"I had used Kitchen Savers before to do countertops and sink and was very happy with them, so I did not really consider anyone else for my current remodel at a new place. Savers Kitchen did a much more extensive remodel this time. Kevin spent much time understanding what I wanted and giving suggestions. He was very knowledgeable, patient, and easy to work with. In fact, the cabinet door sample he had with him was exactly what I chose. This remodel included resurfacing cabinets, raising a cabinet, building a new cabinet, quartz countertops, sink and faucet, installing stove hood, backsplash, and 2 large pantry doors. Dave P. did measuring and everything was exactly right. Dave B. did most of the work and did an excellent job. The cabinets are beautiful and I was very impressed with the work he did on the backsplash. He knew how to do everything. The job took a little over 2 weeks. I was out of a sink for 1 day only. They discovered a crack in the new sink, which they told me and got a new one. They had to wait to install pantry doors and a little finish work until I had the kitchen floor installed, which was done by someone else. They promptly came back and finished up. Savers Kitchen was always responsive and have great people to work with. Thank you Savers Kitchen, I love my new kitchen."

High-quality furniture-grade wood will give you the best performance. Softer woods (like pine) and particle boards like MDF can sag under the weight of heavy books. Ideally, your shelves should hold 20 to 40 pounds per foot, so opt for scratch-resistant hardwood plywood or solid wood. Popular options include mahogany, cherry, maple, oak, walnut, and birch.
Built-ins look best when they feel like part of the room, so many homeowners run them floor to ceiling and stop at a natural break such as a doorway. Corner or floating units are smart options for tight spaces. Prefabricated shelves typically run 24–48 inches wide, 10–12 inches deep, and 5–6 feet tall; use those ranges as a quick sizing guide.
The installation time for built-in bookshelves depends on the complexity of the design, the size of the shelves, and the level of customization. A contractor can install a simple prefabricated unit in a few hours, while an elaborate custom unit could take up to a week. Installing add-ons like lighting could also extend the installation process.
For optimal storage efficiency and aesthetics, built-in bookshelves typically feature a shelf depth of 10 to 12 inches. This depth strikes a balance between providing ample space for books and decor while maintaining a sleek, unobtrusive look in your room.
