I have a large dresser in my bedroom between two door ways. This area is directly above the center of the kitchen downstairs. I've notice the drywall cracking for several months and it seems to be getting worse. I first notices the issue several months after my wife purchased the dresser.
No. The house would have to structurely unsound! If you parked your car on the second floor, yes, but not a dresser!

A very heavy stationary load placed near the center of the span could possibly cause the floor joists to deflect just enough to cause drywall cracks and nail pops. Especially, if they used 2x8 joists at the maximum allowable span.
