I need to make a distinction between these two words. My guess is dresser/chest of drawers - any thoughts?

tallboy/drawer unit
I've just bought a set of bedroom furniture and the terminology is frightening ...
I think the comò is what we used to call a tallboy or a chest of drawers, in a more banal fashion, but the "cassettiera" might well be a drawer unit that is part of a wardrobe, because we bought a huge wardrobe and we asked them to fit a "cassettiera" in one section ... it has six drawers.
