Closet drawer?

Are those big furniture with large drawers used to store clothes called "closet drawers"?

I'm pretty sure every household has one and at least some people know what I'm talking about?

GCheng620 I'm pretty sure every household has one I don't think so; we don't. However, the term is understandable.

The picture seems to be a fixture in what we call a "walk-in closet" where it is virtually possible to get dressed because the closet is so big. Another piece of furniture in the U.S. is simply a "chest of drawers", usually found in the bedroom.

In my dialect, at least, a tall (chest or shoulder-height), narrow piece of furniture that consists of drawers is typically called a "chest of drawers", while a short (waist-height), wide piece of furniture that consists of drawers is called a "dresser". Dressers also often have mirrors placed above them. The mirror may be part of the furniture or may be attached to the wall directly.
