We take the definition of quality very seriously here at Kitchen World. In fact, we built our reputation on it. With respect to cupboards, we have built relationships with cabinet manufacturers that share our values. Our cabinetry falls into 3 quality classifications:

1. "Forest to Home": Wellborn Cabinetry

Wellborn Cabinetry combines the "hands-on" control and care of a small mill with an oven baked finish ... and smart pricing.

2. Semi-Custom: HomeCrest Cabinetry

Several hundred thousand Western New Yorkers have HomeCrest Cabinetry in their homes and they couldn’t be happier.
“Fit and finish” is usually excellent and the long-term durability of the product is way above par for the price range. Ask one of our Kitchen Specialists to explain how the sturdy cabinet box, solid face frames, and intricate mitre joints are engineered to be superior.
Our rate of repeat business with HomeCrest Cabinetry is phenomenal.

3. Furniture Grade: Candlelight Cabinetry

Pinpoint your design theme as you select from over 80 door styles, all available in your choice of 10 wood species and over 200 finish options!
Candlelight uses Select Grade Hardwoods- choosing the best part of the tree with the fewest imperfections and most attractive grains.
Every Candlelight cabinet is hand-sanded and hand-wiped before multiple coats of topcoat conversion varnish are applied. Take the “touch test” and you will feel the difference.
Candlelight is built with heavier construction and with unrivaled “Signature Drawers” so they will last for generations of enjoyment.
Candlelight Cabinetry is handmade in Lockport, NY, employing 218 workers with an economic impact of 600 jobs. 94% of the components are made in the US and most of them are sourced in NY, PA, and Canada.
Go green! Candlelight started the first cabinet company tree planting program in 1990- since then they have arranged for over 30,000 trees to be planted. They also have a state of the art distillery to reclaim up to 80% of their paint and overspray. It doesn’t get any greener than that.

As with other durable goods, the “grade” of the cabinet does affect every aspect of the product. However, every cabinet shop we work with must pass the following 3 point test:

The back of the cabinet must be a solid ½” thick and/or rabbited in place; and the frames of the cabinets must be fastened with a steel screw as opposed to relying solely on an “old fashioned” wood and glue adhesion
The cabinets must be assembled and finished as close to our Williamsville showroom as possible. At least 70% of the components must be sourced in the US and manufactured in the “greenest” manner possible.
We will only work with cabinet shops that use an oil based “catalyzed conversion varnish” top coat over their stains, with the same chemistry mixed into the painted finishes. Oil based finish must be oven cured and prolongs the life of the cabinetry because it is more durable. Please make an appointment to speak with one of our kitchen specialists about painted cabinetry considerations.
