CABINET GUIDE

Good cabinetry starts
with the details.

Compare finishes and door profiles, explore construction and understand assembly. Confirm the exact specifications for your selected collection.

Finishes & door details.

Paint & Stain

Charcoal, sage green and off-white painted Shaker door samples
01

Painted finish

Opaque color creates a smooth, cohesive look, with the focus on the color and door profile.

Stained finish

Stain brings natural grain and wood character into focus. Variations in tone and grain give each door its own expression.

Shaker detail.

Two details shape the look: the width of the door frame and the profile along its inner edge.

01

Door frame

Choose the proportions that suit your space.

CABINET MAKING & ASSEMBLY

From individual parts
to everyday living.

Follow the components, surfaces and connections that turn a cabinet design into a finished space, from material preparation to assembly.

Good cabinetry starts with the details.

Illustrated process overview. The exact process varies by construction, finish and collection.
  1. 01

    Material preparation

    Start with the parts

    Frames, panels, shelves and drawer components each have a different role in the cabinet.

  2. 02

    Machining & joinery

    Shape the connection

    Parts are cut and joined to form the door, drawer and cabinet structure.

  3. 03

    Sanding & finishing

    Bring the surface together

    Surface preparation and finishing create the appearance you see and touch.

  4. 04

    Cabinet assembly

    Build the structure

    Panels, frames, drawers and hardware come together according to the cabinet design.

  5. 05

    Fit & adjustment

    Refine the movement

    Doors and drawers are aligned and hardware is adjusted during assembly and installation.

  6. 06

    Packing & delivery

    Prepare for your project

    Confirm whether your order is ready to assemble or assembled, along with delivery and installation scope.

ASSEMBLY RESOURCES

Know what comes
before installation.

Ready-to-assemble cabinetry arrives as components. Assembled cabinetry arrives with more of that work complete. Review your cabinet model, included hardware and assembly format before planning installation.

Follow the instructions for the exact cabinet supplied.
