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.

The bookcase Jason designed has transformed the room and made it feel cosier and more like a home. Liam was meticulous with the install and I really appreciated his attention to detail and desire to make it perfect.

We had a large wall full of bookshelves designed and installed. Great quality work all the way from the initial consultation to the final result. The installation team did a great job ensuring that all the details were taken care of re wiring etc. The shelves look awesome. Highly recommended.

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.

Very professional overall. Liam commended for his application to his trade and attention to detail. His politeness and respect for your home is commendable. The old story… you get what you pay for.

I love the cabinetry and bookshelves that Jason designed, they're both practical and beautiful and the quality is fantastic. Liam and Nick installed both with ease. I couldn't be happier.

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.
