This is on an invoice from a joinery . All I can find by google search is 'shelf wall' which sounds a bit literal as a translation. Is there anything better?

On another document there is a photo of the item. It is very large sideboard type thing with a recess for a television.

agree Z.E. Ball : didn't see "note added at 15min"....wall unit would work for me and of course your shelving system without the "wall" ;-) ///Fair is fair and you might be right...good luck! :-)

Thanks, Z. I think the client might be a little disappointed if the 'Wand' is ignored...

Shelf unit

Shelf unit is to me a bit more descriptive.
