na verdade, não é um baú. Trata-se de um beliche com um armário atrás da cabeceira. Esse armario tem duas gavetas e uma porta com prateleira. Aqui, as pessoas costumam chamar isso de baú.

Bunk with chest


Explanation:
Poderia ser, também, "A bunk with closet" ou "A bunk with a cabinet", mas nunca a "with a trunk". Não casa com o contexto.

Especificamente, beliche é "twin bunk"

correção: "bunk bed"; "twin bunk bed". Pressa, inimiga da perfeição. Sorry.
