A quick search on Google reveals many "mobile stationery cupboards" but I have yet to find one without a fatal flaw.
If, at any point, the cupboard is stationary, sloppy labellers can use the excuse that their incorrect labelling is perfectly correct.

Imagine my surprise on a recent visit to a stationery shop in Mobile, Alabama. |
|
| |
I looked in a corner to see the Mobile stationer's stationary stationary mobile stationery cupboard stationery cupboard. |
|
| |
They've lost their key too. |
