For over 60 years, Wood-Mode has been widely recognized for excellence in cabinet design, material selection, construction and finishes. Much of the credit is due to the many hand steps executed with pride by our dedicated craftspeople, using only the finest materials, woodworking skills, and the most advanced technology. The result is the highest quality cabinetry with an impressive range of styles, colors, woods, laminates, mouldings and hardware, so your design choices are virtually limitless.

It all starts with lumber processing at Wood-Mode’s highly integrated manufacturing facility. Wood-Mode’s own kilns perform an intensive lumber drying process that achieves the optimum moisture content required for the necessary stability of its custom cabinetry, furniture and architectural elements. Age-old craftsmanship is combined with the precision and accuracy of modern technology to provide meticulous control throughout the manufacturing process.

The finest woods are selected to ensure superior quality

Cherry: A richly elegant hardwood, characterized by a close grain pattern, gum streaks and subtle color variations. Cherry tends to darken with age—a natural process that enhances its warmth and charm.

Knotty Cherry: All of the natural character of Cherry, including knots and checks, gives it a true rustic Cherry Look.

Maple: A finely grained hardwood favored for its distinctive burl patterns.

Heartwood Maple: The rustic natural beauty of Maple, including its mineral streaks, checks, and heavier burl, is usually found in the wood that comes from the center of the tree.

Oak: A hardwood valued for its resilience and prominent grain, beauty and strength.

Pine: A warm softwood with swirling grain and random knots, purposely distressed to give it a softened antique quality.

In addition to the above wood species, decorative rattan, herringbone, olive ash burl, and bird's-eye Maple veneers are available as inserts.

The next step in achieving outstanding durability is choosing the just right components for each specific function. For example, while solid wood is the ideal material for raised panel doors and frame faces, it isn’t always best for sides, tops, bottoms and shelves where strength, stability and warp resistance are essential.

The company produces two full lines of customized cabinetry under the Wood-Mode and Brookhaven names, each with a multitude of storage options. Both feature solid wood doors and multi-step finishing processes, and both are available in traditional framed construction—where the door is mounted on a front frame—and contemporary frameless construction—where there is no face frame so the door is mounted on the cabinet case itself.

Our extensive selection of more than 85 standard wood finish colors, two standard finish sheen levels and 30 standard laminates satisfies a broad range of decorating tastes and lifestyles. In addition, Wood-Mode will custom match unique finishes to customers’ specifications.

Since the delivery of Wood-Mode kitchen cabinets ($43K), out of 34 doors/drawers about 26% had to be replaced due to cracks in the wood. After most doors/drawers (one is still in the process of replacement) were replaced without any issues, 1 door and 1 drawer face were replaced about 4 times since each time wrong size or color was sent. Finally Wood-Mode sent their sales representative who is not even Wood-Mode specialist but an outsourced arrogant sales person who told me that color variation has to be accepted and nothing will be replaced unless I pay for the faulty product company delivered as well as it was impossible to match that color. He almost contradicted himself since he said it was impossible to match the color/grain but at the same time it was possible if I paid for that. I hope that is not a business strategy to earn money for the replacement parts. He also started pointing to small shade differences in color on all doors which were totally acceptable. He also mentioned that since I accepted those I have to accept questionable differences as well. When I told him I was not going to accept that quality he started to laugh. HORRIBLE customer experience.

Our WoodMode kitchen was done in 2000. Twenty one years later, the cherry cabinet natural stain has achieved the warmth that comes with age. The pullout drawers, brass hinges, etc. are still like new. A timeless kitchen. We had two Brookhaven vanities installed in bathrooms two years later; they too are as good as new!

I just sold my house with my 20 year old Wood-mode kitchen and it was well worth the value since it is the reason my house sold in 2 days. It was the reason we received 4 offers over asking price. One person wanted the house only because of the kitchen. That says it all.

We had our kitchen renovated in 2001 and I have never regretted it. I wish I could have taken the kitchen me. The custom finish still looks beautiful as do the insides of the cabinets.The lazy Susan still works perfectly.

I had a narrow space that could not accommodate 24" lower cabinets. We ended up using 12" cabinet depths even for the lower and the drawers were shallow but useful.That was almost my favorite part of the kitchen. I was able to fit my KitchenAid mixer, my Cuisinart food processor and so many other things that now, I wish I could have 12" cabinets depths in my whole kitchen. I never had to move anything to find other things. That depth worked perfectly in the pantry. No dragging out loads of stuff to get to things in the back and that is without any pullouts.

My pullout drawers in my island were so sturdy I never worried about anything being too heavy. My knife block was wonderful.I mean, I could go on and on. And the warranty was fantastic. Three years after we renovated, a couple of doors warped. We contacted Wood-mode and they replaced all the doors and the finish was spot-on and they are still perfect today.

I only hope the they have not lowered their standards because we are about to renovate another kitchen and I will look at Wood-mode first.

I purchased my Woodmode Brookhaven Cabinetry via Teknika Designs, Inc. Philadelphia back in 2011. Their designer thoroughly knew the product inside and out. I heard of Woodmode from magazine ads in the 1970s when my mother subscribed to Better Homes and Gardens, House Beautiful, etc. I tried a home center store that showed me Thomasville cabinetry, it couldn't give me the interior drawer features I wanted due to my various cabinetry depths. My medicine drawers couldn't be placed where I wanted them. I couldn't even compare the colors to my flooring at home. I designed my kitchen layout myself and knew where I wanted everything. Woodmode Brookhaven cabinetry provided EVERYTHING I wanted WHERE I wanted it and then some. In the showroom the quality and strength of the cabinetry could be felt: pot drawer bottoms were thicker, drawer boxes and cabinet doors were heavier and better wood quality; pull out selves support was heavier; quiet close Blumotion units standard; raised paneled cabinets cost the same as flat paneled cabinets. The designer said that spice pullouts were as full depth as the cabinetry allowed--she's right! I could borrow 5 color blocks to take home in order to match the cabinetry color with the border in my oak floor. Brookhaven cabinetry costed $5,000 more than Thomasvile but it was well worth it. My contractor never installed Brookhaven products before and he said, "These are good cabinets". Once I ordered my cabinets (3 finish colors) Woodmode Brookhaven sent to my home 3 color blocks so I could carry these to the paint store and tile stores. I am still happy with the product. The finish is easy to clean, the sink cabinetry is made to withstand water leakage better and she was right. My faucet leaked back into the sink cabinet interior, wetting the cabinet toe-kick and into the basement. It took time to determine the source of water on the basement floor. I fixed the faucet problem and the cabinet suffered no damage at all. I have accidentally dropped heavy iron pots in the pot drawers; heavy 12-can soda packs have slipped onto pull out shelves--yes I'm very clumsy--with no sign of wear to my cabinets. Well worth the money.

Avoid WoodMode! We are a luxury spec home builder in the Seattle area and had WoodMode do all the cabinets in a house.

Here are the issues we have:

A. There have been a massive amount of errors for the entire cabinetry package. We have never experienced this from any other vendor (Belmont, Crystal, etc...). I have outlined them below:

1. Master middle cabinet height is 27" while all others are 25"—needs to get remade.
2. Laundry cabinet with sink depth should be 24" and it is 21" (note that this cabinet also does not have paint on left panel facing the laundry machines, it needs to get remade).
3. Kitchen cabinet to right of range is not plumb/level. (needs to get remade)
4. Kitchen island needs to have finish paint on the ends of the cabinets that face dishwasher on two sides.
5. Fillers short for all 3 upstairs bathrooms.
6. For all secondary baths the lower most drawer face (left and right) is not lined up with the other drawer faces. This is because the face themselves was made short and not an adjustable item.
7. Missing door to refrigerator cabinets.
8. Kitchen wall perimeter missing servo motors added to the Aventos.
9. I checked the order sheet and for all drawers they are Tipon blumotion. Everything has Tipon, but the kitchen drawers do not have blumotion.

B. Issues were first reported to Wood-Mode on Wed 2/27 and the company cannot give my distributor any type of ETA or status update.

This is shocking that we can’t get dates at all. We need cabinets to do countertop slab and tiling around. Vendors have to come back to the site multiple times and the whole project is halted. This is costing our company over $20,000 in damages and growing due to their negligence.

I would advise everyone to look elsewhere.
Cabinet depths do not line up!

I STILL love my kitchen cabinets. After 23 years they still look brand new and fashionable. What is best about Wood-Mode is their LIFETIME warranty. A lot of companies may say 'warranty' but do not deliver. After 22 years, they came back and fixed my cabinet door with no questions!

We installed Wood Mode and Brookhaven cabinets throughout our home in 1994. Kitchen, laundry room, bookcases, and three baths. They are beautiful cabinets in maple. The reason I bought Wood Modes for my home is because of the quality and warranty behind them, despite the costly price tag. My parents installed them In their home 51 years ago. Wood mode always stood behind them and even replaced cracked drawers. Anyway, we decided to go with the soft close hinges. Now, well over 10 years ago, the hinges are malfunctioning. I have nearly all my doors hanging open. My daughters have to keep their bathroom cabinets closed with a hair tie from knob to knob! They just about all screech very loudly when you open them. NOT what I thought I was buying when I purchased wood modes. As of now, wood mode will not do anything other than to tell me they no longer carry the hinges and they are discontinued by the manufacturer. Gee, I wonder why. I seriously feel they need to deal with problem in a satisfactory manner. Just exactly what does a lifetime warranty cover?

We bought a house with a Woodmode kitchen that dates from - wait for it - the 1970's. The finish is still perfect. The hinges are still strong. The doors are still perfectly in place. The drawer features (for pots and pans, silverware and cookware) are still robust and are the same design as more modern kitchens. No, it does not have soft close doors, nor fancy crown molding, Yes the color is out of date and the door panel shape is too. BUT,OMG, this kitchen is still going strong! So, I went to our local Woodmode supplier and found out that they can still match the existing wood color, they can customize, move around, swap out and replace with new all of the existing units if I want to make changes to the layout. I can get toekick valances, new panels, and have additional cupboards added to the existing ones. So I am keeping the floor cabinets and getting them updated, changing out the wall cabinets for a different color, and moving around the double oven, sink and dishwasher. AWESOME. And if I decide after, what, another 10,20,30 40 years I want to change out the bottom cabinets for newer ones - I CAN!!! If you want a kitchen that will basically work with you forever, then this is the one for you. If you want a kitchen you can update, customize and ring the changes with, then this is the brand for you. I'll let oyu know what it looks like when its done!

Getting toast on oak Woodmode cabinets was the best decision I ever made. They are from 1995 and look new. One door is a little off kilter but you need to look really hard to notice. This was a weekend and summer house for many years but has more recently been used full time.
I thought I was throwing out my money after going for the more expensive Woodmode cabinets. Someone I knew got them and the guy who sold them to that person and us was great.
When the appliances needed replacement (dishwasher and fridge) a guy from the local Woodmode dealer got perfectly matched panels 18 years later. Built in gray rubber trash can needs replacement after 18 years - the local Woodmode guy brings it. My brooms make marks on the broom closet floor. They make a thin matching wood piece to go on the floor. Definitely a good decision if you want to do a kitchen once in your life and plan to hang on to your home. As nice as white cabinets are, it is not clear I would have had the same good experience with white.

I used Brookhaven framless cabinetry (a second line of Wood mode cabinetry)in a small kitchen redesign. I now have these cabinets for 3 years and they get some heavy use (4 member family with two early teen boys and I cook a lot!). The cabinets still look like new. The finish is mooth and very easy to wipe down to get rid of the accummulation of busy boy fingerprints. The custom option allowed me to utilize every scrap of space in my smallish kitchen. The cabinets came on time and with no defects. When I came up with some special ideas after some of the cabinets were already installed, the additions I dreamt up were no problem. I did have to wait for these additions, but it was not an overly long wait and it was only fair since I wanted the additions mid project (I dreamt up an extra drawer inside a garbage pull-out cabinet for plastic bags, since I use smaller trash cans that came with the cabinet; I wanted a larger trim on the bottom to better hide the undercabinet light fixtures and I wanted extra top trim to line wall/ceiling corners between cabinets to tie them together.) When one heavily loaded pantry pull-out drawer lost a central support about 6 month after the project was completed, the company replaced the whole drawer with its hardware promptly and at no cost.
If I ever remodel a kitchen again I will use the company with no hesitation.
