In British English, a piece of bedroom furniture featuring multiple sliding compartments used for storing folded clothes is commonly referred to as a chest of drawers rather than a dresser. While Americans frequently use 'dresser' as the primary term for this bedroom furniture piece—often including an attached mirror—British speakers reserve 'dresser' primarily for kitchen furniture, specifically a traditional kitchen dresser featuring open shelving on top and cupboards or enclosed drawers below.
