Framed RTA cabinets - style guide
Traditional Style Guide
Traditional is our classic framed line: solid birch doors and face frames, A-grade plywood boxes, soft-close hinges and dovetail drawers, in 14 colors - from white and gray shakers to glazed Antique White and rich Cherry, Coffee and Honey stains.
All 14 colors are one price. Traditional is a special-order line, made for your order.
About the Traditional line
Traditional cabinets are framed RTA cabinets with solid birch doors and face frames (Antique White doors are HDF) on a 5/8" A-grade plywood box with wood veneer. Every color has concealed 6-way adjustable soft-close hinges, solid wood dovetail drawer boxes on full-extension soft-close undermount glides, and metal cam-lock connectors.
The 14 colors come in two construction groups. Group 1 has a natural wood interior and 3/4" shelves and drawers - plan skin panels for exposed sides. Group 2 has an interior finished to match the door. Classic White is half overlay; all other colors are full overlay.
Important: Traditional cabinets are special order and final sale - no exchanges or returns. Some mouldings, posts, valances and corbels are made in certain colors only; send us your list and our Pro team confirms availability before you order.
