We had an amazing experience with Shelf-Life. Jason was very helpful and helped us work out the best use of the space we had. Jason and Liam really went above and beyond to get the job done, including doing the installation when we were away. We came back to the shelves installed perfectly! They are a wonderful, and a real feature of our hallway. Would absolutely recommend, couldn't have had a better experience.

Jason and Liam were a pleasure to deal with. They worked with me to understand my vision for creating bookshelves that exactly matched the period and aesthetic of my 60's apartment. They are professional, personable and do great work, and I highly recommend them.

My experience with Jason and Liam was a pleasure from beginning to end.Jason took the time to gain a sense of the feel that I was aiming for, and then designed a bookcase that was perfect for the proportions and style of the room. He inspires trust and reassurance through his warmth, dignity and attention to detail, and was a consummate professional through every stage of the process.Liam’s installation was flawless as well, with every detail anticipated and attended to.I am delighted with my bookcase - it has already given me hours of enjoyment.

To anyone who also has a home library dream…You can trust Jason and Liam to make it a reality.The feeling I have is ineffable, as I sit back and stare with awe and admiration at the finished product. Ethereal perhaps!It is EXACTLY what I had envisioned. Jason is an expert in his craft. He attended my house to see the space and listen to me try to put into words what I could so clearly see in my head, and based off that, was able to completely encapsulate my vision and provided a detailed plan including an incredibly inconspicuous provision for a floor heating vent!With over a decade of experience, Liam is a master in his own right with impeccable standards. He carefully and diligently installed every single piece and seemlessly integrated two power points and an NBN outlet. He made sure everything was perfect every step of the way before moving on to the next step.I’m so grateful to these two men and will appreciate their work for years to come! Their professionalism and craftsmanship is exceptional and second to none. I cannot recommend them highly enough.With heartfelt gratitude, Kasey.

Jason was a pleasure to deal with and worked with me to maximise my wall space to accommodate a 4000+ DVD/Blu-ray collection. Finished to a very high standard, I couldn't recommend his services highly enough.

We installed three large bookshelves in our living room. Jason came to measure and gave us helpful recommendations. After a few weeks, Liam (who made our shelves) then came to install them. The selves are great. They are beautifully made! Both Jason and Liam were kind and considerate. Communication was easy and straightforward. Highly recommend Shelf-Life!

We were very happy with Shelf-Life’s great work a few years ago, and now have just had our second big bookcase installed, along with shoe shelving and coat racks around the house.Jason and Liam are always a delight to deal with - creative and responsive in planning, reliable and quick in installation, with high quality bespoke products.Our first bookcase was a great design for an unusual space, and beautifully done.We’re absolutely thrilled with what this new bookcase brings to our living space - it’s perfectly finished and fitted.Thanks again Shelf-Life!

I contacted Shelf-Life and spoke to Jason about building a custom made bookshelf for my apartment. I found him very professional and pleasant to speak to. He really took a lot of time to understand and help me figure out my exact requirements and a design that would work.However, he was too busy to take on the job because he had too many bookcases to build and it was going to be too long a wait for me. So he referred me to his son's company instead and I managed to get an amazing bookshelf built there.Jason was very upfront and honest about not being able to meet my timelines because of a backlog of work. Even then, he still spent time with me to help me come up with requirements and a design so that I could take it somewhere else better prepared.He saved me necessary delays and hassles and wasn't just after my business which I really appreciated. I would definitely highly recommend him but, book Shelf-Life EARLY cos they get very busy, and that's only because they are the best in the business.

This is the 3rd time Jason designed and installed a bookshelf for us. The team is a dream to deal with, professional, creative, polite and hard working. This time they created a large library unit for us, including a cupboard covering up an ugly server unit and creating a reading nook. Everybody loves it and the quality of the work is outstanding.

We couldn’t be happier with the custom bookshelf designed, made and installed by Shelf-Life. It was exactly what we had envisioned, is very sturdy and beautiful to look at. Jason was really great at working with us through the design process, making small changes along the way and taking great care to match the stain of the shelving to existing joinery in the home. We would strongly recommend Shelf-Life to anyone looking for custom shelving or cabinetry.

Shelf-Life as a company was a pleasure to work from initial consultation to installation. Jason was insightful and had a positive aura that allowed me to relax during the whole process of custom bookcase design and construction. Liam was a respectful, articulate individual who took pride in the installation of our bookcases. I would not hesitate to recommend Shelf-Life. I know I will be employing the company again in the future. Regards Lesley from St Kilda

Great working with Jason. Super responsive and in the busiest time of year he made time to install my shelves in my new townhouse right before our family reunion. He is professional, quick and kind. The family all commented how impressed they were with the work. Just wish we had more wall space to find more opportunities to work with him!

Jason and his team did a fantastic job designing, building and installing bookcases for three rooms in our house. We had a vague idea of what we wanted, and Jason was able to guide us through the design process to come up with the perfect shelves for our space and requirements. Jason was always open and communicative about the timeline for building and installation. We couldn’t be happier with the final result, and whole-heartedly recommend Shelf-Life to anyone seeking quality work and customer service.

Jason and his team are just fantastic. They have fitted out four rooms of our house with bookcases to house our extremely large collection of books, and the shelves are the envy of every visitor. They really finish the rooms beautifully and are sturdy and elegant. Jason is wonderful to work with and balances design advice with client preferences, which is why we keep going back!

We are so happy with our high quality, good-looking new bookshelves. With a small space for a family of five, and many books, Jason brought all his design expertise and creative intelligence to our project and came up with beautiful tall, narrow shelves to perfectly suit our entrance hallway. Liam's installation was on time, and fast but with care & attention to detail. Throughout the process, from design to installation, the communication from Shelf-Life was great. We would highly recommend.
