Answer

In American English, the term "dresser" refers specifically to a piece of furniture with drawers used for storing clothing or personal items. The equivalent term for the UK term "dresser" would be a "sideboard" or a "buffet." These terms are used to describe a lower piece of furniture with drawers and cupboards, often used for storage and serving food.
