These were built-in by a cabinet maker and they turned out great. As long as you have partitions every 36" with a center divider, you should be fine!

what is the color of the inside the bookcase? How did you choose that color? Did you pull that color from another item in the room?

Yes, those are built-in bookcases. Sherwin Williams Dovetail Grey I used it as a highlight. It is complimentary to the room.

I'm so sorry, I don't keep the records for more than 5 years. The color compliments the carpet and all of the furnishings in the room.
