of all heights Explanation: "A rectangular piece of furniture of all heights made up of...)" There's no way of knowing from the context if this is just announcing a type of model with different heights (i.e. dimensions), or if it's adjustable, although I think if it were, it would definitely say so!

2 hrs confidence:
| mueble rectangular a toda altura a wall unit Explanation: mueble retangular a toda altura = (entertainment) wall unit Since this is probably what the text is about, this might be a good option. wall unit = a piece of furniture (often almost) the height of of wall with compartments of various sizes (including one, perhaps, for a television) Here's a photo: http://www.amazon.com/Mission-Piece-Entertainment-Wall-Unit/... I hope this helps! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2010-04-19 05:05:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- oops: that's "...(almost always) the height of a wall..." :-) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 hrs (2010-04-19 23:43:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Here are some photos of wall units.
