A table is a large, flat piece of furniture with long legs. You usually sit around a table on chairs and eat dinner. Small tables are often put near sofas so people can put their coffee cups on them. Most tables are made out of wood, with either wood or metal legs. Tables can be round or square.

A trunk, also called a chest, blanket box or toy box depending on what it is used for, is a large box usually made out of wood that is used for storing things in. The most famous version of the trunk is the treasure chest, infamously used by pirates to bury their treasure in. The reason a car trunk has the name it does is because early cars used to have an actual trunk on the back, which gradually evolved to the trunk we know today.
