A freestanding corner furniture unit includes a pair of side support panels extending vertically from a floor, the side supports disposed mutually orthogonally, each side support extending perpendicularly from an adjacent wall that defines a corner of a room. A plurality of shelves are disposed in a vertically stacked, spaced apart array spanning the side supports. The shelves all include a pair of laterally opposed edges disposed in orthogonal relationship and each adapted to impinge on a respective side support, whereby each shelf is secured to the side supports. All shelves include a pair of rear edges disposed in orthogonal relationship and disposed to impinge on respective adjacent wall surfaces that converge to define the corner area. The lowermost shelf projects outwardly from the corner, and is spaced from the supporting floor to define a desk surface. The shelves above the lowermost shelf are provided with dogleg configurations that decrease in plan area with increasing height, whereby the assembly presents the appearance of tapering upwardly to provide spaciousness and openness. A plurality of interior supports are disposed in paired relationship to support the medial portions of the shelves from the floor surface. In addition, the assembly may provide a reinforcing ring joined to the lower surface of the lowermost shelf and extending adjacent to the periphery thereof. All shelves include a truncation edge extending between the rear edges of each shelf to define with the adjacent wall surfaces a triangular opening. The triangular opening of all the shelves are vertically aligned to provide a cableway and a virtual flue for the convection of hot air.
