I have a teak cabinet I would describe as a CADO style unit, but I ran across a listing the other day with the same exact cabinet that says its a Wegner wall unit. Its the cabinet on the right with the round pulls. So... do you think this is a case of mis-attribution? Or is it really a Wegner? I guess it never struck me as a Wegner design, but then again I'm not a Wegner professional.....

The
handles look like those of some Wegner pieces
I don't recognise the design of the unit though

RY series
Hi there
The unit you have was made and designed for RY møbler as part of a RY100 series variation. ca 1960-61
The RY 100 got it´s name from the 100cm width of each unit.
What makes your system different is it´s ability to be completely flat packed once dismantled.
The second unit Robert is showing is also from RY and is the RY20 model.
It looks very solid but dismantles into top, bottom, and 2 sides with only 8 screws holding the whole thing together.
Wonderful rosewood drawers, Robert
