Abstract
A furniture item includes a main body with an electrical device installed thereon. A power line electrically connects the electrical device to an external power source and is concealed in a power line channel formed in one or more of the walls of the main body. A switch may be connected to the main body and electrically connected to the electrical device, for controlling the electrical device. A main body door moveable from a first position to a second position may trigger the switch to enable and disable electrical connection between the external power source and the electrical device.
