Supporting Your Needs

You dish it out; our cabinets can take it.

  • For our base, wall, and vanity units, if the shelving unit exceeds 30” in width, a center mullion is added to the face of the cabinet case. This will provide additional support to the center of the shelf to prevent unacceptable sagging.
  • For pantry and wardrobe cabinets, we substitute a stronger ¾” light-weight and stronger plywood material in for any wide shelves that exceed 30”.

The Backbone of Our Cabinets - Thick & Encapsulated

  • We don’t use thin material for the cabinet back. Our cabinets all use a material that matches the other interior components, which is 5/8" thick or thicker.
  • Backs are fully encapsulated (dadoed in on all sides) providing a strong and true cabinet construction.
