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.

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".

The problem, as I see it, it that one can be understood.
