You may be wondering what is the more popular style of cabinetry here in Melbourne? Trends come and go and one of the most popular is the Shaker style cabinets. These timeless and contemporary cabinets are leaders in this space. Regardless of whether you have a traditional or modern kitchen, and no matter what benchtops, hardware, and fixtures you use with them, Shaker style cabinets always look great.
Where the name “Shaker” originated from
“Shaker” cabinets were originally created by a group known as the “United Society of Believers”. They became known as “Shakers” because they literally “shook” their bodies during their worships.
The group moved from Manchester, England to the USA, where they settled in New York, building furniture both for their homes, and to sell to surrounding areas. The quality of their work earned them a strong reputation for their simple yet solid designs, with their Shaker style cabinets being the most loved of them all.
How Kitchen Shack makes our Shaker cabinets
All of our cabinets here at Kitchen Shack are made right here in Melbourne. Our company invested in cutting edge technology and machinery to adopt the best practices surrounding lean manufacturing to ensure that we deliver a quality product on time, every time.
Double-sided melamine faced particle board is used to construct the cabinet’s four sides. A re-inforced melamine-faced MDF backing is then added to reduce the weight of the cabinet while not compromising the bright finish on the interior surfaces.
We source our cabinet making materials from plantation timber products, all of which meet AUS/NZ standards for the manufacturing of both MDF and particle board. Our products are moisture resistant and boast the lowest formaldehyde emissions.
A cabinet is only as solid as its components, which is why we securely fasten our cabinets with heavy-duty cabinet screws and industry-leading Hettich soft-close mechanisms from Germany. Floor cabinets are supplied with adjustable legs and all cabinets are pre-drilled for handles and hinges so you can position your cabinets exactly where you want in your own kitchen.
We also have a number of cabinet accessories which can arrive pre-installed or be easily installed by yourself or a general contractor. Some of our top accessories include pull-out bins and baskets, pantry storage units, and lazy susans.
