They invest in furniture (8)

I believe the answer is:

dressers

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

'furniture' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for dressers that I've seen before include "ones employed backstage" , "Chests of drawers" , "Wardrobe assistants" , "Sideboards" , "They are found in theatres and in kitchens" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
