Pre-Assembled English Walnut Spice Specifications

Maple is a close-grained hardwood that is predominately white to creamy white in color, with occasional reddish brown tones. Maple typically features uniform graining as compared to other wood species. Characteristic markings may include fine brown lines, wavy or curly graining, bird’s eye dots and mineral streaks. The natural characteristics described below are normal and should not be considered defects:

• Creamy white to light blonde tones to dark reddish brown tones
• Mineral streaks that are a natural characteristic and will appear darker with stain
• Wavy, curly bird’s-eye or burl graining as well as worm tracking across the grain that will darken when stained
• Variations within a single door or among adjacent cabinets in a lighter stain can be expected to yellow over time

Note: The Mocha Cinnamon Glaze assembled cabinetry is priced without finished sides (end panels) to save our customers money. Most customers only purchase end panels on cabinets at the ends of their kitchen where the sides are exposed, although you are more than welcome to purchase finished ends for all of your cabinets.

***All single door base and wall cabinets will automatically be hinged to the left unless otherwise specified. In addition, all end panels (including refrigerator and dishwasher panels) will also be finished on the left side unless otherwise specified. If you would prefer to have single door cabinets hinged to the right or panels finished on the right, please specify that under the Order Notes section upon checkout***

Glaze Finishes

All our glazes are individually hand-brush applied. Glazing is most apparent in contours where “hang-up” would occur. Doors with less detailed profiles will show less hang-up which accentuates the grain’s natural attributes. Glaze adds depth, dimension and an understated sheen that’s guaranteed to endure. Glazing results in each piece being unique and individualized. When choosing glazing please understand that each cabinetry component will have a finish appearance that is slightly different from the next. Glazing over lighter stains will result in more noticeable variation than over darker base stain colors. Painted doors that are glazed also utilize dimensionally stable MDF in lieu of solid wood for center panels to add stability against seasonal thermal dimensional changes. Glazing marks may appear outside of the general ‘hang up’ area. Additional maintenance may be required for painted doors against chips, marks, hand/finger prints, and residue from normal kitchen use.
