Built-Ins for Home Office

We are looking to create a home office with built-in desks, cabinets, and shelves. Does anyone have any recommendations for doing this? We have looked at California Closets, which seem competent, but pricey. Thanks for any suggestions!

You should look into hub-woodworks.com
his work is beautiful and very well priced.
You can see the desk/builtins he did for us there.
cheers!

Check out Infinite Storage Solutions http://www.issdesigns.com/

They aren't technically built in, but they have tons of options for different configurations. I have the pole mounted cabinets which I love and get lots of comments from people about how good they look and how much storage I have without it being overwhelming.

They are based in CA somewhere and primarily do commercial, but they will deliver to a residential address. You just have to be willing and able to put it all together (which isn't hard, just make sure you've measured and marked everything). Price-wise, they were the most reasonably priced product I found for what I got. Custom was way too expensive, but I didn't compare to California Closets.

this is another modular system that is rather elegant.

I did it myself from scratch. I'll get around to posting them one day to the reno blog.

Also IKEA has a lot of options that won't break the bank. Look in the kitchen cabinets and repurpose them for an office. The kitchens at IKEA are made better than any of their furniture.

Try Jerry Middleton. His workshop is in Williamsburg. His website is www.woodessentials.com It's devoted to his medicine cabinet business, but he also does beautiful custom work locally.

The best closet company out there, I get my dream closet for under $2000. Many quoted over $3000 for the same job and they have better quality finish than many companies out there, They do custom home office and customer service is excellent.
