What is the difference between a chest of drawers, a highboy, and a chiffonier?
A highboy is usually a tall chest with a legged base. A chiffonier is a high and narrow chest, often with a swivel mirror mounted at the top. Both items technically count as chests of drawers. What is a stretcher? Stretchers are pieces of wood which extend between chair legs. Genuine older furniture pieces will often have wear on the foremost stretcher. This is because stretchers in this location commonly operate as informal footrests.
