Under the roof
Under the roof
Everything here is measured against a wall, a doorway or a stud, and lives where the floor is level and the light is yours to choose.
Shelving & Bookcases
Open bookcases, corner and arched units, cube walls. Height and tier count decide these before the finish does.
Cabinets, Pantries & Islands
Pantry cabinets, sideboards and kitchen islands: the storage that has doors on it and a top you can work on.
Bathroom Storage
Over-the-toilet units, mirrored medicine cabinets and floor cabinets built for the narrow wall nobody measures.
Sofas & Living Room
Sectional couches, boneless couches, lift-top coffee tables and the stands they sit across from.
Desks & Chairs
Standing desks that crank up and down, and the chairs people spend eight hours in without thinking about them.
Dining, Beds & Pets
Dining sets with a bench, a bunk bed with a trundle, crates and litter enclosures that look like furniture.
Anything here that stands on the floor with drawers, doors or shelves belongs anchored to the wall. The consumer safety commission launched its anchoring campaign in 2015 and reported ten years later that tip-over injuries and deaths had fallen by nearly half; the instruction behind that number is the one sentence above. An anchoring kit ships in the carton, the job takes about ten minutes with a drill and a stud finder, and it is the last step of the build rather than an optional extra. The guidance behind that, and the day we read it, is on our updates page.
