A dresser is one of the few pieces of furniture you touch every single day, and one of the few where the thing that makes it good is invisible in the photo.
Drawer depth beats drawer count
Eight shallow drawers sound generous and are not. Folded jumpers need about 20 cm of depth; anything less and they get squashed flat, which is the same as being creased. Two deep drawers will hold more, more neatly, than four shallow ones.
The useful shape is the mixed one: shallow at the top for small things that would disappear in a deep drawer, deep at the bottom for anything folded.
Runners are the part that fails
The drawer that sticks is the drawer that stops getting used, and a dresser with one dead drawer is a dresser you have already outgrown. Look for full-extension runners — you should be able to reach the back of the drawer without leaning. Soft-close is a comfort, not a necessity; full extension is the opposite.
Height decides your habits
A dresser top at roughly waist height becomes a folding surface, which means clothes get folded. A dresser that is too tall becomes a shelf for keys and post, which means clothes get dumped. If you fold standing up, you want the top between 80 and 90 cm.
Measure the swing, not the footprint
The number that catches people out is not the width of the dresser. It is the width of the dresser plus the drawer pulled out, plus you standing in front of it. Add 90 cm to the depth and check that against the walking space in the room before you buy.
