built-in shelf
Wall-embedded storage surface
A built-in shelf is a shelf constructed as part of a wall or structure rather than added as freestanding furniture.
Built-ins are permanent fixtures, often recessed into walls or flanking fireplaces: The living room has built-in shelves on either side of the window.
They maximize space and give rooms an architectural finish.
