at all, a tall

At all or at all ( two words ) means in the slightest degree; in any way, or for any reason--
He won't mind at all if we are a bit late.
It was no trouble at all.
Why worry at all?

A tall or a tall ( two words ) describes one ( a ) person or thing of greater than average height--
He's a tall man; he has to stoop to get in the door.
On one side of the room there is a tall bookcase.

Now that you know that, you can say--
"He set it on top of a tall chest of draweres, where no one noticed it at all."
