Yes, we do custom work. And we can ship anywhere on the planet. See customer stain color photos below.
We can make stereo cabinets, entertainment centers, wide screen television cabinets, CD DVD cabinets, bookcases, complete wall systems, and widescreen tv cabinets—any kind of cabinet you’d like. Even specialized cabinets like LP or reel-to-reel. Unique collectible or display cabinets.
We love a challenge. And our purpose-built factory is equipped for it. Our main wood saw is nineteen feet square!
We can produce your designs in any kind of wood, and from our 42 years of experience, we have contacts for sourcing just about anything.
We can do custom colors in the Minwax Wood Finish palette. The oil finishes on oak yield our most beautiful wood tone shades. Remember that your request for a stain finish on maple will be lighter because the base wood is almost white after fresh sanding. The water based stains offer a wider selection of wood tones and a rainbow of colors. And speaking of color any latex or enamel you've found is an option. Just tell us what you want.
We color, sand, and color again. The final clear topcoat is from Greenlight Coatings, a professional epoxy acrylate satin gloss. We flash cure it with ultraviolet light. It’s an exceptionally durable, solvent-free, no-emission finish.
Regular cabinets ordered through this web site are usually finished and ready to ship in about two weeks. Turnaround on custom pieces is usually one month. Custom colors take a little bit longer.
For custom work, we’ll quote you a price that includes shipping. We can delay a ship, hit a target arrival date, and ship signature required. There's an illustrated hardware checklist in the carton along with easy assembly instructions online. We’re here to support you as you set up.

This is a six-foot high SC2272 entertainment center finished in Minwax Gunstock Oak. The pigments in the stain have a nice balance of red and brown. The summer and winter grains on the oak contrast nicely. All the exposed edges were capped with solid oak so we could do our trademark rounded edge.
