing table, aka a table for changing diapers and baby clothes. This dresser combo with a changing table is perfect for new parents who have limited space or don’t want to spend too much money on unnecessary furniture for a child’s nursery. The height of this dressing table is usually around the height of adult’s hip. That way, when you change baby clothes, there is no need to bend over the dressing table.
Combo Dresser with Loft Bed
This dresser consists of a loft bed, also referred to as cabin bed or bunk bed. In set of furniture, there is a chest of drawers mounted under or beside the bed. It is usually installed for children’s rooms. The drawers are not only very useful for storing clothes, they can also used as a play area or table space.
Bachelor’s Chest
A characteristic of the bachelor’s chest is its small and narrow size with about three to four drawers. Generally, the shape is squat and often small enough to be used as a nightstand. Traditionally, this type is designed for one person who has limited clothing storage requirements.
Gentleman’s Chest
The next type is a configuration where the drawer column is paired with a large, vertically oriented cabinet door. This type is designed for hang coats, ties, trousers, and more. Some will have rods to hang clothes, while others will feature built-in shelves instead.
Lingerie Chest (Semainier)
The last is a type of lingerie chest which is also known as a seminier. This type holds seven drawers, which are meant for each day of the week. The design is tall, long, with deep, narrow drawers. Typically, this type of chest of drawers is used to store smaller items of clothing such as underwear and socks.
