How much to get shelves made by a carpenter?

[irishmurdoch]

I'm looking at getting some shelves to finally sort out our 'WFH' area but weighing up buying something off the peg versus getting them made. I'm looking at wooden bookcases around 2m tall and 180cm wide online and they're all around £2000, which seems insane - especially as none of them are quite what I'm looking for. At that price I'm thinking I might as well pay someone to get exactly what I want. Any suggestions as to what a carpenter might charge to do a built-in shelving unit of those dimensions in wood (rather than MDF)?

Have you looked at diyalcovecabinets.co.uk you can price up exactly what you want and then fit it yourself or at least it might give you a guide for how much a carpenter might charge (minus labour of course)

Thanks, will take a look!
