Freestanding bookcases and shelving units rarely sit flush against a wall or match existing trim. Boerne Custom Cabinets builds shelving and wall units to the actual dimensions of your room, so the finished piece looks like it was part of the house from day one rather than furniture pushed into a corner.

This work is common in both older Boerne homes with built-in alcoves original to the house and newer Hill Country construction where a living room or office wall is still bare. Either way, the unit gets measured, built, and trimmed to match what's already there.
