Example Kitchen Pricing
BrightWood custom cabinets are American Made furniture grade all wood cabinets with a very attractive price. If you are looking for an upgrade from low grade cabinets that are called "semi-custom" or "RTA" you will find BrightWood is your best buy. The benefits of owning a bench made cabinet are longer life, vast choices, better drawer glides with steel mounting hardware, stronger box construction, smoother and more durable finishes, higher quality plywoods, better glues on joints, no sag, no replacement worries. The cabinets are highly superior to most cabinets on the market. Many cabinets sold today are made in foreign lands with poor materials and assembled in the USA with plastic fasteners, poor finish, lack of detail to workmanship.

Amazing "The local cabinet showroom was too busy and we felt ignored by the staff. We decided to work with your team and you did an excellent job. Your design was a big surprise because we never imagined the layout you came up with. Awesome job listening to us ramble about our wants. LOL Thanks for making everything amazing."

Cabinet Cutaway To Show Common* Construction
Notice that there are no plastic fasteners, no hot melt glues, no butt joined cabinet panels.
The cabinet sides, backs, floors are all cut so that each panel slips into a slot/joint, glued with construction grade adhesive, and often fixed with metal pins. These are not quickly assembled with weak butt joints often found on lower grade cabinets. The difference you will find in our cabinet construction is that they will be sturdy and outlast many other cabinets on the market.
