I purchased this wall unit at a large discount since it was missing the mounting hardware, when I got it home I realized I had never seen a wall unit like this and was puzzled as to how I'm going to go about actually mounting it. The unit has no markings and I cant find anything with hardware that would fit this piece. I need help on this one, any one recognize this thing? The set came with this drawer piece and two drop down desk units that match, no shelves or other parts.
Second photo shows the bottom of the unit, the two lines running across the bottom are actually grooves that are on all the pieces. Third photo shows the mounting holes (I assume) that are on both sides of the units towards the back end. Any help is appreciated. I will keep looking otherwise.

Ladderax
The components you describe are part of a Ladderax system. I just received one of these Ladderax chests today.
You need a couple of 'ladders' and rails which go in the grooves and rest on the rungs, to mount it. You could also just stick it on top of a sideboard as is.
The holes on the desk units are there for a hook clamp to go around one of the rungs on the ladders and into the holes. Provides extra support. You can buy the hook clamps from this seller on eBay (she doesn't appear to have any listed, so just message her and ask her to relist the hook clamps). http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130626522297
Don't buy the clamps from any other seller (esp Graham Mancha!) as you'll get ripped off.
I have a small obsession with ladderax, I grew up around it at my dad's. It has the benefit of being flexible, highly aesthetic and in the UK, relatively cheap and proliferates more compared to Cado. In fact, I just can't see any reason to get Cado at all when ladderax is around.
As for the value of each component; as I said, it's relatively cheap, which is why I like it. The drawers will fetch up to 50 quid on eBay, the other two units about the same each, maybe less, as the desk units aren't as rare as the drawers.
It's difficult to acquire some ladders on their own. If I were you I'd sell these components individually on eBay, and then just put the money towards buying an existing system with ladders. Seems a bit of a faff but in my experience dealers don't like to help with small orders like that. Maybe someone on here might be able to sell you a few ladders. Don't pay more than 50 quid per ladder, and make sure it's in good nick for that money (been resprayed). Take cheaper for unresprayed ladders.
Yay! thanks for the reply!
Its only been a few hours, but it was driving me crazy. Thank you so much! I think I will go back and try and look for the ladder parts! I just didn't know what to look for so I wasn't looking for that at all haha. The parts might have even been there as the shop I got it from has a scrap yard and they tend to scrap metal stuff that doesn't go with anything.
Side note: I am in the US so I don't know if buying a complete system will be viable for me if i have to get it shipped from the UK. I will give it a try though!
ladderax support rods?
I have a seven bay ladderax unit but am short on the support rods i need for the cabinets and shelves . ebay sellers from the UK seem reluctant to post the rods. I would love to hear from any locals (australia) with rods for sale or anybody who can help.
cheers
Single ladders are often available.
And should you need U bolts, let me know and you can have a couple for the cost of the shipping.
Good luck finding the ladders and bars!
Drawers are the most sought after component (being more scarce than the cabinets) a single wide drawer will easily fetch in excess of £100.
I'm not sure the suggestion to sell the individual components is a good one, even if you were in the UK.
The beauty of these systems is that they are modular, and many people built their sets piece by piece at the time. There is no logic in not doing the same nowadays.
If you have no ladderax...
If you have no ladderax already, it's easier to start off buying a several 'bay' system with all parts, ladders and rods included, and then adding individual units. As the OP doesn't have any other ladderax and doesn't have any ladders or rods, my suggestion to sell the components was precisely because others who already have a system will be looking to buy units. OP can then invest in a full system with all the required ladders and rods, as in my experience it's hard to find metal ladders (the pictured ones, which look the best), on their own without units, and very rare to find rods on their own. That said, the wooden ladders are easier to find, as they look bulky.
However then there's the problem of shipping/flying something 2 metres long across the atlantic. Unfortunately OP I hadn't realised you were in the US. My comments about ladderax proliferating and being relatively cheap apply to the UK only! I understand some were either imported or sold to the US/Australia, but unless I'm wrong I would not think that ladderax was a cost effective system to use due to its rarity in those countries. As Robert says, the beauty of ladderax is about adding to the system, so it works well for us in the UK as there are different components being sold all the time on eBay.
You may find a dealer in your locality who has ladderax; the cost may be far higher than it is for us on eBay. They may be very interested in your components if they are scarce in the US; in which case he may give you a good price for them. If you are interested in ladderax, as I say, think of investing in a multi-bay system as the 'core' to which you can add, and which will include all the ladders and bars you need.
The single drawer units on their own are quite expensive, as Robert says. However the three-drawer chest that you have are less so in the UK; I just purchased a three-drawer chest identical to yours for 55 quid including 1m high ladders off eBay. That said a 3-drawer chest in the smaller size will for for more (bought one for 80, pictured).
On another note entirely, the rarest ladderax components in my experience are the wardrobes and narrow book ladders for bookshelves. The former are nonetheless relatively cheap - I bought two wardrobes, a double and a single for just 90 quid inclusive on eBay. I assume it's because these are not as collectible due to their size? The narrow ladders for books are more svelte than the standard ladders, but possibly produced in a smaller number. I've seen four narrow book ladders with shelves going for several hundred.
I also bought four narrow ladders (below) recently for 180 on eBay, spent another 80 respraying them, and more on transport.
hey guys here are some...

wardrobe face
Agreed. Look at the face of that wardrobe - nothing but two handles and a lock. There is something sublime about such simplicity. [Risking sounding like a total wanker] One often sees a similar beautiful simplicity in natural forms - where the sea meets the horizon, for instance. I cannot praise it more highly than that.
