Product Description
Do-it-yourself home projects have become a national pastime, and nothing satisfies that urge more then creating built-ins.

The description of this book is misleading. This is not a step-by-step guide to constructing built-ins, it’s just a show-case of things built by master craftsmen. The so-called step-by-step part consists of the super-obvious, such as: 1st choose your design, 2nd choose your materials, 3rd choose your hardware. There is no how-to. Don’t buy this book unless you already know wood-working or you’ll just end up with glossy photos of spectacular built-ins you can’t build yourself.

Taunton has a very good reputation for their publications so I thought this would be a great book to help me with several projects I will be undertaking. It was a disappointment. There was nothing innovative or unique about the ideas presented. The cabinet styles were either very basic or so custom they did not provide realistic options. If you are looking for innovative or creative ideas for a realistic cabinet project … look elsewhere.

This book, by far, exceeded my expectations! It is full of wonderful photos – cover to cover. We are getting ready to build a new home and we will definitely use a few of these creative ideas.
