Countertop on both sides of a sink, perhaps. Wooden furniture to contain dishes or clothing. 'closet, kitchen' is a Chinese euphemism for back door entry into night soil, with old Chinese「closets」being huge pieces of movable furniture (and not small rooms) having two doors in the front forming the glyph「flesh seam, skill, trading one thing for another」(工) enclosing hidden darkness inside.
　Salix multinervis is a species of GREY WILLOW, and the 'willow world' is another euphemism for a service provider's life in a bordello, or back in the old days of dynastic China, the shaman's sex slaves working her cave o' wonders…the old GREY WILLOW workers had SPACE FOR HUGE WOODIES as the result of decades of overuse and much abuse.

Chinese: cupboard; cabinet; wardrobe; Salix multinervis; variant of 櫃|柜
Unihan extended: cabinet, cupboard; shop counter

Always keep in mind that these glyphs were originally created by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles and analogies for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that) and represented Chinese society many thousands of years ago, and not as a written or spoken language. If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system. Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is! Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? And now, there is a cover-up. No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else. This site describes glyph meanings, not people. These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect. The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language? (More...) Despite how bad the human world is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or they could only have been worse?

By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs, you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any dictionary. This site explains the dual meanings of glyphs most often ignored by other sources that provide you with only the sanctioned definition, generally.
