Customize your shaker cabinet doors with a wide selection of premium solid wood species. Each offers unique grain patterns and finishing characteristics:

• Alder: Warm color tones and subtle grain; excellent for stains and rustic looks.
• Maple: Smooth, fine grain; ideal for paint-grade or light, even stains.
• White Oak: Strong, open grain with natural texture; accepts both light and dark stains well.
• Red Oak: Prominent grain; traditional choice for classic kitchens.
• Walnut: Rich, dark wood prized for depth and sophistication.
• Cherry: Refined grain that darkens with age and light exposure.
• Hickory: Bold, varied grain patterns; adds character to rustic or farmhouse designs.

Doors are supplied unfinished for custom paint or stain, allowing you to create the exact look you want. Paint grade options provide smooth coats for timeless white shaker finishes, while stain-grade selections highlight the beauty of natural wood construction for a high-quality result. If you prefer a factory applied finish, please see our Finished Shaker Doors page for available options.

For those seeking a bright, modern ambiance, white shaker doors open up the space with clean, crisp lines. Alternatively choosing darker stains or black shaker doors can achieve a bold, sophisticated look. The recessed center panel and square profile add depth and texture, elevating the design of any kitchen with enduring, high quality style.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Shaker-style doors outdated?

Not at all. The timeless simplicity and refined aesthetic of shaker cabinet doors ensure they remain a classic choice in kitchen design. Their clean lines and minimalist frame fit seamlessly into both modern and farmhouse interiors, proving that quality, understated style never goes out of style. This enduring appeal is echoed by design experts.

What is the difference between a Shaker and a slab cabinet door?

The distinction lies in construction and visual impression. Shaker doors feature a framed profile with a recessed flat center panel, offering subtle depth and character. In contrast, slab cabinet doors feature a flat panel across the entire surface of the door without a frame. Although the difference is largely asthetic, each has its merits: Shaker doors blend traditional charm with versatility, while slab doors provide sleek minimalism. Slab cabinet doors are flat across the entire surface without a frame.

Are Shaker-style cabinet doors affordable?

High-quality, solid-wood Shaker doors are a worthwhile investment that is valued for durability and craftsmanship. Solid wood shaker style doors are typically more affordable than custom or ornate cabinet styles, making them a cost-effective choice for kitchen remodels. Their timeless design also ensures they remain stylish over time, adding long-term value to your home.
