• Cherry: Characterized by luxurious tones, cherry wood lends a lavish look thanks to its natural stain that varies from light pink to rich reddish brown. Offering good bending properties, shock resistance and low stiffness, this wood species is a popular choice for furniture.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHICH WOOD SPECIES IS BEST FOR STAINING DRAWER FRONTS?

Red oak and cherry are excellent choices for staining. Red oak has a pronounced grain pattern that shows beautifully through stain, while cherry offers a smooth, fine grain that stains evenly. Hard maple works well too, though its tight grain means stains appear lighter. Each wood species accepts stain differently, so consider your desired final color when choosing.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PAINT-GRADE HARD MAPLE AND REGULAR HARD MAPLE?

Paint-grade hard maple is specifically selected for painting projects. It may have minor natural variations that won't show once painted. Regular hard maple is a premium grade, perfect for clear finishes or staining where the wood grain will be visible. Both are equally durable — the difference is purely cosmetic. The paint-grade variety offers great value when you plan to paint your drawer fronts.

CAN I GET SAMPLES OF DIFFERENT WOOD SPECIES BEFORE ORDERING?

Contact our team to discuss wood samples. Seeing and feeling the actual wood grain will help you make the right choice when you order. Each species has unique characteristics, like oak's bold grain, maple's smooth texture or cherry's fine detail. Samples let you test how each wood takes your planned stain or finish before ordering your custom drawer fronts.

WHY WOULD I CHOOSE MDF OVER SOLID WOOD FOR DRAWER FRONTS?

MDF is perfect when you're painting your drawer fronts. It has an ultrasmooth surface with no grain for a flawless painted finish. MDF costs less than solid wood and won't crack or warp. It's also consistent throughout, with no knots or grain patterns. Choose MDF for modern, painted kitchens where you want a perfectly smooth appearance.

DO ALL WOOD SPECIES COME WITH THE SAME WARRANTY AND LEAD TIME?

Yes! Whether you choose oak, maple, cherry or MDF, all drawer fronts ship for free within 15 business days. Each piece is crafted to your exact measurements in our factories, and all wood species are covered by our quality guarantee. The only difference is appearance and how they accept stain — the quality and service remain the same across all options.
