Materials
Materials and methods for Home Office Cabinetry
Home office builds get the same box construction as our kitchen work, scaled down for desk and file storage use. These are the products we reach for most on a Converse office build:
Built-In Desk Panels
We build the desk surface as part of the cabinet run rather than a separate slab, so it holds its shape under monitor and equipment weight for years.
File Drawer Inserts
Full-extension drawers sized for letter and legal folders keep paperwork organized instead of stacked on the desk.
Cable Grommets
Fitted openings let power and network cables pass through the desk surface cleanly instead of running over the edge.
Adjustable Shelving
Shelf pin systems let you reconfigure storage as your equipment or book collection changes.
Custom Hardware
Handles and pulls are selected to match existing door and trim hardware elsewhere in the house.
Finish Coatings
A sealed finish resists scuffs from rolling chairs and holds up to daily use in Texas humidity better than an unfinished surface.
