Dresser, chest of drawers, buffet cabinet: what's in a name?

Dresser, chest of drawers, buffet cabinet... there are only few pieces of furniture that have as many names as the "dresser." Although they are all cabinets used for storage, there is a subtle difference. And it primarily has to do with the function of the cabinet and the room in which the cabinet is located. 

  • Made-to-measure dresser in Sunset colour with push-to-open doors

    Commode

    Originally designed as a low cabinet with drawers to store clothing, bedding, or other items, the commode is often found in bedrooms or nurseries, where it also serves as a changing table.

    Dresser

    A dresser is typically wider and longer than a commode, consisting of drawers and doors. You'll find this piece of furniture in dining and living rooms to store dishes, glasses, or table linens. Its flat top also makes it suitable for displaying decorations.

  • Made-to-measure buffet cupboard in Seashell and Essential Oak colours

    Buffet Cabinet

    The distinction becomes smaller here, as the buffet cabinet combines the storage space of a commode with the display element of a china cabinet. This cabinet is often open, but of course, you can customize it as you prefer.

How tall should your commode or dresser be?

When determining the ideal height and depth for your commode or dresser, it's good to consider comfort, usability, and style. When these three factors are balanced, you'll have a practical piece of furniture that meets all your needs.

The ideal dimensions for a (baby) commode

The average height of a commode ranges between 90 and 105 cm. However, consider your own height to ensure a comfortable posture. If you're using the commode as a changing table for your baby, make sure the worktop is at least 75 cm long and 55 to 60 cm deep to accommodate the changing pad and other baby items.

How tall should your dresser be?

Usually, the height of a dresser is around 90 cm, but your ideal height depends on various factors. If your dresser stands freely in the room, you can choose the height freely. If you place the dresser next to a dining table, it's best to follow the height of that table. Also, consider movement space when determining the depth, especially with open doors.
