How do I see if a full object deeply equals another full object in Chai?

Nothing I try seems to do this -- I'm guessing I'm doing something very wrong, or I'm asking it to do something it simply cannot.

clone_spec.js 
var expect = require('chai').expect

describe('clone', function () {
    var clone = require('./clone.js')
    it('some description string', function () {

        // YOUR CODE HERE

    })
})
clone.js 
function clone (objectForCloning) {
    return Object.assign({}, objectForCloning)
}

module.exports = clone

Welp...I was overthinking what the challenge wanted, but if people have good solutions to this problem, I still think they could prove valuable to others.

What I used was:

some.js 
expect(anObject).to.deep.equal(anotherObject);
