In shuls, yeshivas, batei medrash, and mikvahs, every functional detail reflects reverence. A&W Metal Works crafts Custom Shul Bookcases that are as practical as they are beautiful, creating storage solutions that respect tradition and support daily religious life.
Crafted for Sacred Environments
Our bookcases are built with a purpose:
- Made to Measure – Heights can be “Standard” or “Custom,” with pressed wood options tailored to your needs.
- Any Finish You Imagine – Choose from Natural, Walnut, Sedona Red, Brown, Simply White, Red Chestnut, White Oak, or fully custom stains.
- Premium Construction – Constructed from high-quality pressed woods with optional metal accents, these units are made to hold a lifetime of books, seforim, and ritual objects.
- Seamless Aesthetics – Coordinate finishes with existing millwork—from arks to benches—to create visual unity throughout your space.
Built to Endure
Since originating originally as Aronowitz Metal Works in Israel in 1995, A&W has prioritized quality that lasts. Today, our bookcases are crafted with that same care:
- Rigid engineering and construction ensure that shelves remain straight and secure under substantial weight.
- Adjustable shelving and custom compartment layouts accommodate everything from Chumashim and gemaras to prayer books and binders.
- High-end finish options provide both elegance and surface protection against scratches, dents, and wear.
Our work is backed by a lifetime workmanship guarantee, reflecting confidence in durability and design.
Enhancing Harmony & Order
A well-organized environment supports spiritual focus:
- Easy book access - Slotted or open shelves make it simple for members to retrieve and return texts.
- Clutter-free areas - No random stacks or misplaced volumes–every item has a place.
- Elegant presence - Beautiful wood finishes and clean lines elevate the sanctity of communal spaces.
