Home Office Bookcase

You know the old saying, "There's more to this than meets the eye", and that is true of this bookcase. My client wanted a floor-to-ceiling bookcase to take maximum advantage of the vertical space, because the room is small. However, the hallway leading to this room is quite narrow, so there was not enough room to make a single piece and get it into the room. The challenge was to make two smaller pieces that appear to be one unit. I did this by attaching the face frame stiles and outer "show" side panels after the two units were stacked and attached to each other and to the wall. The top of the bottom unit hides behind the bottom face frame rail of the top unit. Voila! One floor-to-ceiling bookcase, as promised.
