BookcasesPLUS- Natural Customizable Wood Furniture — Local services in Upper Merion Township

My husband and I could not be more pleased with our new wall unit from Bookcases Plus. We had been looking for more than a year for just the right piece to put in our remodeled living room but had not found the combination of quality, beauty, and value that we wanted. Our new unit was well worth the time it took to find Jon and Bookcases Plus. We went to the shop and spoke to Jon a few times, and were reassured by both the beauty of the pieces in the store, his knowledge of the furniture, and the many options we had to choose from in “customizing” our unit.. What was particularly beneficial was having him come to our home to measure the intended space for the set, as he was able to offer some great suggestions for the width and style of each of the 3 pieces (a tall, central display cabinet flanked on each side by shorter, more narrow bookcases in a “stepped down” style) that otherwise would not have been incorporated. I knew I wanted it painted an off white color, but was unsure which of the many available whites to select. It was Jon who suggested that we consider painting it the same color of the trim in our living room, and the final result is beautiful. If fits and looks just gorgeous, and the bead board “lining” on the inside back of the shelves complements the decor of the room. Jon and an assistant delivered the unit themselves, and set it up with a great deal of care and attention. Thank you, Jon. We will definitely go back to Paoli...

Like others who reviewed Bookases PLUS, we were having trouble finding someone who would make customized pieces using real wood and not MDF. We were happy to find Jon. Jon was excellent and very patient. Our pieces were extremely customized as we were looking to add something like built-ins with specific functions on either side of our fireplace. We actually did the measuring and explained what we were looking for. Jon took our rough design and figured out how to make things work. While it was a fairly lengthy process due to supply chain issues and the customization we required, we ended up with beautiful, functional pieces that will be enjoyed and useful for years to come. We did do the finishing of the unfinished furniture ourselves using a simple clear shellac that brings out the natural color of the wood and protects it. Doing that saved us a lot of money. That is one of the benefits to using Bookcases PLUS....

It is difficult to find inexpensive custom bookcase makers these days. In 1990 there were three of them within a half hour from my home. No more! Furniture makers and cabinet makers will make fancy display shelves for knick knacks, but try to buy seven basic bookcases and you're out of luck. With help from Google I found Bookcases Plus (100 miles away). I contacted the owner by email and gave him the exact dimensions and construction of the bookcases that I needed. He is very friendly and accommodating. His prices are excellent and for a very small additional charge he delivered the product right to the appropriate room in my house. I have never seen such beautiful pine -- clear, straight, knot free, I don't know where he gets his wood, surely not at the local lumber supply place! The bookcases fit perfectly into their measured locations. Thanks, Jon, you solved a difficult...
