Custom Built-Ins & Bookshelves
Ridgefield · Wilton · New Canaan & surrounding Connecticut
Custom bookshelves and built-in cabinetry are the heart of what we do — library walls, shelving, bedroom cabinetry, under-stair storage and other fitted built-ins. Rather than fitting a room around stock furniture, we design cabinetry for the wall, the ceiling height, the trim profiles and the way you actually use the space.
Every project runs from the first conversation through the finished installation with Carl Glissmann directly involved — the same person who takes your idea, draws it, prices it and builds it.

What's included
What we design and build
Bookshelves
Open and adjustable shelving, single walls or full room surrounds, scaled to your ceiling and trim.
Entertainment & storage built-ins
Media walls, window seats and family-room storage that conceals what you'd rather not see.
Cabinets, drawers & doors
Cabinetry built to your dimensions, with the drawer, door and compartment layout your storage actually calls for.
Shelving & storage compartments
Interior layouts planned around what's going in them, from books and files to games and equipment.
Wall-to-wall installations
Full-wall cabinetry scribed and fitted to existing walls, floors and ceilings — including older homes that aren't square.
Home office & library cabinetry
Desks, file storage, upper cabinetry and library walls designed as one continuous piece of joinery.
Specific materials, construction methods and hardware are determined during design, based on your project and your home.
