secret compartment
Hidden stash space
A secret compartment is a hidden space built into furniture, vehicles, walls, or other structures, designed to conceal valuables or contraband.
The compartment's existence isn't apparent to casual observation: The desk had a secret compartment behind a false drawer.
Secret compartments appear in spy fiction and are practically used by smugglers, collectors, and anyone wanting to hide something from discovery.
