Casegoods

Casegoods are items that are built with interior compartments for storage. 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. 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.
