Tables and shelves
Hello I was hoping to get this translated.
Does anyone know the latin-america terms for things like a shelf on a kitchen cabinet? THe term for a nightstand? Stool for sitting things on? And, while we're at it, "stand" , as in a 'lemonade stand"? Thank you all for all your good work on here. |

I would use ventorrío de limonada, or maybe tiendacita for lemonade stand. I think banquillo is the best word for stool. I think mesita al lado de la cama works for nightstand. Spanish varies a little from country to country, so wait to see what others say.

En México:
1) Repisa. 2) Mesa de noche o buró. 3) Probably "mesa" or "banco", but I'd need to see an image to know what you mean. 4) Puesto. Edit: Poli beat me to reply, but one more answer won't harm.

A stool in this case is short, usually wooden, chair without a back, like the seats in a bar but shorter. I think banca is a better choice than mesa or piso.
How would you say stepstool. This is a small ladder that can also be used as a chair in some cases.
