Greystone is the deeper of the two Oxford grays, and that depth is what makes the pressed texture read. The CNC Cabinetry Oxford Greystone O19 is a five piece shaker door in PVC laminate over a three inch solid wood rail, hung on a frameless box. HM Cabinetry keeps the Oxford Greystone O19 door at the East Brunswick showroom next to the silver, which is the comparison that settles most of these decisions.

A darker gray shows texture better and shows marks more, and that is the trade on this door. The CNC Cabinetry Oxford Greystone O19 answers the second half with a deep pressed grain that scatters light instead of holding a smooth reflection, and the five piece shaker frame carries a solid wood rail rather than a wrapped core. The box is frameless, with the opening running the full width of the cabinet.

Greystone works where a kitchen needs weight at the bottom and light at the top. Run across the base cabinets with a lighter wall cabinet or open shelving above, it grounds the room without closing it in, and the texture keeps the dark gray from reading as a painted slab. HM Cabinetry uses Oxford Greystone O19 that way in Middlesex and Monmouth county kitchens with eight foot ceilings, where a full dark run would sit too low on the room.
The build is where this series separates itself from cheaper laminate. The box is held with wood dowels glued and clamped under pressure instead of staples through a thin panel, and the quarter inch back is braced with three quarter by four inch rails top and bottom so the cabinet does not rack when it is screwed to an uneven wall. Drawers are double wall metal with a wood bottom, which carries weight better than a stapled wood box and keeps the side profile thin so the drawer holds more. Shelves are full depth plywood and fully adjustable.
Dark doors show dust along the top rail, and a textured dark door shows it slightly less. HM Cabinetry sets the six way hinges on the Oxford Greystone O19 after the first heating season, keeps a spare door for the trash pull position where wear turns up first, and sources replacements from the same batch so the gray matches across the run.
