Piece of furniture - not a wardrobe (7)
I believe the answer is:
dresser
'piece of furniture' is the definition.
(dresser is a kind of piece of furniture)
I cannot 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 "helps actor get ready" , "Lady's maid" , "Item of furniture with shelves and drawers" , "Sideboard with shelves on top" , "One putting things on" .)
