Why cherry?

It gets better with age

Cherry darkens with light and time, from a light reddish tone to a rich, deep red-brown. Doors from the same order age together.

Fine, smooth grain

Cherry’s grain is fine and even, for a refined look. Select grade keeps the color uniform, with little or no light sapwood.

Clear or a light stain

A clear topcoat lets cherry age naturally. Light to medium stains work well if you want the darker look from the start.

Hard enough for cabinets

Cherry rates about 950 on the Janka hardness scale: softer than maple or oak, but durable for doors and drawer fronts.

Cherry questions

Can I order cherry doors in any size?

Yes. Every cherry door and drawer front is made to the width and height you enter, and the product page shows the price as you go. How to measure

Does cherry darken over time?

Yes. Cherry is sensitive to light and darkens noticeably, most of it in the first year. Keep that in mind if you add doors later, as new doors start lighter than the ones already in your kitchen.

Should I stain cherry?

Many customers choose clear and let cherry darken naturally. If you want the deep color right away, choose a light to medium stain color.

Is there a less expensive wood that looks like cherry?

Clear alder is often used for a cherry look at a lower price, especially with a stain.
