All Wood Cabinets

All Wood Cabinets

What do we mean when we say we build “All Wood” cabinets? Let me show you a typical Chateau Mill cabinet, and then we can talk about options and other materials down below.

Here is a typical cabinet I just pulled from the shipping room. It’s a pretty good example of the typical Chateau Mill Cabinet:

Text Box: Shelf (adjustable or fixed): 1/2” or 3/4” Baltic Birch ply Also may match exterior finished ply if exposed

Text Box: Bottom (and tops of wall cabinets): 1/2” Baltic Birch ply Also may match exterior finished ply if exposed

Text Box: Drawer sides and back: Typically 1/2” Baltic Birch ply Could also be solid wood - see more on the Drawer Construction page

Text Box: Finished side: This one is solid wood but finished sides are typically a veneer core ply that matched the face wood. (We can’t buy cedar plywood so this cabinet has a solid side) Sides could also be panelized or have an applied false door.

Text Box: Drawer faces: Solid wood. Drawer faces can be a single piece as shown here or a panel face, similar to a cabinet door. For more on drawers see the Drawer Construction page

Text Box: Doors: Solid wood Although sometimes recessed panels can be made from 1/4” plywood. For more information on doors see the Door Construction page.

Solid wood, plywood, particle board, oh my…..
