Tech/Engineering - Furniture / Household Appliances | | German term or phrase: Ausgleichsregal | this is just a description of elements for the "Endlosbauweise" of a furniture manufacturer and one of the units is a "Ausgleichsregal". To me, it looks just like any other shelving unit, albeit a little bit skinnier, but I have no clue what to call it.
Anyone has an idea?

| | Clarification request(s) and responseChristine Lam: 12:58am Jan 17, 2006: "Ausgleich" probably refers to the fact that this unit is used to balance out the apprearance or the proper fit of the whole furniture design. The emphasis here is on designing a unit (using different modules such as shelving units, cabinets, wardrobes etc.) that fits perfectly in any type of room.

| | (width) compensating shelving unit | Explanation:
or possibly corner filler unit, I think its function may be to "fill out" the remaining bit of wall that the other furniture does not cover, however it will depend on the rest of the text, of course.
The leaflet in the (German) link below describes width compensation shelving of this kind.
