What is cover bar?

A cover bar is a metallic or plastic piece used to cover an exposed bar in furniture such as cabinets, bookshelves, and other units that are assembled with visible metal bars. The cover bar serves to improve the appearance of the furniture by keeping the metal bars that are used to assemble the furniture well-concealed while enhancing the overall aesthetic. Cover bars can be found in various colors, sizes, and designs and are most commonly used in home and office furniture, particularly in industrial-style designs. They are also used in the design of shop fitting displays, exhibition stands, and retail shelving units.
