Cabinetry Construction

Face-frame or frameless: our construction quality is unmatched. Our cabinets are a superior product because the defined processes and rigorous testing each cabinet goes through before delivery. From efficient and thoughtful design to baked on topcoat finishes, these are the toughest cabinets in town.

CONSTRUCTION QUALITY

Cabinetry Built to a Higher Standard

Crafted with precision, these framed cabinets feature full overlay doors and drawers, painted wood/MDF doors, and a durable ½” plywood box with a UV-coated finish. They’re equipped with undermount, full-extension soft-close drawer slides and concealed compact hinges with soft-close functionality for smooth, quiet operation. Built to last, the cabinets boast a UV-coated natural interior for added durability and a clean finish.

All Plywood Case

Made in 1/2" thick Maple or Birch plywood with strong, secure hanging rails for peace of mind.

Dovetail Drawer Boxes

Made of 5/8" thick solid wood sides and at least a 1/4" thick plywood bottom for strength and durability.

Soft-Close Technology

Nearly all doors and drawers are soft-closing with only a couple of exceptions in specialty cabinets.

Solid Wood Face Frame

Face frames are 1-1/2" x 3/4" solid wood, meaning hinges and doors remain securely fastened.

Face Frame Cabinetry

When in doubt, overbuild it. Solid designs that stand the test of time, with soft-close integration, reinforced corner brackets and no plastic, this traditional design is most popular in our area. The reveal between doors and drawers is larger, giving this construction type a more transitional feel. 

FACE FRAME CONSTRUCTION

Our most popular cabinet construction— face frame cabinets stand the test of time

All Plywood Case

The side panels, tops, and bottoms are constructed of 1/2" thick Maple or Birch plywood. The back is fully captured by hanging rails for peace of mind.

Dovetail Drawer Boxes

No matter the line, all drawer boxes are made of 5/8" thick solid wood sides and at least a 1/4" thick plywood bottom for durability. They utilize dovetail joinery for strength. Under-mount, soft-closing slides are standard.

Shelving

Plywood veneered and edgebanded shelving is 3/4" thick to ensure no sagging. At a minimum, shelves are half-depth and adjustable. We can increase them to full-depth.

Soft-close Doors and Drawers

Nearly all doors and drawers are soft-closing. Cabinets that do not have soft-close are Lazy Susan and other square-corner type cabinets.

Solid Wood Face Frame

All face frames are 3/4" x 1-1/2" solid wood. This means that the hinges and doors remain securely fastened to the frame of the cabinet.

Toe Kick

Toe kicks are 4-1/2" high and are recessed by 3". Finished toe kick covers are installed at the end of installation to create a seamless look across multiple cabinets.

CABINET CONSTRUCTION 101

Frameless Cabinetry

European inspired cabinetry — keeping to the tradition of building a cabinet with all the robust features you see in our framed cabinet. It is ¾” construction with a wood edge band used on the face of the cabinet as standard. The reveals between doors and drawer fronts are tighter. Depending on the cabinet line, these specs may vary slightly.

FRAMELESS CONSTRUCTION

European-inspired construction— frameless cabinets are open and modern

All Plywood Case

The side panels, tops, and bottoms are constructed of 3/4" thick Maple or Birch plywood. The back is fully captured by hanging rails for peace of mind.

Dovetail Drawer Boxes

No matter the line, all drawer boxes are made of 5/8" thick solid wood sides and at least a 1/4" thick plywood bottom for durability. They utilize dovetail joinery for strength. Under-mount, soft-closing slides are standard.

Shelving

Plywood veneered and edgebanded shelving is 3/4" thick to ensure no sagging. At a minimum, shelves are half-depth and adjustable. We can increase them to full-depth.

Soft-close Doors and Drawers

Nearly all doors and drawers are soft-closing. Cabinets that do not have soft-close are Lazy Susan and other square-corner type cabinets.

Full Access

Since frameless cabinets do not have a face frame, the structure of the cabinet comes from the 3/4" thick sides, tops, and bottoms. This results in full access and wider drawers.

Toe Kick

Toe kicks are 4-1/2" high and are recessed by 3". Finished toe kick covers are installed at the end of installation to create a seamless look across multiple cabinets.

THE FINEST FINISHES

Behind the Scenes with a Custom Glaze

Our cabinetry is made with a durable, catalyzed conversion varnish finish and a similar sophisticated paint process, where pigmented primers and topcoats are chemically bonded to each paint layer. Custom glazes are hand-applied for an artistic touch.
