Vinyl Temple Album Storage - Large

Pete and Steve at shelf.me are awesome. They worked with me to create exactly what we needed in our listening room / living room for our vinyl stereo system and storage for our large (and growing) vinyl collection. The tools they’ve created to design custom furniture are...

Shoe Rack

I had the germ of an idea. I texted it to Pete at 10:18am. We FaceTimed for fifteen mins. He made it much better. Order placed at 12:25pm. Delivery at 4:40pm. Installation completed 5:00pm. I'm now working on the next idea that I will text to Pete tomorrow... :-)

Love how the shelves came out! Pete is super friendly and makes getting custom shelves so easy and fast(!). I just wanted something simple but was having a hard time finding anything that would work above my staircase, this is perfect and makes my space feel organized

We came to Shelf.me looking for a custom bookcase wall for a space that always felt unfinished and hollow. Peter and Steve delivered something that looks completely built-in — the kind of craftsmanship you’d expect from a custom cabinetry shop, but without the months-long wait....

I had a great time working with Shelf.me to design a book shelf for my small space. It was my first time purchasing custom storage and I didn’t realize how satisfying it would be to check off form, fit, and function all in one piece. The turnaround was quick and the price was...

I needed to create a set of shelves in my son‘s closet. It was a very tight area and required very precise measurements. Using shelf.me’s tool was easy and working with Pete was awesome. I can’t wait to start on our next project in the laundry room!

Compact Shelf with Drawer

Shelf.me was a perfect solution for an awkward space I had in a guest bathroom. I couldn't find anything pre-made that would fit well and the options that kinda fit were cheap pressboard crap. I am not a wood worker so building something like this myself was not really an...

We’re downsizing and our shelf unit completely transformed our small apartment space into a stylish, organized home. The guys were great to work with— responsive, helpful, and very talented. Can’t wait to tackle the garage next :) Thanks ShelfMe!

The 'L' Corner Shelves

Pete took my crazy idea for rounded corner shelves and created a great piece.
It fits perfectly in an unused corner and houses tons of books!

I was looking for storage for our family's golf clubs. Shelf Me helped me design something that fit our basement space perfectly, and that was exactly right for our clubs. The finish is excellent and the shelves are sturdy.

Shoe Rack

My son designed this custom shoe rack for me, adding a hole over the heating vent in the floor so that the warm air flows up and over all the shoes. The craftsmanship is excellent, and the rack is sturdy enough to sit or stand on. And I have warm, cosy, shoes all winter long!

Vanja End Table

A very cute night table for my daughter. I customized this piece with the oversized round legs, a nice pull for the drawer, and painted the drawer front in pastel purple. She loves it!

Heavy Duty Printer Table

This turned out as a nice and practical addition for my office. It keeps my workspace tidy. There are a couple of different drawer sizes for papers and a wide open shelf for the unfinished projects or prints I don’t want to throw away just yet.

Sometimes you end up with an awkward space that is heavily used, but not quite right for any off the shelf solution. Working with shelf.me to customize this hygienist desk for a dental office was a fruitful collaboration, with a practical and attractive design. Integrated curves...

About Us

College roommates, still hustling

We (Pete & Steve) met first day of freshman year many years ago, and lived together off and on throughout college. Both of us went on to build software companies, Steve building web companies, and Pete building data storage companies.

During COVID, Pete decided to shelve a room floor to ceiling and spent a month grappling with CAD, track saws, and pocket holes, wondering if there was a better, faster way. After he'd been working on Shelf Me for a year or so he got Steve involved, and they've been working on building Shelf Me ever since.

We've bundled a ton of love into Shelf Me, and we hope that you can build beautiful things with it, and that you love your Shelf Me shelves as much as we love building them.
