The OP hasn't made it clear if this is 'fabric', like a stud wall, or
'furniture', like a freestanding wardrobe. Fabric would be part of the
fixed wiring installation, whereas it wouldn't be a good idea to hardwire an
item that could be moved around because moving it around could affect the
rest of the circuit (breaking the ring or loose connections).
I am assuming this is a continuation from the thread on "Building
cupboards and shelves" - i.e. a "built in" style set of cupboard and
shelves.

Yes all part of the study refit project Fortunately, the cables in the original sockets were long enough to stretch into the cupboard so decided to cut out the side of the unit (18mm ply) and fit a plasterboard back box. The printers can then plug directly into one of the sockets and the extension lead for the desk to the other one.
