A papercraft display unit including two sidewalls, each having a rear edge and a front edge, a back wall arranged between the two sidewalls at the respective rear edges, and at least one shelf arranged transversally to the walls and associated therewith so as to be locked in position. Each of the sidewalls includes at least at the front edge, three layers of a paper or paper-like material in succession, and, precisely, a first layer or outer layer, a second layer or intermediate layer, and a third layer or inner layer. Furthermore, the intermediate layer of each of the two sidewalls has at least one intermediate slot, the inner layer of each of the two sidewalls has at least one shaped portion in correspondence of the at least one intermediate slot of the intermediate layer, and the at least one shelf has a front edge including two protruding side fins.

Composed element including at least two panel-shaped elements, which each have an edge zone in which coupling means are present in the form of a profiled part respectively extending in the longitudinal direction of the respective edge zone, as well as each including an end face extending transversely to the respective edge zone, wherein said profiled parts allow coupling the panel-shaped elements together in an interlocking manner, wherein at least one of the panel-shaped elements includes an arrangement which hides from view at least a portion of the profiled part formed at the pertaining edge zone at the location of the end face.

A set of panels includes a first panel having a first main plane and a second panel having a second main plane. The panels are provided with a mechanical locking device for locking a first edge of the first panel to a second edge of the second panel. The mechanical locking device includes an edge groove at the first edge, wherein an edge tongue of the second edge is insertable into the edge groove. A flexible tongue is arranged in an insertion groove provided in the edge section groove, and cooperates with a tongue groove provided at the edge section of the second panel.
