wall units
Modular furniture systems
Wall units are large pieces of furniture designed to stand against or mount to a wall, typically combining shelving, cabinets, and display space in a single integrated structure.
Popular in mid-to-late 20th century home décor, they often housed entertainment equipment, books, and decorative objects: The living room's wall unit held the TV, stereo, and family photos.
The term usually implies modular or built-in appearance rather than freestanding bookcases.
