shelving units

Stacked horizontal surfaces

Shelving units are freestanding or wall-mounted furniture pieces with horizontal surfaces for storage and display.

They range from simple metal racks in garages to elaborate wooden bookcases in living rooms.

The term emphasizes modularity—shelving units can often be stacked, expanded, or reconfigured: We need another shelving unit for the garage.
