Box Cabinet Construction
When purchasing either overlay or inset cabinetry, plywood cabinet boxes with solid wood face frames, are stronger and the most durable. Home Concept cabinets feature furniture board boxes and cabinets doors with laminate center panels.
Cabinet
door stiles and rails
should be solid wood and the cabinet should feature I-Beams and not corner gussets or corner braces. Wellborn uses
I-Beams
on our framed cabinets because they make a cabinet stronger.
Dovetail construction has always been known as the strongest, most durable method to craft drawers. Our 5/8-inch
solid hardwood dovetail drawer
box comes standard with full extension undermount soft close drawer slides in our Premier, Estate, and Elegant Bath lines. Dovetail drawers are available as an option in our Home Concepts and Select Series.
Purchase base cabinets that come with full-depth adjustable shelves or pullout shelves over ones with 1/2 depth shelves to attain 25% more storage space in each base cabinet.
Wellborn cabinets offer
semi-custom
and custom
You Draw It
cabinetry that arrives ready to install. Each piece has passed through Wellborn Cabinet quality inspectors as each piece is being cut, sanded, painted, and assembled, this allows us to assure the quality of the cabinetry before it is placed in the box with protective corners and packing.

Materials
Wellborn Cabinets are constructed of the following
wood species
Oak, Maple, Hickory, and Cherry. Wellborn also offers Character Cherry and Character Maple
door materials
for people who like rustic looking one of a kind cabinets. MDF Cabinetry is also available in painted finishes.
MDF produces a smooth, glossy luxurious painted finish. The durability and the cost savings of this tough wood product are a plus if you are looking for painted cabinetry. You cannot leave mop water, dishwasher water, or liquid spills around the toe kicks, end panels and back panels of your base MDF or furniture board cabinets as these materials are susceptible to damage from water absorption.
Aspire Cabinetry
is available in Matte, High Gloss, Embossed Melamine, and Heavy Textured Melamine Decorative Laminate Veneers. These Decorative Laminate Veneers have an MDF particle core and a laminate cover layer, the joining of these materials creates a strong cabinet material.
