Every part gets its own label
IMOS breaks your whole project down into panels, calculates the cutting plan and gives every part a barcode. From design to installation, nothing is left to guesswork.
The founder’s story
How we’re building the best cabinetmaking shop
It all started with our own house
Truhlárna’s founder, Petr Šilhánek, studied mechanical engineering at the Czech Technical University in Prague and earned his MBA at the University of Pittsburgh. For fifteen years, he ran Caterpillar Financial Services (“CAT”) for Central Europe.
After leaving CAT, he started renovating his own house. He was so fed up with the poor quality and unreliability of Prague cabinetmakers that at 45, he trained as a cabinetmaker himself and opened his own shop. CAT leads its industry, and he set out to do the same: build the best cabinetmaking shop in Prague.
Petr Šilhánek, founder
The whole company runs on German principles
Machines, software and the way we work. Our German IMOS software shows us problems nobody could spot on paper, and it runs the entire production process on its own. No cabinetmaker can ever cut a part wrong, because a robot makes every cut.
Some shops get by with cheap or even free software. IMOS lets us plan and cut furniture to a tenth of a millimeter.
A dressing table up close
This is how a dressing table with a round mirror two meters across comes together. Every dimension is accurate to a tenth of a millimeter.
The world’s best saw is right here in Prague
IMOS sends your project straight to our Altendorf saw, one of only six in the Czech Republic. A robot controls it and electric motors drive it, so it cuts to 0.1 mm. The panel “floats” on a cushion of air while it’s cut, so it never gets scratched.
Edges you won’t notice
You can spot poorly made furniture, even custom pieces, by the visible seam where the edge meets the panel. To make sure you never see one on ours, we chose the best edgebander on the market: the German-made Homag. It’s accurate to 0.1 mm, too.
Tools that match our machines
For your furniture to fit to a tenth of a millimeter, we use high-precision measuring tools from the very first site visit. We decided to make only the highest-quality furniture, from only the highest-quality components.
Installed by the people who made your furniture
We don’t use outside installers who know nothing about your project. The people who install your furniture are the same ones who oversaw the “robots” building it, and every one of them is a cabinetmaker. By the way, we hire only the top 10% of applicants, and for design prep just the top 0.5%.
We follow German standards and learned our discipline at CAT, so your furniture arrives exactly on the agreed date. Our strict project management makes that possible.
Truhlárna lives by three principles
- 1.
Thoughtfully
- 2.
Thoroughly
- 3.
On time
If it’s available in Europe, we’ll find it
If something can be found on the European market, consider it found. How about a round mirror two meters across, set into a dressing table with no legs?

I’ve hired them twice now and was happy both times. First for a large closet in my kid’s room, then for an oversized bed. I wanted someone who would show me previews up front and sweat every detail. I was happy with both the workmanship and the fact that they hit the deadline. Highly recommend.
We were very happy with our built-in closets and custom dresser. Quality work and professional service from ordering through installation. This is already our third project with them, and we’ll be back. Thanks, the Lhotský family
We’ve had great experiences with this shop again and again. In the past they built custom built-in closets for our bedroom and entryway, a custom kitchen, and now a beautiful bookshelf. Everything has always gone reliably, on schedule and with perfect communication. The workmanship is precise, with real attention to beautiful details and high quality. We recommend Truhlárna without reservation.
We worked with Mr. Šilhánek on three custom built-in closets for our family home. From our first meeting, where we showed him our designs, all the way to installation, he helped us fine-tune the details, especially the handles. Installation was on time, and everything is assembled and fits perfectly. We highly recommend Truhlárna.
Truhlarna s.r.o. made the furniture for our entire family home, and both the communication and the work itself were completely professional. We’re very happy. The furniture is beautiful and high quality, and they built everything exactly to the design and on time. We recommend them to everyone.
We needed a company to build a custom kitchen for us in Prague. After a long search we found Truhlárna, and we were very happy with them. They refined our architect’s design a bit and suggested a few practical tricks we’re really glad about today. They also made a cabinet for the bathroom and the powder room. They were fast, hit their deadlines and the price was fair, which is pretty rare these days. The kitchen is beautiful. Highly recommend.
They always built our custom furniture exactly to the architect’s design. Hands down the best experience of any cabinetmaker we’ve worked with. No cheap hardware, and the cabinet boxes are rock-solid. Every friend I’ve referred to Truhlárna, s.r.o. has been happy.
We’ve worked with Truhlárna several times. Mr. Šilhánek really tries to deliver what the client wants, and during design and installation he makes practical suggestions you can’t help but agree with. Great lead times, excellent quality and installation.
Apart from a small delay, building and installing a built-in closet, a large bookshelf and a TV cabinet went without a hitch. I’d highlight the quick communication, the spot-on measurements and the design work. The whole Truhlárna team is very professional. If we need more furniture down the road, we won’t hesitate to call Truhlárna again.
Very professional approach and pleasant communication. I appreciate how perfectly they handled even the smallest details. Whenever there was a problem or something unclear, they always sorted it out. Recommend
I highly recommend this company and Mr. Šilhánek. We had a custom kitchen made, and everything went well from design to installation. We’re happy with it.
During the full renovation of our house in Prague 9, I dealt with a lot of different suppliers of so-called custom furniture and home furnishings. Today I know the best one I’ve come across in this field, and one I’m still glad to work with, is Truhlárna. I’d like to thank Petr and his team for their professional, precise approach. P.
professional approach, every agreed deadline met. excellent quality of work. recommend
We worked with the Truhlárna team on custom furniture for our family home in Prague (kitchen, living room, bathroom, entryway). We had drawings from an architect, and we refined them further so they made sense structurally. I appreciated the professional communication and the detailed, itemized quote, which we never went over. What sets Truhlárna apart is their detailed software modeling of the build and how it fits into each specific room, which keeps installation problems to a minimum. Everything turned out exactly as expected, and we’ve had nothing but great experiences with Truhlárna. Thank you.
We couldn’t have been happier with the work. They built our kitchen and built-in closets, and everything went completely smoothly. From the first contact, the communication was professional, and they were glad to suggest solutions and help us fine-tune the details. The work was precise, high quality and done on the agreed date. Everything fits down to the last detail, the craftsmanship is top-notch and the result looks amazing. We also appreciated how clean they kept things during installation, and their whole approach. Thank you
“Custom furniture”, “Custom built-in closets”, “Custom kitchens” Everything went perfectly and I recommend them to everyone. Very professional, great approach.
Truhlárna review: fast, helpful and a perfect result We had an excellent experience with Truhlárna! From the first contact to the final installation, everything went incredibly quickly and smoothly. Their team was always willing and helpful, both during the design and during the installation itself. The whole process, from the first design to completion, took just 3 months, which is amazing for custom furniture. The result exceeded our expectations: the furniture is high quality, fits the space perfectly and is finished down to the last detail. If you’re looking for a reliable partner for custom furniture, I can’t recommend Truhlárna enough! 👌
Truhlárna built out our entire entryway. For us, it’s easily the best custom furniture in the house. Very high-quality craftsmanship. I also appreciate the company’s professional approach, from the quote all the way to installation.
We’re happy to recommend custom furniture from Truhlárna s.r.o. We’ve had two kitchens built in Prague in two years. Everything always turned out the way we pictured it, high quality and perfectly dialed in down to the smallest detail. We also appreciate the quick, friendly communication and the precise work from the installers.
We can definitely recommend this shop. Their custom furniture is exactly what we pictured and high quality, and communication with Mr. Šilhánek was fast and accommodating.
We’ve had the best experience with Truhlárna. They built custom furniture for our apartment in Prague, and everything moved quickly from design to installation. The furniture was made so precisely that installation went off without a hitch. We really appreciated how polite the installers were and how careful and clean their work was.
A beautifully executed, high-quality furniture project for our whole house (kitchen, bathrooms, bedroom, walk-in closet, living room). From choosing materials through 3D drawings of the furniture to the installation itself, it was thoroughly professional work that shows years of experience.
Very professional from the first agreement to the finished job. This was already our second project, and if I plan any more custom furniture, I know who I’m calling.
Truhlárna.com makes the best custom furniture and kitchens in Prague and the surrounding area. We have one of their kitchens and it’s still holding up great. Working with them was fine too. We’re happy.
I was very happy with the custom furniture and the custom kitchen. Also with the high-quality, careful installation
