hyllypäätteet
Hyllypäätteet, a Finnish term, translates to "shelf ends" or "end caps" in English. These are small, often plastic or metal components designed to be fitted onto the exposed ends of shelves. Their primary function is to provide a finished appearance, concealing the raw edge of the shelf material.
