Dressers
Dressers or chests are one of the few bedroom furnishings rich in tradition as well as practical in design. Dressers, which include storage dressers, lingerie chests and hope chests, provide ample room for blankets, linens and extra clothing. Some storage chests are cedar-lined to repel insects.
