Put right pieces on top of dresser (4)
I believe the answer is:
mend
'put right' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'pieces on top of dresser' is the wordplay.
'pieces' becomes 'men' (man can mean a chess piece).
'on top of' suggests taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'dresser' is 'd'.
'men'+'d'='MEND'
(Other definitions for mend that I've seen before include "Make improvements" , "Fix, repair" , "Return to health; repair" , "'Restore, fix (4)'" , "Heal" .)
