Default Desk Library Progresss

My filing cabinet/book shelves are almost complete.

I have finished installing the 5 pieces and have anchored all 5 pieces
to the wall. I also used the hex head washer head nuts and bolts,
intended for the purpose of decoratively fastening cabinets together, to
affix the center over head bridge cabinet to the outer tower book cases
as a redundant method of securing the center cabinet. The center
cabinet also has ears, which are on top and out of sight, which it hangs
on. It hung in place for a couple of days before I added any anchoring
screws.

I still need to build the shelves for the towers and attach a valance at
the top. And possibly illuminate the front of the 3 book case cabinets,
from a hidden slot in the valance, with ribbon LED lighting.

And finally the appearance of the office from the entry way. You will
not actually see the book cases/file cabinets until you enter the room
and turn around to exit.

I still have not ruled out the rolling ladder. BUT I need to see how
this all works out in the interim. Anyway I have 3 customers waiting so
that should make the decision of the $1K ladder easier to swallow.

For certain a rolling ladder should make it easier to relocate when I
need to get into the file cabinets.

Thoughts?
