It stands over 300 cm high and is mounted using a tension system, allowing it to extend from floor to ceiling. Adjustable brass end caps enable precise height regulation, though the adjustment margin is minimal. We can provide extensions to the hight you need in this case, they can be up to 40cm high.
crafted from warm-hued afromosia wood and fronts in anigre wood, the unit showcases a beautiful wood grain pattern on both the exterior and interior of the cabinets. The use of high-quality solid wood and decorative veneer ensures durability and longevity.
the wall unit consists of two independent segments, connected by a central section with shelves only. These segments can also be used as separate pieces of furniture, offering great flexibility in interior arrangements. The wider left section measures 138 cm in width, while the narrower one on the right measures 94.5 cm.
one of the most impressive features is the bar cabinet, lined with soft material. Its narrow section drops down to reveal ideal storage space for bottles, while the lowered front serves as a convenient bar table, perfect for quick drink service. The shelves can be placed in three positions, adjustable every 5 cm. However, the placement of cabinets and shelves in the central connecting section is fixed.

the set consists of:
3 cabinets:  h: 48 / w: 64 / d: 45 cm (two of which have an internal shelf)
2 drop-front cabinets: h: 43 / w: 64 / d: 35 cm (depth when fully opened: 69 cm)
1 tall bar cabinet: h: 108 / w: 64 / d: 35 cm
1 small chest of drawers: h: 48 / w: 21/ d: 45 cm (internal height of drawers: 9 cm)
7 shelves: w: 64 / d: 26.5 cm
5 shelves: w: 21 / d: 26.5 cm
4 shelves: w: 42 / d: 26.5 cm
6 side panels
4 keys

despite the passage of time, the wall unit is in excellent vintage condition. The wood has been cleaned and protected with professional compounds. Absolutely minimal signs of use are to be expected for such an old piece of furniture. Due to its size, several people are required for assembly. The manufacturer's stickers confirm the authenticity of its origin. It was likely a small italian furniture workshop, which further enhances the uniqueness of the piece.
