Seems dressers come in a wide range of sizes, but I've never had the problem of one not being tall enough -- but that's probably because I'm only 5'4" tall, lol. The one you purchased is lovely!Pam in ILhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09699986749730800604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736705671514488281.post-16758928494434185262015-08-09T13:07:56.028-04:002015-08-09T13:07:56.028-04:00It does look lovely.

All to put clothes in, or stuff. I measured my bureaus are 34" tall, except for an old mahogany one used as a "dresser" in the kitchen it is 36 in tall, where I store tablecloths and napkins. I personally love bureaus a bit on the tall side, I am 5 ' 10". Like the look of the one you saw Shirlee reminds me of mission furniture.

Those are the wide ones. One suite included two tall ones (25 years ago)--one for clothes and one for 'underwear' (that one has stash stuff in it!!) Both are about 5 feet tall. Yours is even taller than both my wide ones...

To me ...Now we encounter the language differences. To me a dresser is a large sideboard you would keep in the kitchen or dining room. It would have cupboards with doors at the bottom, then a drawer, then some shelves, maybe some glass cupboards to display the best ornaments. Google Welsh Dresser for examples.<br />The thing you keep your clothes in your bedroom would be a chest of drawers or maybe a dressing table. Which would have a mirror built in to it so you sit in front of it to do your hair and makeup.Jo who can't think of a clever nicknamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02663450738390351663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736705671514488281.post-6695539113841044892015-08-07T08:49:16.708-04:002015-08-07T08:49:16.708-04:00Good Morning my friend!

I store lots and lots of shirts and stuff in them. We have had our set since our wedding in '92. Maybe you will get used to it. I have never known different, and I am 5' 11"!!!!

Also, years ago, people us...Yeah, Edgar is correct. Also, years ago, people used chifforobes to hang their clothes. At one time in the new USA, closets were either small or non-existent because they counted as a room and thus the homeowner was required to pay taxes based on the additional square feet inside the closet. So, perhaps older dressers were not really meant to store clothing. After all, the Amish do tend to retain many of the older traditions. Many modern furniture pieces are smaller, especially if they are intended for a child or youth. 'Could be that today we have so many large closets that large dressers aren't really needed.

I keep photo's and papers in. I use a tall cherry wood dresser (it comes to my shoulder) with 5 deep and hefty drawers bought by my grandmother in about 1918/19 when she first set up house. It's a godsend, not only does it hold my sweat shirts, pants and sweaters but the deep top drawer is divided for socks and underoos. I do like the look of the dresser you bought!! and I do love cherry wood!!Edgarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00837185107544953448noreply@blogger.com
