Book shelf/bookcase assembly & installation

Takes about 30 min

Books are heavier than most people expect, and a loaded bookcase that leans forward is a real hazard. The carpenter assembles the sides and shelves, nails or screws the back panel so the unit cannot rack sideways, and sets the adjustable shelves at the heights you want. The top is then fixed to the wall with the kit's anchor. A wall-hung bookshelf is fixed on brackets into solid wall.

It takes about 30 minutes, from the price shown on this page.

Keep the books packed until the unit is fixed, clear the wall, and note the tallest books you want to fit so the shelf gaps are right.

Questions about this service

Why does the back panel matter?

The thin back panel is what keeps a bookcase square. Without it fixed properly, a loaded unit can lean and collapse sideways.

Can a wall-mounted bookshelf take heavy books?

It can, on solid brick or concrete with the right brackets. The carpenter checks the wall before drilling.

Can the carpenter assemble furniture from any brand?

Yes, as long as the maker's instructions and fittings are in the box.
