        "text": "The cost of built-in shelving depends primarily on the total linear footage, chosen materials, and the level of finish carpentry required. Basic open-shelf units built from paint-grade wood or medium-density fiberboard (MDF) are the most budget-friendly options. Costs increase when you add lower cabinet doors, hardwood species, decorative trim such as fluted casing or multi-piece crown molding, and specialty hardware. Site conditions also influence the price; older homes in Denver with out-of-plumb walls or uneven floors require extra framing, drywall shimming, and scribing to ensure shelves sit perfectly level. Integrated features like electrical wiring for TV mounts or puck lighting also adjust labor scopes.",
