For more than 65 years, Wood-Mode has been providing America’s finest custom cabinetry for discerning homeowners across the country. Whether for the kitchen, bath, entertainment room, laundry area, home office, personal wardrobe, or any other room in the house, Wood-Mode Fine Custom Cabinetry offers an unlimited array of design choices, allowing the utmost flexibility in fashioning the exact look you desire.

Wood-Mode Fine Custom Cabinetry offers an assortment of door styles and features that address the growing interest in distinctive furniture detailing by designers and architects, as well as the constantly changing needs and tastes of designers and consumers. Wood-Mode has even been voted No. 1 brand name of cabinetry by 1,200 of the nation’s top interior designers. An extensive selection of more than 100 standard wood finish colors, two standard finish sheen levels, and 30 standard laminates satisfies a broad range of decorating tastes and lifestyles. The line also offers a wide spectrum of personalized elements that consumers can add to create the look that fits their own personal style. Backed by a lifetime limited warranty, Wood-Mode Cabinetry is available in both traditional front framed and European frameless construction designs.

Brookhaven Cabinetry, its companion semi-custom line, offers the same two construction choices in styles ranging from country and traditional to European contemporary, in finishes that provide an ideal blend of durability and beauty. It, like Wood-Mode, also features a wide selection of interior convenience options to maximize storage possibilities.

Wood-Mode’s office and manufacturing complex of 1.3 million square feet employs nearly 1,400 people, many of whom are second and third generation employees with their own family tradition for crafting Wood-Mode Cabinetry. The company continues a proud heritage of building the best cabinetry possible by combining the superior skills of these experienced craftspeople with the finest materials and most advanced technology.

It all starts with lumber processing at Wood-Mode’s highly integrated manufacturing facility. On-site dry kilns perform an intensive lumber drying process that achieves the optimum moisture content required for the necessary stability of the wood for use in the cabinetry, furniture, and architectural elements. Select lumber species of cherry, maple, oak, and pine, as well as other quality materials, are processed to exact specifications.

Further enhancing the appeal of Wood-Mode Cabinetry is its certification by the Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association as meeting the standards for its “Environmental Stewardship Program.” This program was created to recognize industry manufacturers who use environmentally friendly materials and production processes. To qualify for and maintain certification, manufacturers are evaluated annually on compliance in five categories, including air quality, product resource management, process resource management, environmental stewardship, and community relations, as well as energy conservation and recycling programs.

Few, if any, other cabinet companies have been as consistently caring for the environment as has been Wood-Mode, and their pledge to their customers is to strengthen that commitment and to continuously strive to meet the following goals: to promote the protection and sustainability of forests and other natural resources through their suppliers; to pursue the inclusion of environmentally friendly products and materials into their manufacturing processes whenever feasible; to protect air quality by complying with all environmental permits and regulations; to employ energy-efficient technologies in their manufacturing processes wherever practical; and to promote their environmental policies and practices to their employees and the public.

Consumers can rest assured: when they choose Wood-Mode and Brookhaven Cabinetry products, they’re investing in beautiful, long-lasting cabinetry that’s backed by age-old craftsmanship and genuine concern and care for the environment.
