what are they in Taiwan?
English translation:night table and headboard
Explanation:
They are two different items of bedroom furniture. Night table is the free-standing table usually placed at the head end of the bed.
As to the second term 畒, it does not seem to be an established name. and could be the stand on which the bed or mattress is set. Here, headboard is just a guess, because headboard and night table seem to belong to the same group. That is the board set upright at the head end of the bed. Sometimese it provides storage space or a top on which articles can stand.
