FEATURED MAKEOVER: THE GLASS FAMILY KITCHEN

Cabinetry Donated by Cabinet West Distributors

When reviewing cabinet companies you'd typically want to look for quality of the workmanship in the cabinets and the quality of installation. On paper, many cabinet companies may look the same, offering the same wood species and door styles BUT it's the quality of how the cabinets are constructed and how well the cabinet company installs them that makes a difference. Pay attention to details, even the hinges and screws, it must look professional and clean. The difference is in the final product.

Cabinet West is a large distributor with a tremendous selection of cabinet styles to choose from. All cabinets are hand-stained or painted and hand finished. Our team has found the installation and customer care to be meticulous. Here's a recap of what they did:

Here's a close-up of the maple cabinet grain and workmanship during the installion process. Click HERE, to see them upclose and take note of the great workmanship, the graining of the wood and the gorgeous finish.


About Wood Grain & Color ...
Some typical Species of Woods used for cabinets are:

  • Maple (less expensive)
  • Oak (more expensive)
  • Cherry (even more expensive).

    The type of Woods used will affect the price. All wood starts unfinished and is stained or painted in production. The main difference between the wood species is in the graining and colorization of the raw wood. These differences are the most determining factors when selecting cabinets for the project.

    The colorization and grain of the raw wood will dictate how various stains or paint will look on the finished product. Cherry wood has a medium to darker tone, and Maple is one of the lighter woods.
