Hi, Anninmaine, and welcome to the forum.
.
Chester drawers is a nice find, and very widespread: it’s been discussed here before. See:
http://eggcorns.lascribe.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=426
for a bit of discussion and advice on how to search the site to see if something you find has been turned in before.

My mother has always deliberately used “chester drawers,” as a joke. And so of course I do now as well.
I always assumed it was only a joke. Like, maybe it was a character in a mellerdrama (er, melodrama), or a satirical novel.
