American Cabinets for Traditional and Transitional Kitchens

American cabinetry carries the warmth of fine furniture: solid face frames, raised and recessed panels, hand-rubbed stains and painted finishes.

It is the backbone of traditional and transitional kitchens, and we design it with two American makers, Wood-Mode and Crystal.

The Style

What makes a cabinet American

Most American cabinetry is built with a face frame, a hardwood frame around the front of each cabinet. Doors can sit inset within the frame for a classic, furniture-like look, or overlay it for a cleaner line. Shaker, raised panel and recessed panel doors are all at home here.

The style ranges widely. A traditional kitchen might pair cherry or painted cabinetry with crown molding and a furniture-style island, while a transitional kitchen keeps the warmth but simplifies the details for a lighter, more current feel.
