- Is hickory a good wood for kitchen cabinets?
- Yes. Hickory is one of the hardest North American cabinet woods, harder than maple, oak and cherry, so it resists dents and wear. The trade-off is weight and strong grain variation.
- Will the door match the other cabinets I order?
- Hickory is a natural product with wide color range, from pale cream to dark brown, plus knots and streaks. Expect variation between doors, and order all cabinets for one room together so the mill can match them.
- Does it come assembled?
- Amishwerks sells its cabinets both assembled and ready-to-assemble depending on the listing. Check which version you are ordering, since RTA saves on shipping but requires glue, clamps and assembly time.
- What size opening does an 18-inch wall cabinet need?
- An 18-inch cabinet is 18 inches wide, so plan a rough opening of about 18 inches plus clearance for the cabinet sides and any filler strips. It is 30 inches tall and 12 inches deep, standard upper-cabinet dimensions.
- Can I hang it myself?
- A solid hickory cabinet of this size is heavy, so use a helper and anchor into studs or a proper cabinet rail. Wall cabinets carry real weight once loaded, so do not rely on drywall anchors alone.
- Where is the Amishwerks Rustic Hickory 18" x 30" Wall Cabinet cheapest?
