navitasan: The sentences are grammatically equivalent - the only difference is "where" substituted for "the place". The sentences are OK, but the word order is not what I consider natural to a native speaker. " The place where we put the lamp was on the dresser.

The sentences are OK, but the word order is not what I consider natural to a native speaker. I would say: "The place to put the lamp was on the dresser." The place where we put the lamp was on the dresser.
