Gloss or wood grain?

This collection splits into two families. Here is how to choose between a high gloss finish and a wood grain finish for your space.

High gloss

Glossy White and Glossy Dark Grey reflect light around the room, which makes a small kitchen feel bigger and brighter.

Bounces light in small or dark rooms
Sleek, contemporary look
Wipes clean with a soft cloth
Shows fingerprints more than wood grain

Wood grain

Miele Oak and Dusk Wood bring warmth and texture to a modern layout, so the kitchen feels inviting instead of stark.

Hides fingerprints and everyday wear
Warm, natural, modern organic look
Pairs well with black and brass hardware
Less reflective in rooms with little light

What makes it slab

One flat face. No grooves to clean.

A slab door is exactly what it sounds like: a single flat panel with no frame, no recessed center, and no molding. The finish carries the whole look, which is why these doors feel so clean and modern.

Flat fronts rose with mid century modern and European design, and they remain the signature of a contemporary kitchen. Because there are no corners for crumbs and grease to settle into, they are also the easiest doors to keep clean.

Easy to clean

No grooves or inside edges, just one smooth face to wipe down.

Lets hardware shine

Long bar pulls and slim edge pulls look their best on a flat door.

Full kitchen lineup

Base, wall, tall, sink, corner, and vanity cabinets.

Safer materials

Composite wood that meets CARB Phase 2 standards.

Slab in real kitchens

Where slab cabinets work best.

Slab doors suit open floor plans, condos, rentals, and any space where you want the kitchen to feel calm and uncluttered. They also make a striking island against a more traditional perimeter.

Long layouts

Slab doors are not just for kitchens. The same finishes are available as bathroom vanities and laundry room cabinets, so a modern home can carry one look throughout.

Compare door styles

How slab compares to our other styles.

Slab is our most modern door. If you want a little more detail, the shaker family adds a simple frame, while raised panel brings full traditional character. Many kitchens mix two of these styles, and we make sure they line up.

Questions

What are slab cabinets?

Slab cabinets have flat doors made from a single panel, with no frame, recessed center, or molding. They are also called flat panel or flat front cabinets, and they are the standard for modern and contemporary kitchens.

What is the difference between slab and shaker cabinets?

A shaker door has a square frame around a recessed panel, which adds a subtle shadow line. A slab door has no frame at all, so it looks smoother and more modern. Shaker leans classic, while slab leans contemporary.

Are high gloss cabinets hard to keep clean?

They are easy to clean but quicker to show fingerprints. A soft microfiber cloth with warm water keeps them looking new. Avoid abrasive pads, which can dull the shine. Bar pulls on every door also cut down on fingerprints.

Do slab cabinets need hardware?

We recommend it. Pulls make the doors easy to open and protect the finish from fingers and the oils they leave behind. Long bar pulls or slim edge pulls keep the clean look that makes slab cabinets so appealing.

Are slab cabinets a good choice for rentals?

Yes. Flat doors have nothing to chip at the corners of a frame and are quick to wipe down between tenants. A wood grain finish is especially forgiving of everyday wear, and ordering the same finish for every unit makes future repairs simple.

Can I mix slab and shaker in one kitchen?

Yes. A slab island with shaker perimeter cabinets, or the reverse, is a smart way to blend modern and traditional. We line up heights, trim, and toe kicks across both styles.

Will slab cabinets go out of style?

Flat doors have been a staple of modern design for more than half a century, so the style itself is not a passing trend. If you want extra staying power, choose a wood grain finish, which tends to age more gracefully than a bold gloss color.
