Cabinet Construction

While a cabinet, at its most basic, is a box, it’s the choices the cabinetmaker has made that separate the flimsy, fall-apart failure from the well-constructed, durable carcase. Crown Select cabinetry prides itself on every facet of our construction, from rugged doors and drawer fronts, to organizational components to a cabinet carcase that will stand the test of time. The following will explain our inset construction and frameless construction.

Inset Construction

Our cabinet box is crafted from 1/2″ UV-coated lumber core plywood, no added formaldehyde. That includes the flush recessed stretchers, the bottom, and the left and right sides. (And that’s before any applied finished ends.)

The interior shelf is 3/4″ UV-coated lumber core plywood (again, no added formaldehyde!).

Drawer boxes are a four-sided 5/8″ Maple dovetailed drawer with 1/2″ UV-coated lumber core plywood bottom. The drawer box is rated at 90 lbs.

The face frame of the cabinet is solid wood, 3/4″ thick. The drawer fronts are solid wood, 3/4″ thick. Our doors are also 3/4″ thick, solid wood with 1/4″ panels that are veneered MDF.
