Choice Signature
This is the range most of our kitchens come from, and if you asked us to pick one for our own house, it would be this.
Shaker doors in painted and stained finishes, over a cabinet built the way cabinets are supposed to be built: 3/4″ plywood box, dovetailed drawers, full-extension undermount glides, six-way adjustable hinges. Nothing exotic. Everything right.
The construction, in plain terms
3/4″ plywood boxes and shelves. Not particle board. Plywood holds a screw, survives moisture, and does not sag across a wide span. This is the single biggest difference between a kitchen that looks tired in eight years and one that does not.
Dovetailed drawer boxes. The joints interlock rather than relying on staples or glue. Drawers are what fail first in a kitchen, and dovetails are why ours do not.
Full-extension undermount soft-close glides. The drawer comes all the way out, so you can reach the back of it, and it closes quietly every time.
Six-way adjustable soft-close hinges. Doors can be aligned precisely at installation and re-aligned years later as a house settles.
The finishes
Painted white, off-white, fog grey, charcoal and black. Stained maple and natural oak. Step shaker, bevelled shaker, narrow shaker and slim shaker profiles.
Narrow and slim shaker profiles are worth a look if you like shaker but find the traditional frame heavy — the thinner rail reads noticeably more current without going fully modern.
Countertops that suit it
Signature is the most flexible range we sell, and almost anything works over it. Two reliable pairings:
White shaker with a grey-veined white quartz. Enough separation that the counter reads as a deliberate choice rather than blurring into the doors. See the white range →
Stained maple or oak with a warm gold-veined slab. Warm stone under warm wood. A cool grey-veined white against oak reads slightly wrong in a way people notice without being able to name it. See Cream & Beige →
Common questions
Is this the same as custom?
No. Signature is stock sizing, which is why it costs what it does and arrives when it does. If you need a custom width or an unusual depth, that is Möbel.
Painted or stained — which lasts better?
Both hold up. Painted shows chips more visibly on an edge; stained hides wear but shows water marks more. Neither is a mistake.
