For my Spanish homework, I need the opposite of "cabinet" (you can tell me an answer in English, though).
Don't ask-- it's such a random assignment.
ANY ideas at all would be appreciated...
Thanks!

The only example I can think of is that in the Canadian parliamentary system, the ministers of the government departments and the prime minister form the "Cabinet". The other members of that same political party who do not get a "cabinet" or "ministerial" post form the "caucus", so the opposite of "cabinet" could be "caucus" in that sense. I suppose it could also refer to the elected members of the opposing political party, and in that case it would be "opposition".
When the word "cabinet" is used as a piece of furniture I have no idea what the opposite might be. Definitely an unusual question.

The opposite of 'cabinet'... well, what is a cabinet? A wooden structure with space inside. Then it seems that filled space with no wooden structure would be the opposite. Solid rectangular objects. I figure, four of them to match the (perhaps) 4 shelves in a simple cabinet. You can imagine the empty spaces between where the opposite of the wood is.
But can you say that in Spanish?

pile
out in the open
shelf
desk
(if a cabinet is a container, then a floor would be the oposite?)
