Product Description
From Library Journal
Proulx offers a variety of designs for home office furnishings that are functional, professional looking, and well within the abilities of most woodworkers. Using sheetgoods, modern fasteners, and some solid wood, readers can make a workstation, several kinds of desks, bookcases, and a lateral file cabinet. Proulx offers easily followed instructions supplemented by a wealth of color photographs. Owing to the proliferation of home offices, there is sure to be interest in this title. Recommended for most public libraries.

From Booklist
It is tempting, especially for those familiar with wood and tools, to try to build a functional piece of furniture. In one word, don't--until you use a beginning how-to book and then turn to Proulx's latest guide. This woodworking expert is no stranger to the art of crafts writing; after such titles as How to Build Classic Garden Furniture and Smart Shelving and Storage Solutions, he's now put together a home office workshop in print (with some help from Jim Stack, editor of Popular Woodworking) featuring 14 "must have" projects. Detailed directions include two types of cutting lists, hardware and supplies, 3-D illustrations of each component and how they fit together, tips (for instance, make sure drawers are one inch smaller in width than the cabinet's inside dimensions), construction notes (information about possible variations and additions), and photographic step-by-step instructions. What's more, he starts by building modules--laminate tabletop, file and storage drawers, desktop organizers--and graduates to such projects as an office bookcase and a writing desk. Suppliers and sources appended. Barbara Jacobs

Fantastic tool!, Feb 15 2009
By J. Turner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Build Your Own Home Office Furniture (Paperback)
A number of years ago I wanted to make a horizontal file cabinet for my wife. After a lot of searching online for good plans, I came across this book. Although I was skeptical, it was the best (promise of) plans I could find. The description, discussion and step-by-step instruction was terrific and the file cabinet turned out perfect! Not only did I save money by building my own, but it's more of what I wanted to begin with and I had almost as much fun building it as surprising my wife with it on her birthday. We're considering remodeling the kitchen in our new house, and Danny Proulx's other books are high on my list for new cabinets if we decide to do it.
