I was watching the latest episode of "New Girl" and totally liking the shelves at Cece's apartment, and wondering if anybody here might know where they are from or what they are called (or perhaps they only exist in TV-land?). Here's a screenshot:

That looks very like Dexion Speedframe.

We used to make our own shelving and work benches with it when I used to work for a living. It's a black, one inch square, square cross-section, metal tubing, easily cut to length with a hacksaw*, and there's a range of fittings for joining the pieces and capping open ends and for feet and so on - you just tap them into place with a soft-faced mallet.

With reasonably attractive material for the shelving, it probably looks okay in a domestic setting as long the decor isn't too traditional.

*In fact, I vaguely remember we had a special tool of some sort to make sure we made the cuts really neat and square, but I can't bring it mind at the moment.

alaudacorax, I don't know why I didn't post here sooner to thank you for your quick and very helpful responsible to my query. Sorry about that. And thank you.

Today I returned here because I saw another set of shelves on a TV commercial that I liked but hadn't seen before, and wondered if they were identifiable too. They were on a Samsung commercial.
