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.

Glass front cabinets are a beautiful addition to the kitchen, but how many are just right? While you can choose to do all of your upper cabinets in glass, it’s important to remember that everything will be visible, so if you have certain dishes or food items that you would prefer to keep out of sight.
We desire to help create a space that is ideally suited for them and will allow them to continue doing what they love, completely unhindered. We have 20 years of experience helping our clients in more than ten counties and look forward to helping you achieve the kitchen you need.
At Walker Woodworking, our custom cabinetry craftsmen know that one of the most basic decisions about your kitchen cabinet is the material from which they are constructed. You certainly have several popular choices for this decision.
When doing a kitchen or bath remodel, one major decision you’ll have to make is whether to go with off-the-shelf cabinetry, custom cabinetry, or a combination of the two. While pre-made cabinets may cost less upfront, they offer limited flexibility in achieving your exact design and functionality goals.
