Wall Units

A wall unit is architecture disguised as furniture: the moment when cabinetry stops being an addition to the room and becomes the room itself. In South Florida's open-plan homes, where walls are precious and storage scarce, a properly designed wall unit transforms dead space into the focal point of daily life. It's where technology meets craftsmanship, where a 75-inch OLED disappears behind book-matched walnut panels, where sound systems integrate without visible wires, and where every object from rare books to collected ceramics finds its deliberate place.
The wall units we build at Metros Wood go beyond the predictable media center. These are room-defining installations that solve multiple problems at once: concealing electronics while displaying art, creating library walls that accommodate oversized televisions, building home offices that close completely when work ends. Each unit is reverse-engineered from your specific needs. The exact dimensions of your equipment, the height of your tallest decanter, the depth of your vinyl collection. We account for heat dissipation, cable management, LED integration, and the inevitable tech upgrades five years from now. The framework is built to furniture-grade standards with proper ventilation channels, removable back panels for access, and adjustable shelving on concealed pins that don't interrupt the design line.
The aesthetic possibilities are endless but never arbitrary. For contemporary interiors, we create floating units in rift-cut oak with touch-latch doors and integrated linear lighting. Monolithic forms that appear to hover despite holding hundreds of pounds. For traditional spaces, we build full-height libraries with classical proportions, raised panel doors, crown molding that ties into existing architecture, and hidden TV lifts that preserve the room's period character. The materials tell their own story: book-matched veneers that we source and sequence ourselves, solid hardwood face frames that will never sag, European hinges that still operate smoothly after 100,000 cycles. Every cut, every joint, every finish is executed in our Palm Beach County workshop, where we control each step from lumber selection to final installation.
What separates our wall units from production built-ins is the intelligence behind them. These aren't boxes hung on brackets. They're structural installations designed with an architect's eye for proportion and an engineer's attention to load distribution. We calculate sight lines from every seat, ensure remote controls work through perforated speaker cloth, position ambient lighting to eliminate screen glare. The result is a wall unit that doesn't just store your life. It organizes it, displays it, and hides it exactly where each element needs to be. When you invest in a Metros Wood wall unit, you're not buying furniture that sits against the wall. You're commissioning functional architecture that defines how the entire room works, ages, and lives.
