Which furniture form combines a tallboy and a chest on chest?

• A. Armoire
• B. Linenpress
• C. Tallboy Chest on Chest
• D. Highboy

Answer: (C)

Merging storage ideas in furniture often yields a piece that is tall, densely drawer-filled, and capable of fitting more into a single cabinet. A tallboy gives height and many drawers, while a chest on chest stacks two chests to multiply drawer space and increase stature. When a single form draws on both concepts, you get a tallboy chest on chest—the name itself signals the blend of a tallboy with a chest-on-chest arrangement. This hybrid was used in 18th-century interiors to maximize storage in one tall, elegant cabinet. An armoire is a wardrobe-style cabinet, a linenpress is a linen storage cabinet with doors and shelves, and a highboy refers to a tall chest of drawers on legs without necessarily combining two chests into one stacked piece.
