That's how my paternal grandmother, may she rest in peace, referred to a dresser, as a bureau. Whether that's the influence of her native Ukraine, I know not. Imagine Efrem Zimbalist Jr. starring on "The FDI". :-)

My mother and granny referred to dressers/bureaus as ‘chesserdrawers’ and that’s what I always called them. Then my MIL asked me what in the world was I talking about and I realized I’d never stopped to think what was I really saying All that time we were badly mangling “chest of drawers” Now that I know what I’m saying, I still say ‘chesserdrawers’ with pride!
