Old Built-ins Don’t Hold Up
Built-ins wear down over time. Shelves may sag. Parts can shift or come loose from the wall. Gaps form. Wood may split. You stop using the space the way you should. Common problems include:
- Shelves that lean or bow
- Gaps between the wood and the wall
- Loose mantels or brackets
- Warped panels or trim
- Not enough storage where you need it
