A reversed raised panel steps the center back from the frame instead of pushing it forward, so the shadow in the door runs the opposite way to a traditional raised panel. The CNC Cabinetry Elegant White EB10 sets that panel inside a wide shaker frame with mitered corners and a flat drawer face. HM Cabinetry keeps the Elegant White EB10 door at the East Brunswick showroom, where the direction of that step is obvious in the hand.

On a white door the direction of the shadow is most of what you actually see. The CNC Cabinetry Elegant White EB10 uses a reversed raised center panel, so the line around the panel reads as a recess rather than as a bump, which keeps a wide shaker frame from looking heavy on a long run. The corners are mitered and the box is built on the interlock system.

A wide shaker frame with a recessed panel is the middle ground between a plain shaker and a traditional raised panel door. It carries enough shape for a house with real trim and stays simple enough for a kitchen that is not trying to look period. HM Cabinetry uses CNC Cabinetry Elegant White EB10 across Middlesex and Monmouth county houses where the kitchen opens into a living space and has to work with both ends of the room.
The flat drawer face is worth noticing on this door. A drawer front carrying the same profile as the door tends to look busy in a bank of three or four, while a flat face keeps the run calm and puts the detail where the eye goes anyway, which is the doors. Behind that, the Elegant 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 veneer interior and a finished exterior, adjustable plywood shelves, and solid wood dovetail drawers on stainless steel undermount glides.
White doors need their hinges set properly more than stained ones do, because the reveal line between two white doors is the first thing anyone notices. HM Cabinetry makes that six way adjustment on the Elegant White EB10 after the first heating season, handles touch up, and orders replacements out of the same run.
