Which drawer units have locks for securing documents?

The Billy drawer unit (oak and black oak), Boomerang drawer unit (oak and dark brown mahogany), and Oscar drawer unit (black varnished teak) all include keylocks. The Billy with 3 lockable drawers provides the most secure storage capacity. The Boomerang with 1 lockable drawer works for a small volume of sensitive items.

What is the difference between a cupboard and a display cabinet?

Cupboards like the PI, Shadow, Ligna, and Stairs have solid wood doors that conceal contents completely. Display cabinets and curio cases from Mercana (Blake, Iggy, Sloan, Wyatt) and Ethnicraft (Wave, Sono) have glass doors or open fronts for showcasing items. Choose cupboards for general storage you want hidden, and display cabinets for curated collections you want visible.

Can these storage pieces be used in living rooms or just offices?

All pieces work in both settings. The Ethnicraft PI cupboard and Ligna cupboard double as living room storage for linens, games, and media. The Mercana curio cabinets display decorative objects in living rooms. The Flotte Oak Double Bookcase from Four Hands serves as a statement piece in living rooms or dining rooms. Only the lockable drawer units (Billy, Boomerang, Oscar) are specifically designed for office desk integration.
