I am selling a 6 month old Atlas shelving and cabinet system configured as a home office. This system is modular and may be reconfigured as desired.

This system measures 117.5″ in width and includes upper cabinets, several drawers and shelves, work surfaces, all metal standards and accessories for installation. The wood species is white oak.

For those that know, I do not need to explain the beauty and supreme workmanship of Atlas products. You may take a look at their website www.atlaseast.com to price it out. My configuration sells for $13,386 new, and that price is without tax and a several month lead time.

This system is in perfect condition.

  1. Hi JCBstoner,
    good luck on selling your shelving system. I own a beautiful system in Walnut,similar to the one in your living room. If your system for sale was walnut, instead of what looks to be maple, I would consider it. I think you should be able to sell just under $10,000 in this difficult environment, so don’t sell out. I do not frequent these so called “hip” brooklyn websites and am saddened at the self-consciously populist viciousness of the attacks on you. They are obviously people who do most of their shopping at flea markets and have not been out pricing high quality built in cabinets that can run over $1,100 per linear foot. Atlas is the modernist alternative to built ins with regard to quality and the price reflects it. Ironically, you are supporting the local Brooklyn economy when you buy Atlas. You save in the long run because you can take them with you if you move.

  3. “I have not been had.”

    Yes you have, although I do agree the walnut shelves you have in the other room look good. They’re not ugly. But there’s no way any of these are worth $13K. Sorry.

    To counter all the amazingly negative posts so far, my wife and I were really intrigued by this adjustable shelving system last fall when we were trying to figure out a shelving system for one of our walls in our renovation. Key here being it is *adjustable*. Obviously if you don’t want that type of system, you probably won’t like this look.

    We went to see Atlas in person and one of the guys there (really friendly, not pushy at all, just proud of his product) showed us around, showed us the quality of their material and workmanship, and i have to say though I was super skeptical once we went I admit I thought the shelving looked beautiful (to me, admit all a matter of taste). I had been shown on line photos and I think it feels better to see it live.

    This all stated, this is an extremely expensive system and that is why we ended up taking a pass. It also didn’t perfectly work with our new rooms where we didn’t need to go with an adjustable system.

    But it is definitely elegant compared to other alternatives like vitsoe. If you want an adjustable shelving system, the choices are few in terms of the top quality makes. And this one, in wood, is really pretty than most of the alternatives.

  5. Agree with poster Brooklyn 11218. Your pricing is too high. Start at 50% from retail on new merch. I doubt you’d get such negative comments on the style if your price was more realistic.

  6. Well, I am saying these things are UGLY…for the price. At $1000 I can put with no detail, blah looks and a student-dorm aestethic. At 30x that price, NO.

    This post gets a Ridiculous Offering Of the Day (ROTD) award (previously given to the woman offering 24 sq ft of tile fo $800.) Call in for your tiara.

  8. I don’t think (most) people are necessarily saying the shelves are ugly, they are just saying they wouldn’t pay for them. I.e. you probably spent $30,000+ on shelving in your apartment to have it 100% what you wanted, whereas most people would have spent a total of $2,000-3,000 and gotten something 90% as nice. Someone wanting a luxurious sports car can either buy a $100k Porsche 911 or a $1.6 million Bugatti. You bought the Bugatti and most people who have the money to get either one still wouldn’t bother with the Bugatti cause that last 10% of luxuriousness just isn’t worth 10x the $$$. Unless of course that’s their thing and they are really into sports cars… as I guess you are realllllly into shelves.
