What is a piece of furniture with shelves called?
1 Answer
What a piece of furniture with shelves is called depends on its overall design. An item with rows of shelves that has an open back is an étagère, while a similar piece with a closed back is a bookcase. In some cases, a large étagère may be referred to as a shelving unit. A cabinet is a piece of furniture that has shelves hidden behind doors. If a furnishing has drawers and cabinets on the bottom and open shelving on the top, it is a hutch. On 1stDibs, explore a diverse assortment of storage furniture and case pieces.
