Solid maple
Smooth, bright and very hard
Maple is one of the hardest woods used for cabinets, with a fine, even grain that looks clean and calm. In a clear natural finish it’s light and bright; with a stain it takes on a warmer, traditional look.
Because it’s so dense, maple stands up well to busy family kitchens. Its tight grain also makes it a good base for a smooth, even stain.

Frequently Asked Questions
Still have questions?
How much do maple kitchen cabinets cost?
Maple is a solid wood, so it sits above our MDF doors. Your price depends on the size of the kitchen, the layout and your finishes. Try the kitchen cost estimator for a ballpark, and you get a fixed quote after a free consultation.
Is maple good for kitchen cabinets?
Yes. It’s one of the hardest cabinet woods, so it handles daily knocks well, and its smooth grain looks clean in modern and classic kitchens.
Can maple be stained dark?
Yes. Maple’s tight grain can take a dark stain unevenly, so we prepare the wood first for an even colour. We bring stained samples to your consultation.
Maple or white oak?
Maple has a fine, subtle grain and a smooth look. White oak has a stronger, straight grain that shows through. Both are hard and durable.
Will maple change colour?
A natural finish warms slightly toward amber over the years, which many owners like.
