base with deep drawers

Explanation:
It's not a chest of drawers - they are "cassettiere" - it's a base with deep drawers - very trendy now, for storing pots and pans or pasta.

I think "cono" is a typo for "con o " - meaning they come with or are fitted with a dual container system (i.e. it's either standard or an optional). I know - I've just bought a new kitchen - cool!!! You can see all your teaspoons!
I recommend you look up some English websites for kitchens.
