CNC Cabinetry Elegant Espresso EB11
A recessed panel nearly disappears on a dark door, which is the thing to know before choosing this one. The CNC Cabinetry Elegant Espresso EB11 steps its center panel back inside a wide mitered shaker frame, and in a deep brown that step reads as a quiet line rather than as obvious shape. HM Cabinetry keeps the Elegant Espresso EB11 door at the East Brunswick showroom, where you can check it at different light levels.
What is built into the CNC Cabinetry Elegant Espresso EB11
Dark finishes take shape out of a door, so the lighting has to put it back. The CNC Cabinetry Elegant Espresso EB11 has a reversed raised center panel and a flat drawer face, which gives one clean shadow line per door and a calm run of drawer fronts beneath it. The door is five piece solid wood with mitered corners, over an interlock box.
• Full overlay five piece solid wood door with a flat drawer face
• Raised panel door with an MDF veneer center panel
• Reversed raised center panel in a wide shaker style
• Espresso finish on birch with mitered construction

More about CNC Cabinetry Elegant Espresso EB11
A dark kitchen is really a lighting plan with cabinets attached. Under cabinet strips bring the counter back, a pale counter surface reflects down into the lower doors, and a light backsplash does more work here than people expect. Without those an espresso run turns the room into a corridor. HM Cabinetry walks through all of it before writing a CNC Cabinetry Elegant Espresso EB11 order, because the cabinets are rarely the part that goes wrong in a dark kitchen.
The flat drawer face matters more on espresso than on any other finish. A bank of three deep drawers in a dark color is a large uninterrupted surface at hand height, so it collects marks along the top edge where fingers land and shows them against the finish. A long bar pull moves the contact point off the face, which is a five minute decision that changes how the kitchen looks after a year. Behind the fronts the box is the interlock build, a full half inch plywood back locked into the sides and screwed top and bottom, half inch plywood sides with a light maple interior, and dovetail drawers on stainless full extension glides.
Dust sits on the top rail of a dark door and almost nowhere else, which is a cloth job rather than a cabinet problem. HM Cabinetry sets the six way hinges on the Elegant Espresso EB11 after the first heating season, handles edge touch up, and orders replacement doors out of the same finish run.
