We purchased these pieces back in the 80's at some local auctions and shops in upstate NY. We have know idea on age, style. Any help identifying these would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to CW! I am not a furniture expert - I'd look out for Scott to speak about your pieces. But........the box on top of the bow front dresser would benefit from it's own post, ditto the carved/stained/marquetry box on the tall dresser.
You can most likely find information on the manufacturer(s) stamped on the back, in the drawers etc., or perhaps you'll find a label. Photos of the backs, and sides of drawers are necessary to date these dressers. The back of the mirror too - it has a beveled edge which is nice.
The tall dresser looks like pine? The hardware is original, but not antique. I'll leave others to talk about the bow front dresser and the cane seat rocker. You have some nice vintage pieces. Try using the descriptors in a google image search and you'll find similar items.
I'm rambling here - I'm sorry - I don't see evidence of dovetails, but that's why more photos are necessary. Dovetails are an indication of age and 'craftsmanship'. Okay, I'll be quiet now!
*its'* own...
Thanks for the information. I can look closer at the pieces and report back. The box on top the tall dresser was my dad's. Witch I know nothing about but I'll post a picture asap.

Took a quick look at our pieces and couldn't find any identifying marks or names.
