Finishes & Colors

Green plywood library shelving, cabinet finishes and colors

When it comes to cabinet finishes and colors, we keep things simple, beautiful, and high quality. We offer four distinct door styles to match a variety of styles and budgets:

  • Clear-coated Natural Wood Veneer

  • Color-finished Wood Veneer

  • Color-finished MDF (Medex)

  • High-tech Laminate

No matter which finish you choose, every door, panel and exposed edge is hand-finished with natural wood waxes—so your custom kitchen not only looks incredible, but holds up beautifully for years to come.

Natural Wood Veneers

There’s something so special about the warmth and texture of real wood. Our natural wood veneers let that character shine through.

Each veneer is applied to a premium Baltic Birch core, then finished with a durable clear wood wax that brings out the grain and protects the surface.

You can choose from:

Color Finishes

Love the look of a colorful kitchen, but still want to see the beautiful wood grain? So do we!

We’ve developed a core palette of 12 curated wood wax colors, and you can choose to apply them to either:

  • Maple veneer plywood doors, or

  • MDF (Medex) doors, a super smooth and stable option

Because maple and Medex absorb the pigments a little differently, the same color can have its own vibe depending on the material. We stock 4"x4" samples of each core color on both materials so you can compare and see what feels right. To view our full range of colors including our extended palette, click here.

 

Why We Use Osmo® Wood Wax

All of our color finishes are created using Osmo® wood wax, a plant-based product we love for its natural ingredients and gorgeous high quality finish. Unlike many traditional cabinet paints that use petroleum-based solvents, these wood waxes are derived from oils such as sunflower, soy, and thistle which soak into the wood and let the grain show through.

Osmo is:

  • Non-toxic and food-safe

  • Easy to clean

  • Long-lasting, resilient and breathable

  • Beautifully matte and touchable

Laminates

Searching for something sleek, modern, and ultra-durable? Our high tech laminate doors might be the right fit. They’re super scratch and fingerprint resistant, soft to the touch, and available in a range of understated, beautiful colors.

The laminate is bonded to a 13-layer Baltic birch core and the edges are hand-finished with a clear or color wood wax.
