The most common woods used to make kitchen cabinets include cherry, maple, oak and walnut. A wide selection of high quality kitchen cabinets is available in several styles, colors, sizes and brands at wholesale prices.

Cherry is hard, luxurious and rich with a grain that is subtle compared to other hardwoods. The smooth texture and fine grain impart a satin finish to this wood, which makes it ideal to design kitchen cabinets.

Cherry cabinets are glowing and lustrous. While the sapwood is creamy white in appearance, the hardwood varies from red to brown. Some local varieties are available in streaks of yellow, pink or green. Country styled kitchen cabinets are best made of cherry.

Maple is one among the most popular materials to make kitchen cabinets. Maple is extremely hard and is characterized by soft, flowing grains. Patterns on the surface are caused by a variation in density and this close-grained wood is one of the best choices to make kitchen cabinets in enamel or brown shades.

Oak is durable and has unmatched wood quality, which makes it an ideal choice for making kitchen cabinets. Oak is an open- and straight-grained strong hardwood. The natural color of this wood ranges from pink to white. The natural knots, color and grain patterns of oak impart a rich and royal look to kitchen cabinets.

Walnut is a dark colored heartwood and is priceless due to its beautiful texture. Working on this hard and strong wood is relatively easy and its stability and exotic finish make it much sought after for kitchen cabinets.
