Cabinetry · made in our own shop

The reason the grain runs across four doors.

Kitchens, vanities, entries and wardrobes, milled to the drawings you approved and to the room as it was actually built.

Most remodelers order cabinets. We make them, and that is not a boast, it is a schedule.

Ordered cabinets have to be specified before the walls move, because the lead time is eight to twelve weeks. So they are measured against a drawing of a room that does not exist yet, and the fitters spend a week making up the difference with filler strips. Ours are measured after the framing is done and the plaster is on.

Custom, semi-custom and flat-pack

01
Flat-pack

Fixed sizes in 3 inch steps, and the gaps get covered with trim. Fine in a rental, and the honest choice when the budget is the constraint. We will say so rather than sell you something else.
02
Semi-custom

A catalog with more options. Still fixed carcass sizes, still ordered before the room is finished, and the finish is whatever the factory sprayed that week.
03
Ours

Any dimension, because we cut it. Continuous grain across a run, because the doors come from adjacent boards. Fluting, curves and tall runs that go to the ceiling with no gap above them.

You can open them at the studio, which is the only honest way to tell a good drawer from a bad one.

Weight, the sound it makes at the end of its travel, whether the front stays flush when it is loaded. None of that survives a photograph, and it is most of what you are paying for.
