Shelving and Cabinetry

City Beautiful Carpentry can build ANY kind of interior cabinetry. Built-ins and free-standing shelving units can be made out of any material with any finish.
We specialize in working within unique interior spaces and old New York City architecture to create shelving that is so precise that it can make the rest of the room look square and level.
You can choose your material from any available foreign or domestic wood and finishes. As you decide on the specifics of your project, we will advise you on the "greenest" and most environmentally conscious alternatives for your project.

We also use some of the cleanest tools and dust collection systems to ensure that your home stays clean and usable while we are installing your new cabinetry.

Furniture: Outdoor and Indoor

City Beautiful creates all kinds of custom furniture for the finest interiors and the lushest gardens. We can also fix and refinish antique pieces that have fallen into disrepair.

Below is a walnut dining room table that also transforms into a guest bed. You'll have to call us for a description of how that happens, but trust us, it's a transformer.


The wrought iron on this bench is nearly 200 years old, and the original teak was ravaged by weather and time. We made an exact copy of the original wooden slats and gave this amazing antique (and it's identical partner) a new lease on life.The coffee table below is an example of a more modern design. We can work with your designer, or we can help you design a custom piece yourself.


We can make any kind of furniture for outdoor settings, but the 2 images below are examples of furniture that has been integrated into a larger fence and garden design. This ipe set turned the extensive brickwork into a lounge area.And the BBQ table and bench (below) is also a storage cabinet. By lifting the bench seat, the client can access all of their gardening tools and BBQ equipment.

Below is an ipe slatted bench and fence project.

Walnut Kitchen Cabinets and Transforming Dining Table

This project not only included a complete set of custom solid walnut kitchen cabinetry (notice the continuous wood grain across the cabinet faces), but a specialty furniture project in the dining room.




During the day, the solid walnut dining room table and benches serve as a beautiful showpiece for guests, while at night the table collapses to the height of the benches, creating a secret guest bed for friends or family.
