Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question? You can find the answers for the most common questions asked by our customers.
Are your cabinets all wood?
Yes. We construct our cabinets using hardwood for our face frames. Our cabinet boxes use furniture-grade, high-density plywood. Our doors are constructed using hardwood stiles and rails but do have a wood veneered MDF (medium-density fiberboard) center panel to help minimize the effects of expansion and contraction.
What is the interior finish of your cabinets?
Our interior finish is a natural hardwood finish.
Are your cabinets strong enough to support a granite countertop?
Yes. Our cabinets use furniture-grade plywood for construction. We also use pocket-screw joinery to ensure a solid and secure construction. Our solid wood corner braces offers extra support and sturdiness.
What is the difference between full overlay and partial overlay doors?
Partial (or Standard) overlay doors cover 1/4” to 1/2” of the face frame. This leaves a 1” to 1 1/4” reveal of the face frame. For examples of a partial overlay door, check out any of our Choice Essentials door styles. Full overlay doors cover 1 5/16” of the face frame. This leaves a 3/16” reveal of the face frame. For examples of a full overlay door, check out any of our Choice Select door styles.
What cleaning products can I use on your cabinets?
We do not recommend using any household cleaning products. Use a clean, soft cloth dampened with mild soap to clean your cabinets. Dry immediately with another clean, soft cloth.
What is soft close technology?
Soft Close technology prevents the slamming of cabinet doors and drawers. Soft close is a shock absorber that allows the door or drawer to close softly and quietly. Our Choice Select line comes with soft close standard. The Choice Essentials lines do not, but can be upgraded with soft close.
What if I scratch or dent one of my cabinets?
Wax fill sticks and touch-up markers are available for all of our finishes.
Are the doors and shelves of your cabinets adjustable?
Yes. Our standard and soft close hinges are 6-way adjustable. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver and a small level. Adjusting the drawers requires no tools.
Will I need a finished panel to cover the exposed sides of the cabinets?
No. All of our cabinetry comes with prefinished sides and end panels.
Why is a toe kick required for my cabinets?
Our cabinetry has an unfinished toe kick that adds extra strength and durability to base and tall cabinets. Ordering a matching toe kick creates a finished and seamless look.
