BRIC-A-BRAC HOLDERS are pieces of furniture used to store and display small decorative items. WHATNOTS (8 letters) are a type of open shelving unit with multiple tiers, often used to store knick-knacks and other small items. ETAGERES (8 letters) are similar to whatnots, but they usually have closed shelves and are more ornate in design. Both types of BRIC-A-BRAC HOLDERS are popular for displaying collections of figurines, trinkets, and other decorative items.
