Behind The Scenes
It’s easy to compare cabinets by looking at the outside.
Door style. Paint. Hardware. Finish.
But some of the most important differences are hiding behind the door.
The cabinet box forms the foundation.
Material thickness and construction influence stability and durability.
Walker Woodworking’s standard cabinet construction uses ¾-inch plywood for sides, bottoms, adjustable shelves, and backs.
Think about how many times you open a kitchen drawer in one year.
Now multiply that by decades.
Drawer construction and hardware matter.
Soft-close hardware isn’t merely a luxury feature.
Quality hinges and slides influence how cabinetry feels every single day.
Walker uses Blum soft-close hinges and undermount drawer slides as standard
Door construction varies based on style, species, and finish.
Painted and stained applications may require different material decisions to achieve the best result.
Cabinet interiors shouldn’t be an afterthought.
Walker uses a maple interior as its standard, with different materials available depending on the finished application.
Even molding construction affects the final result.
Walker manufactures trim from the same hardwood used for the cabinetry, helping maintain consistency across components.
When comparing cabinetry, don’t judge it by price and paint color alone.
Ask:
How is it built?
Because that’s the question you’ll still care about years after installation.
