A wall panel structured to form at least a portion of an interior wall of a vehicle is provided. The wall panel includes a body, a storage compartment formed in the body, and at least one door stopper extending from the body. The door stopper(s) may help support the wall panel in an upright orientation when the wall panel is positioned on a resting surface. Also described is a wall panel assembly including the wall panel and a door rotatably coupled to the wall panel for closing the storage compartment. In the wall panel assembly, the door stopper(s) on the wall panel may prevent over-rotation of the door, when the wall panel is not installed in a vehicle.
