Learn what makes cabinet lines different.
Cabinetry 101

Not all cabinetry brands are built the same.

Two kitchens can look identical and have wildly different cabinetry underneath. The brand you choose changes how the cabinets are built, how they age, and what you can customize. Here's how to read the landscape.

Framed

A face frame is attached to the front of the cabinet box. Classic American look, traditional or transitional.

Frameless

European construction with no face frame. Cleaner reveals, more usable space inside, naturally modern.

Inset

Doors sit flush inside the frame. Tight tolerances, furniture-like, premium look — and premium price.

Overlay

Doors sit over the front of the cabinet. Standard, durable, and the most cost-effective option.

Stock

Pre-built sizes with a fixed menu of doors and finishes. Fastest and most affordable.

Semi-Custom

Stock sizing with broader door styles, finishes, and modifications. The everyday sweet spot.

Custom

Built to your exact sizes and details. Hand-finished, furniture-grade, whole-home capable.

Lead time

Stock ships fastest. Semi-custom takes a few weeks. Custom can take months — for good reason.
