[david375511]

Closet?

[wintertriangles]

It can be, yes. A closet built into the wall is called a 벽장 but no one is that pedantic.

[Jeong-JinL]

Richer people and interior decorators are. Yes, yes I'm sure.

[YW7k14]

So closet in korean literally means wall wardrobe?

[LinguistSherry]

Is this like a closet or a dresser?

[Jeong-JinL]

Definitely lookup wardrobe on wiktionary to get a better idea. It's an archaic/bougey distinction that can be made against closet but most people today would regard them as synonymous. Wardrobes are theoretically clothing cabinets that aren't part of the floor plan like a closet. My grandparents had one and they are nice in a studio apartment if you can afford to buy one. I just had a wheeled hanger bar apparatus with no enclosure when I was in a studio.
