We have a small study (I think about 11'x13') in our new house and DH is determined to have built-in bookcases and desk done to finish the look. I know for the type of design we want, custom work is going to be beyond out budget (budget around $5k-$7k). So looking at some alternatives of quality hardwood modular home office collections online, I came up with these options:

1. Parker House Furniture - Da Vinci Collection (7 piece unit here and we'll add an outside corner piece separately: http://belfortfurniture.com/Item.aspx?ItemID=511270891&ItemNum=DAV-7P)

2. Aspen Home Furniture - They have a lot of different collections. Maybe something like this: http://www.aspenhome.net/default.aspx?tabid=223&pid=568.

We want to stick with the peninsula desk design because having a stand-alone desk in that room looks way too crowded (seen it in my neighbor's house and didn't like it). We are open to any other brand that makes high quality configurable home office units, with more intricate design. And for the price we are paying, hopefully we are not going to end up with a bunch of MDF boards like Hooker Furniture uses (they were on my list before I learned about their quality issues). Many thanks for any suggestions!
