Cabinet brands on the floor

Five brands. Nineteen lines.

Each brand was chosen for a specific kind of Greater Boston project, from the fastest-shipping all-plywood box on the floor (Mantra) to a true-inset, build-by-hand line that runs ten weeks (StarMark). The cards below show tier coverage, construction type, and lead time. Click into any brand for the full lines table and door-style detail.

Tier reference

What Good, Better, and Best mean on our floor.

Tiers are how we sort lines by construction quality, not by brand. A given brand can carry lines across two tiers (Mid Continent runs Pivot and Signature; Fabuwood runs Quest through Allure). Use this as a quick reference; the brand detail pages go deeper.

Good

Entry-level construction. Particleboard or EFB box, butt or staple joints, partial-overlay framed, basic concealed hinges. Functional for light daily use. Will show wear sooner near moisture. Limited style and finish choice.
