Built-in Living Room Cabinetry and Media Unit
Because of the superb job the NIICO Millwork Group did 1 year ago in renovating our condominium den/home office/guest bedroom (see earlier review) we contacted them this year to replace our old bookcase and media unit with built in cabinetry that would serve as a bookcase, and a media unit while also providing storage space and a surface for the display of photographs and ornaments. After giving the design much thought and preparing our own detailed drawings we met with Vladimir, the NIICO designer who had helped us so superbly last year. He visited our home on two occasions, confirmed our measurements and refined our design. We had been unable to figure out how to accommodate the depth of our stereo components without having our unit project too far from the wall and encroach on the space between the unit and the furniture in front. Vladimir came up with the brilliant solution of taking advantage of some otherwise dead space between the kitchen and the living room and custom building a small additional unit there to house the stereo components and provide some additional storage space (see photo). He then used CAD to produce completely detailed 3 D renderings of the design, helped us choose materials, colors and accessories and designed a system for having the stereo wiring extend invisibly around the perimeter of the room to the speakers on the other side.
We then approved what we felt was a very reasonable quotation and payment schedule.
The unit was delivered in a timely manner and Ryan, the installer who had worked with us the year before and whom we had requested again, meticulously assembled and installed all the components over a three day span. As was the case last year, the end result was one that truly delighted my wife and myself, with both of us demanding perfectionists. We think the accompanying before and after photos show why we are so pleased.
Having worked with them on two separate occasions, needless to say, we highly recommend the NIICO Millwork Group!
