A bed with a doorSourced
Box-beds enclose the sleeping space
A box-bed surrounds a sleeping place with a wooden enclosure, sometimes closed by a door or curtain. Such beds appeared in western Europe from the late Middle Ages. The cupboard-like furniture housed a sleeper rather than stored belongings.
The cabinet shape could contain a bed.
