New: STIBY System

By Sylvia on May 23, 2008 ~ 2 Comments

The STIBY System is a new storage combination with drawers, shelves and sliding doors. It also allows you to integrate a flat screen that can be hidden with the sliding doors.

I think it’s a very nice combination that gives you a modern solution for your tv and media equipment. You can choose between ash veneer and black.
