I think people from NYC are legal aliens(many aren't even that). To prove my point
we have night tables not night stands and, what's more, we wait on line not in line.:eek:
but online is what I am right now as I'm typing this;)

[poli]

Yes, that's true, but we're so advanced that we were on line way before
internet:lol:.... and after internet's overwith, we'll still be on line.:impatient:

Yes, I've experienced a few good civilized London queue . Lovely.

El mueble que describes para guardar la vajilla y la cubertería aquí se llama aparador o chinero.

Aquí se llama vitrina o gabinete... o el mueble del comedor. :D

[Satyr]

digo "night stand". Soy de Texas y a mi me parece un poco extraño decir "bedside table" pero entiendo la palabra.

Interesante. Acá a los platos se les llama "china", y creo que es vajilla en general...

I'm agree with you.:)

Vagilla is more correct.

Te aconsejo que lo busques en el diccionario.

Quizás sea algo de la zona de Galicia/Cantábrico y normalmente estaba en la cocina en las casas antiguas. Claro que en las casas antiguas, la cocina también era donde se comía.

I think we call it a china cabinet. It it where you store fine dishes for special occasions like when royalty or inlaws come to visit.

That would be "aparador". The "chinero" was less well built. Couldn't really be called a cabinet as the finish was too "rustic" even though the wood might have been good quality, i.e. chestnut, oak. Pity I haven't got a picture of my great-grandma's "chinero" to show you.

Oh! Then I think the word for it in English is cupboad which can be made of oak or pine and sometimes painted with enamel. They are often rustic, but sometimes the word can be substituted with the finer china
cabinet or china closet.

The photo you attached is a lot like a piece of furniture my mother had. We called it a "hutch cupboard". :)
