High-tech melamine
Melamine has come a long way. Today's "thermo fused laminates" (TFL) melamines are durable and the colors and textures are better than many expensive laminates. And, TFL price points are much lower! Textured melamines look great, are very durable and competitively priced. Doors come in modern slab and traditional shaker styles.

Closets!
Design your own closets! You can even mix closets and cabinets in our custom design tool. Click here to see amazing closets in various colors, shapes and sizes. We work with Closet Magician for design and installation.
Panel processing
We offer panel processing (aka component manufacture) for cabinet shops, closet installers and panel providers. Please visit our panel processing site to learn more about ways we can reduce your costs and simplify your next job.
