What makes Wood-Mode unique is the people and the time-honored techniques they infuse in every detail throughout the cabinet’s journey from raw wood to polished furniture finish.
As a family-owned business, the American-made Wood-Mode brand is carefully managed to utilize benefits of modern technology while preserving the time-honored techniques. These values preserve the art of the craft without compromising speed or efficiency over craftsmanship.
It’s the human touch that makes Wood-Mode uniquely beautiful and hand made.
FYI: a little fun piece of information – The physically distressed “burnished cherry” finish goes through 25 steps before leaving the factory. That’s what makes Wood-Mode an outstanding, high-quality product that lasts.
