Later in the 1600s, what we usually call a chest of drawers gradually evolved. It began with a carcass containing a couple of drawers mounted on a stand with turned legs and progressed to the item that we would recognise now with drawers all the way to the floor. Also at this time, the use of veneer began. Thin pieces of carved or interesting coloured wood were glued to the carcass of the piece, initially as decorative panels and ultimately over the entire item.
