Mueblería de Jesús
For great custom made bookcases and some pre-designed end tables/night stands, we went to Mueblería de Jesús (Hidalgo 857, esquina Jesús 33/3826-2202). They do very nice, reasonably priced work. Keep reading to see the photos.
Four Bookcases, Connected
The folks at Mueblería de Jesús are very friendly, and they will work with you to get just what you want. We measured our wall and had them build four identical bookcases to fill the space. We selected every single aspect of these: the color, the fact that there's a back on them, the fact that they connect, the depth of the shelves, the number of shelves, how much they can adjust up and down, the thickness of the wood facing the front, etc.
The night stands we selected were very similar to the end tables we bought (shown below), but we chose a lighter color and a style with three drawers instead of a drawer and a door.
End Table
I'm not incredibly happy with the round ball style of feet on these, but after going through all the discussion of the bookcases, I was a bit exhausted. Maybe they'll grow on me. Or maybe I'll go back and have them make me some different feet. Little brushed stainless posts might be nice...

Very nice - looks like good work! I like the little squashed ball feet.

So when are you going to post recent pictures of your apartment with all of the new additions??? I am dying to see what you have done with the place!
