Face Frames  vs.  European Frameless

A  1" - 1.25"  Structural "Face" is added to the front of the cabinet box.  It is commonly used with the Inset Style design and adds structure to the cabinet.  It also allows us to scribe the cabinets to fit the walls perfectly and avoids the use of fillers by making a wider face frame in corners or misc. areas.

A 3/4" plywood box cabinet only. The front edge of the box is covered with veneer or painted. It's commonly used  as a money saving option and to give you a modern clean line look See below.

Doors sit flush inside the cabinet opening. It's a traditional style and the craftsmanship is appreciated by the people who choose this style.
