If what you're trying to say is that there are not tables at all, you could say mesas in the first one.
And you could change: una, in the second, to: ninguna.

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question

- Español (México)
The first one is correct. The second is not completely wrong but no one uses that structure, at least not while talking. Also if you want to sound more natural don’t use the word “alcoba”, it’s more common to use “cuarto”, which is a synonym. “Alcoba” is somehow more fancy and is used more in the writing than in the speaking.

@teresahneria ¡Gracias por su respuesta!
Yeah, an example in my book shows you could use "mesas" but that means "There are no tables in the bedroom.", ¿verdad?
I wanted to say "There isn't a table in the bedroom." so that's why I used the singular form "mesa". Or, is it more common to say "ninguna" as in "No hay ninguna mesa en la alcoba."?

Ok, thank you for letting me know. I will just avoid using the second one for now. Also, I wanted to say "bedroom" in Spanish and the dictionary says "alcoba"... The dictionary says "cuarto" is "room" but I'm not sure. I trust you more than the dictionary because you're a native speaker, but now I want to know, how do you say "bedroom" in Spanish? Or, people don't say that? They just say "cuarto" instead?

@hirobei Yes, the word “alcoba” refers just to a bedroom and “cuarto” can refer to both “room” or “bethroom”. There’s also the word “recámara” that is just for “bedroom”. With all this we can say that the most common way to say “bedroom” is “cuarto”, then “recámara” which is also very common but less than “cuarto”, and then “alcoba”, that not common at all while talking.

@hirobei In that case i would say: "No hay ninguna mesa en la recámara."

“Habitación” and “cuarto” are both room and bethroom. “Alcoba” and “recámara” are just bedroom.
