What is claimed is: 1. A furniture system comprising: a first cabinet; a second cabinet; and a base for supporting a provided object between the first cabinet and the second cabinet; wherein one or both of the first cabinet and the second cabinet defines a space for which, in a first configuration of the system, the base resides outside of the space, and in a second configuration of the system, the base resides at least partially within the space; wherein the base includes: a support structure for supporting the provided object between the first cabinet and the second cabinet, the support structure having a first end and a second end; a first module including a plurality of shelves and removably coupled to the first end; and a second module including a plurality of shelves and removably coupled to the second end; wherein the first cabinet includes a first member with a first aperture adjacent to a first portion of the space and the second cabinet includes a second member with a second aperture adjacent to a second portion of the space; and wherein the first aperture and the second aperture each have a predefined cross-sectional shape to respectively receive portions of the first end and the second end of the support structure after the first and second modules are removed from the base. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein the first cabinet and the second cabinet both define the space. 3. The system of claim 1, wherein the base comprises a console. 4. The system of claim 1, wherein the provided object comprises an audio visual system component. 5. The system of claim 1, wherein the provided object comprises a home theater display. 6. The system of claim 1, wherein the first configuration of the system has the first module coupled to the first end of the support structure and the second module coupled to the second end of the support structure and the second configuration of the system has the first module detached from the first end of the support structure or the second module detached from the second end of the support structure or both the first module detached from the first end of the support structure and the second module detached from the second end of the support structure. 7. The system of claim 1, wherein the space is within portions of one or both of the first cabinet and the second cabinet. 8. The system of claim 1, wherein the predefined cross-sectional shape comprises two or more intersecting linear segments. 9. The system of claim 8, wherein the two or more intersecting linear segments intersect orthogonally. 10. The system of claim 1, wherein the plurality of shelves of the first module are accessible through a first door movably coupled to the support structure, the first door including a removable panel. 11. The system of claim 10, wherein the first cabinet includes a plurality of shelves accessible through a door movably coupled to the first cabinet and which when opened exposes the plurality of shelves in the first cabinet and a first portion of the space. 12. The system of claim 11, wherein in the second configuration of the system, the first module is detached and the plurality of shelves accessible through the door movably coupled to the first cabinet may be accessed by opening the door movably coupled to the first cabinet and traversing an opening formed by the removal of the panel in the first door. 13. The system of claim 12, wherein the plurality of shelves of the second module are accessible through a second door movably coupled to the support structure, the second door including a removable panel. 14. The system of claim 13, wherein the second cabinet includes a plurality of shelves accessible through a door movably coupled to the second cabinet and which when opened exposes the plurality of shelves in the second cabinet and a second portion of the space. 15. The system of claim 14, wherein in the second configuration of the system, the second module is detached and the plurality of shelves accessible through the door movably coupled to the second cabinet may be accessed by opening the door movably coupled to the second cabinet and traversing an opening formed by the removal of the panel in the second door. 16. The system of claim 14, wherein one or more of the plurality of shelves in the second cabinet includes a portion that must be removed before moving the system into the second configuration. 17. The system of claim 11, wherein one or more of the plurality of shelves in the first cabinet includes a portion that must be removed before moving the system into the second configuration. 18. The system of claim 1, further including an adjustable light bridge coupled between the first cabinet and the second cabinet. 19. The system of claim 1, further including an adjustable shelf coupled between the first cabinet and the second cabinet.
