Inset Cabinets

Customers seeking quality craftsmanship, classic beauty, and smooth clean lines tend to turn to inset cabinets. Known as the time-honored way early woodworkers made fine furniture, inset cabinetry is experiencing a style resurgence.

What are inset cabinets?

Inset cabinetry features doors and drawers that fit inside of the cabinet face frame openings. This type of cabinet construction gives a full view of the cabinet frame, with only minimal spacing or gaps between the cabinet components.

Inset cabinetry is ideal for traditional, transitional and contemporary design styles. It can be customized with:

Beaded or flush face frames
Choice of a 1/4″ bead or a 3/8″ bead
Concealed or finial hinges.

Inset cabinets can be modified to fit any style with a large range of color and finish options, moldings and embellishments.

Inset Cabinet Construction

The side panels (end panels) are 3/4″ thick hardwood plywood.

Options include:

Flush construction
Beaded flush construction

The back panel is 1/2″ thick hardwood plywood.

Options include:

3/8″ thick beaded back panel
3/4″ thick flush back panel

The top and bottom are 1/2″ thick hardwood plywood.

The interior is natural birch melamine.

Options include:

Veneer that is stained to match the exterior color
Natural maple veneer

Shelves are 3/4″ thick hardwood plywood.

Shelves in base cabinets are two-thirds deep.
Full depth shelves are available in base cabinets.

The toe kick is fully enclosed.

Inset Cabinet Assembly Notes

Inset cabinets add a few days to the lead-time.
Not all door styles are available in inset configurations. Solid doors, mitered doors, MDF doors and veneered single piece doors are not available in inset. Traditional mortise and tenon doors are all available.
Inset cabinets require more attention over time. Doors and drawers need to be adjusted as the wood moves seasonally as the 3/32″ space between door and frame will possibly change.
Hinge brackets should be installed on the cabinet face frame before assembly.

See What Our Customers Have To Say

What a great experience to have such a reliable, professional company come to work in our condo! Zayne was so nice and helped us find the perfect cabinets for our kitchen. Dion, who works for Zayne did a wonderful job in completing the projects. We also had electrical, painting, and additional carpentry completed. Everything went just the way we wanted. We could not be happier. We are also going to get additional pricing for more work that we want to have done in our condo in the future.

Zayne will work diligently with you to develop your vision of your project and point out the constraints of your home and how you can proceed to achieve the end result.

Zayne expresses serious concern about your budget and how to accomplish your ideas without spending unnecessarily. His sub-contractors and suppliers are all equally welcoming and patient when you are working with them to find the cabinetry, trim, stone, paint and other materials that are not “cookie cutter”.

This is a professional company in every sense of the word! We hired them to completely remodel our kitchen when we purchased a 20 year old house. They did an amazing job! They were there when they said they would be. They worked full days with few breaks and the quality of their work was superior. I would definitely recommend them and will use them again on future planned projects!

Each time the work has been completed on the agreed schedule and above my expectations. Most importantly it is critical to work with someone you trust and that has the knowledge and experience required – Lifestyle truly fits this description.
