every site that claims to tell me the difference just has a bunch of statements like "a dresser/chest is usually/typically/often blah blah blah" but nothing definitive. seems like something that may at one time have been a distinction but in the real world means nothing.
is the mirror required? I thought only grandparents have that.
seems like dressers are mostly landscape with multiple drawers per row while the chest is portrait and usually one column but this is more of a guideline than an actual rule.
