adjustables
Things you modify
Items that can be modified or changed in setting, size, or position.
The term appears most often in finance, where adjustables (short for adjustable-rate mortgages) have interest rates that fluctuate with market conditions: Adjustables looked attractive when rates were low.
In retail, adjustables may refer to shelving or furniture with movable components.
