Chest on chest is another term for which stacked chest form?

• A. Tallboy
• B. Chest on chest
• C. Secretary
• D. Sideboard

Answer: (B)

In this topic, you’re looking at how furniture terms describe the way pieces are arranged. “Chest on chest” specifically names two chests placed one on top of the other to make a tall cabinet. That exact wording is used to describe the stacked configuration, so it’s the best fit for the prompt.

The other forms are different kinds of tall chests or combined pieces. A tallboy is a single tall chest of drawers, not two separate chests stacked. A secretary is a piece that combines a desk with storage, often with a slant-front writing surface. A sideboard is a long, low storage piece used in dining rooms. None of these describe two chests stacked on top of each other the way “chest on chest” does.
