Abstract
A bookshelf unit has a pair of parallel sides spaced from each other, a distance greater than the length of a heating system radiator. The sides have a width greater than the width of the radiator. A plurality of book shelves extend between, and are supported by, the sides in spaced parallel relation. A cover panel removably mounted in the bookshelf unit covers the area between the sides and the lowermost bookshelf and thereby covers the radiator and permits a free flow of air while obstructing a view of the radiator.
