I can not find a single Bassett 6 drawer highboy online that has the top on it like yours has. I did find one dresser that has the exact same handles on it that yours does. This one was from the Eden House Collections and it was a Cherry Double Dresser. I checked more than one place who has Bassett dressers listed and not a single site I checked that has the top on the highboy like you do. You should check on the bottom or back of the dresser for a label. This one should help.
Bassett is still in business, so maybe call them and see if you can email them a photo. Their number is 1.877.525.7070.
Have you checked for a mark in the drawers (either on the drawer itself--inside or outside or in the drawer well?
Ethan Allen and Pennsylvania House made pieces that look just like yours, but they are marked as above.
There were store brands that made these pieces, those were often unmarked or had paper tags that fell off along the way.
Post back what you learn! Thanks for sharing!
From all research that I've done over the years, a 'good' brand of furniture will almost always have their name imprinted somewhere - usually on the inside of the drawers and sometimes on the back (Antiques can be exceptions sometimes). Some had paper tags but the ones I've seen with paper tags had them 'stapled' where at least part of the tag usually remained for many years.
If your chest does not have a brand stamped somewhere it is probably a chest made by a company that produced furniture and sold to many different stores - such as Rhodes or even Ikea - (stores can carry off brand as well as brand name pieces).
Most of these companies copied (as close as legally possible) brand name styles that were popular at the time - these are commonly called 'knock-offs' but can still be very well made and not necessarily cheap.
Here are some good examples of this style that have brand names (almost all companies have made this top highboy at some time over the years).

Let us know if you find a brand name anywhere and someone will help you further.
I had a Bassett bedroom set growing up. The Bassett logo was on each of the drawers. If it is not there, it is not a Bassett.
