Bookcase and Cabinet Door and Drawer Front Styles:

Raised-panel doors are standard on all bookcases and cabinets except for the Shaker style, which uses Shaker or flat-panel doors. Glass-panel doors are standard on upper doors. However, any door style can be substituted for no additional cost.   The Ogee profile drawer front is standard, but the Cove, Rounded, or Square profiles are available upon request.

Beadboard Back Option

Any bookcase, entertainment unit, or other item can have its plain back panel replaced with beadboard, as shown below.

Crown Moulding Configuration Options

Bookcases and other wall units can be made with flush or mitered sides to fit into a space with walls on each side or to fit together without any gaps. The first row shows items of equal depth with flush moulding configured so that they can be placed next to each other. The second row shows items with a deeper center piece that requires inside miter cuts so that the partial-wrap moulding can go around the corner and back to meet the moulding on the shallow pieces.

Crown Moulding Mini-Miter Option

When you have two items of equal depth, but one is shorter, you can use a mini-miter cut so that the moulding of the shorter piece overlaps the taller piece.

Deluxe Crown and Base Moulding Options

Enhance our Face Frame or Federal Crown styles by adding a 3/4” piece to the top of the crown moulding. The overall height of the piece is increased by 3/4”. We can also wrap the bottom of each piece with deluxe base moulding. The Deluxe Base eliminates the Federal style plinth (Rosette) blocks, but enhances the overall look. To achieve the “Built-In” look, our Deluxe Crown and Base can have flush cuts, inside miters, mini miters, etc.

Please Note: All dimensions in the catalog are “ box” dimensions and do not reflect the thickness of the crown mouldings. For the Deluxe Crown Moulding, add 2” for each side it is applied to. For the Deluxe Base, add 3/4” per side.

This additional 2" for the deluxe crown is NOT in addition to any other crown moulding. So, for instance, a Face Frame Crown unit has moulding that extends 1.5" to each side, but if you also add the deluxe crown, it will extend an additional 1/2" to each side and 3/4" to the height.

Mounting Strip Option

Any piece can have a strip of wood attached to the top inside. This provides a thick piece to drill through into a wall stud for permanent installation of built-ins. If you don't want to see screws from the front, an alternative is to attach an "eye" hook to the back and to a wall stud and connect them using picture hanging wire.

Bookcase Drawer Bottom with Center and Corner Supports:

All drawers are constructed of 1/2” Baltic Birch drawer boxes and equipped with full extension ball bearing slides. The 1/4” drawer bottoms are inset, have a hot glue line around the perimeter for added rigidity and also come with center/corner supports.

Other Bookcase Options:

Convert to Screw-on Back

Normally, pieces have a stapled-on back, but if you plan to remove it to finish it a different color, or for any other reason, we can use screws that are much easier to remove than staples.

Convert to Inset Back

Normally, the 1/4-inch thick back is attached directly to the back, which means that the overall depth is 1/4" deeper than the stated depth. This option means that a 1/4-inch deep notch is cut into the top, sides and bottom so that the back can fit into a slot. Then, the piece will not be any deeper than the stated depth.

Change Base Style

Each style has a particular base style, but we can change the base so that you can mix and match the features of a piece. For instance, a Shaker piece has an open base, but we can change it to have a closed base and still keep the Shaker top. A Face Federal Crown piece has a closed base, but we can change it to have an open base.

Add Cutout for Baseboard

If you plan to place a piece so that it is flush with the wall, but you have base moulding around the room that sticks out, you either need to remove the base moulding from the walls or we can notch the back of a piece so that it fits over the existing moulding. Please let us know how tall and thick your base moulding is so that we can make the notch the right size. This can only be done at the back of a piece, not on the sides.
