Is this acceptable?

There is a bed, two chairs and a table in the bedroom.

Against these:

  1. In the bedroom is a bed, two chairs and a table.

  2. In the bedroom are two chairs, a bed and a table.

  • You should explain what the problem is, simply asking if a sentence is acceptable or not could be interpreted as a request for proofreading, which is off-topic on this site. – Mari-Lou A Nov 27 '18 at 10:28
  • I don't know how to explain the problem other than using an example. – seems Nov 27 '18 at 10:47

The proper sentence is in the title while examples 1 & 2 are at least missing 'there'. https://www.grammarly.com/blog/there-is-there-are/

Their word order (as well as omitting 'there') is less natural, but possible for speech with some contextual emphasis or for poetry:

In the bedroom
Are two chairs,
A bed and a table.
Poor maiden
Died upstairs -
That's the end of the fable.
