Most comparisons between custom cabinetry and flat-pack furniture skip the one problem that matters most in New York: your apartment probably doesn’t have a single truly built-in office cabinet in Brooklyn with a right wall, level floor, or standard-width alcove.

Custom Library Bookcases NYC: How to Design a Home Library That Actually Works
