A dresser is the same as a chest of drawers.
As the name suggests, "a cupboard" was originally a simple board or table on which to place cups or mugs - recorded use of such a name dates back to at least the Middle Ages. For the last few centuries, "cupboard" has referred to a storage area enclosed by doors.
