Casegoods

Casegoods are items that are built with interior compartments for storage. ^[1] They are one of the three classifications of furniture: upholstery, occasional, and casegoods. Upholstery refers to furniture that has fabric or leather and padding stretched over a frame. Accent tables, or occasional tables, include coffee tables, end tables, blenders, nesting tables, ottomans, and accent stools. ^[2] Casegoods generally refers to furniture made of hard materials, such as wood, metal, glass or plastic. Examples of casegoods include chests, dressers, bookshelves, and cabinets.
