## Abstract

A frame system (3) according to the present disclosure includes a plurality of back frames (4) and a plurality of base frames (5). The plurality of back frames (4) is arranged side by side, and can respectively holds back surfaces of display units (2). The plurality of base frames (5) couples the back frames (4), which are adjacent to each other, in a direction parallel to a floor (F). In addition, each of the back frames (4) and a pair of the base frames (5) coupled to the back frame (4) include an angle adjustment unit (20) that adjusts an angle between the pair of base frames (5).
