Materials:

Refined Maple and Dulcet Cherry Face-Frames, Doors, Drawer Fronts:

Hard Maple and Cherry products allow for many of the natural characteristics of the wood to be present in the product while limiting or eliminating the most objectionable. This material grade allows The Cabinet Bar to utilize as much of the natural resource as possible while still producing a product that meets the needs of our customers.

Even though each board has its own unique color and grain, staves will be matched for a pleasing appearance. Colors will be blended within each door. Character marks such as pin knots and mineral streaks are limited in size.

In Cherry (a "Heartwood" species), the amount of sapwood that is present on the face of a door is limited and will only be present in the profiled areas. In Maple (a "Sapwood" species), heartwood is minimal and limited to machined areas.

Snowbird White and Universal Grey Face-Frames, Doors, Drawer Fronts:

For painted products, we use a paint-grade product that allows for the natural color range of Hard Maple including stain and mineral. Products made from this grade will not be matched for color prior to finishing, with heartwood and sapwood present in varying amounts. Knots, wormholes and other defects that would cause voids are limited, providing a smooth paintable surface. The panel of these raised panel or flat panel (shaker) doors will be made from 3/8" thick or 1/4" thick, respectively, Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF). This material holds a painted finish just like wood, but does not expand or contract with changes in humidity or temperature the way that a solid wood panel might. 1-piece (Slab) drawer fronts do not contain any MDF. Color variations in the unfinished materials will be virtually indistinguishable after the painted finish is applied.

Finishes:

Wiping Stains (Dulcet Cherry):

Wood is pre-sanded, stained, sealed, and re-sanded using 220-280 grit paper prior to application of topcoat.

Stains are applied using a hand rubbed application. The process provides superior grain penetration of the finish material and a greater degree of depth.

Because wiping stains penetrate into the wood grain, end grain may stain and darker than other areas of the piece. This will not be considered defective.

Stained finishes are coated with a clear, conversion-varnish topcoat with a semi-gloss sheen. (Technical note: as of 8/1/2023 this has changed from a 40-degree sheen to a 30-degree sheen to match evolving industry norms.)

Natural (Refined Maple):

Wood is pre-sanded using 220-280 grit paper prior to application of topcoat.

Finished pieces are coated with a clear, conversion-varnish topcoat with a semi-gloss sheen. (Technical note: as of 8/1/2023 this has changed from a 40-degree sheen to a 30-degree sheen to match evolving industry norms.)

Paints (Snowbird White, Universal Grey)

Wood is pre-sanded, painted, re-sanded using 220-280 grit paper, and re-painted prior to application of topcoat

We use a catalyzed, opaque finish with a high-solids content with a low VOC content.

Painted finishes are coated with a clear, conversion-varnish topcoat with a matte/satin sheen. (Technical note: as of 8/1/2023 this is changing from a 15-degree sheen to a 10-degree sheen to match evolving industry norms.)

Due to the high-solids content, it is possible (though not typical) that certain characteristics such as joint fracturing will occur. Hairline seams may develop along joints on the face, back and edge profiles and can occur during normal handling or from the expansion and contraction of wood. Joint fracturing is not considered to be a defect.

Minor flaws such as dust particles, dimples and lint are more apparent with all opaque finishes than with stained finishes. The presence of small amounts of these minor occurrences will be considered acceptable.

Unfinished Products (Unfinished Maple):

Wood is pre-sanded using 180 grit paper prior to shipping.

Care and Cleaning of Finished Products:

We recommend periodic cleaning with a mild detergent and water solution to remove dirt, dust and grease that buildup with routine usage. Dampen a soft, non-abrasive cloth and wipe entire exterior surface of cabinetry and dry with a soft cloth. Never use a wet cloth that allows water to run down the cabinetry and always dry cabinetry immediately if water is spilled onto the surface.

Care should be taken not to use abrasive cleansers, ammonia or any other type of harsh chemical. These cleaning agents may cause discoloration, scratching, marring and dulling of the finish. We also discourage use of furniture polishes and waxes on finished cabinetry. Furniture polishes alter the original sheen level and may leave a film on the surface that attracts dust and dirt. These polishes may also cause an irregular or blotchy appearance because they are unable to stand up to many common kitchen stains.

Shipping:

Most often, our products will ship via FedEx Freight, though we employ other carriers as circumstances dictate. The products will be delivered to the address given at the time of the order according to the policies of the carrier. Often this means curbside delivery which leaves you, the customer, to carry the products into the house. (Cabinets will be individually boxed on skids. The shrink-wrap may be removed so that the boxes can be unloaded individually.)

A signature will be required at time of delivery for almost all orders.

Shipping is free to all locations within the 48 contiguous United States, except specific locations that require ferry transport or that are not accessible through typical delivery methods.

Orders typically ship within 15 business days* (excludes weekends and holidays). Orders ship from cities on or near the East Coast of the United States. Delivery time is subject to the carrier, but usually ranges from 1 to 3 business days to locations east of the Mississippi River or 3 to 6 business days to locations west of that.

Any change to the shipping address must be submitted to our Customer Service representative at least one business day before the order is due to ship. We will try to accommodate special shipping instructions, where feasible, if we receive the instructions at least one business day before the order is due to ship.

Any changes to the shipping address or any special instructions given after the order has shipped will be subject to fees from the freight company. Such fees will be charged directly to the recipient and may be significant. We urge you to get an estimate of the fees from the freight company before agreeing to any changes.

* Check the menu above for notices of any lead-time updates or warnings.

Reporting Problems:

Freight Damage

In all situations, if a shipment contains a damaged package or skid, the freight bill must be marked "Damaged" or "Subject to Inspection". Both the receiver and delivery person must sign the freight document. If the freight bill contains no notation of damage or appropriate signatures, the freight carrier will not honor the claim.

Report any obvious freight damage to The Cabinet Bar (support@thecabinetbar.com) immediately. Include your order number and clear photos of the damaged packaging and damaged product. Identify which specific parts are damaged. Claims for freight damage reported more than 12 days after receipt of the product may be denied.

Missing Products

Before reporting missing products, please check your shipment tracking number(s) to determine if some parts are still in transit. Note that you may have been given a master tracking number that contains several other numbers which may not all arrive on the same day. For large discrepancies, contact the freight company first to determine of skids or parts were left on the truck or in the depot.

After doing preliminary investigation with the freight company, report any missing products to The Cabinet Bar (support@thecabinetbar.com). Include your order number and a list of the missing parts. Claims for missing parts reported more than 12 days after receipt of the product may be denied.

Upon receiving a report of missing products, The Cabinet Bar will initiate an investigation at our shop and with the freight company. This may take up to three business days. If we concur that the product is missing due to an error by the shop or the freight company, we will expedite the production of replacements for the missing parts and ship them as soon as feasible.

Defective Products

Report any defective products to The Cabinet Bar (support@thecabinetbar.com) immediately. Include your order number and clear photos of the product in question. Identify which specific parts are defective and what the problems are. Claims for defective products reported more than 30 days after receipt of the product may be denied, though the reporting window will be extended in some circumstances.

If we concur that the product is defective, we will expedite the production of replacements for the bad parts and ship them as soon as feasible.
