What is the difference between a hutch and an overhead storage unit?

A hutch is a freestanding storage unit that sits on a desk surface and may include a combination of open shelves, closed cabinets, and lighting. An overhead storage unit (OSU) in the context of panel systems is a wall-mounted or panel-hung enclosed bin — it does not sit on the desk surface. Both provide above-desktop storage but are attached differently. OfficeFurniture2go.com carries both desk hutches and OSUs — call 1-800-460-0858.
