Chifforobe

A chifforobe (/ˈʃɪfəˌroʊb/), also chiffarobe or chifferobe, is a closet-like piece of furniture that combines a long space for hanging clothes (that is, a wardrobe or armoire) with a chest of drawers.

[2][3] Chifforobes were first advertised in the 1908 Sears, Roebuck Catalogue, which described them as "a modern invention, having been in use only a short time.

"[citation needed] The term itself is a portmanteau of the words chiffonier and wardrobe.

[4] The word is used in the United States, primarily in the southern portion of the country,[5] in Puerto Rico,[6] and in Cuba.

[3] In those references, it was used as a water closet or potty (or more accurately a commode).
