Furniture for somebody rising? (7)

I believe the answer is:

dresser

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'furniture' is the definition.
(I know that dresser is a type of furniture)

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dresser that I've seen before include "Item of bedroom furniture" , "Tool for smoothing" , "Redress (anag.)" , "One chiding" , "Surgical assistant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
