Compartmented glass shelving offers a more finished appearance than other styles of shelving and is often used for displaying merchandise in offices and retail stores. Sometimes known as cube storage units or cubby organizers, these shelving units have cubbies or compartments for separating and organizing items so they can be accessed quickly. Tempered glass panels are joined with connection hardware to create cubbies, and shelving units can be constructed on top of a base that raises them off the floor for a professional look.
