Maui Cabinets Construction Specs: Full Overlay, Plywood Box & Dovetail Drawer Details

View fullsize

When choosing RTA cabinets, construction matters more than color or door style. Below are the exact build specifications for the Maui cabinet line, including door thickness, face frame dimensions, drawer construction, cabinet box materials, and hardware ratings.

This is a technical breakdown of how Maui cabinets are built.

Door Construction

Maui cabinets feature 3/4" thick 5-piece cope-and-stick shaker doors.

Stained and Maui painted doors use solid birch construction with a 2-3/4" wide solid wood frame and a 1/4" veneered center panel.

Other painted lines (non-Maui) use 5-piece HDF cope-and-stick construction with a 2-3/4" wide frame and a 1/4" HDF center panel.

The full overlay design provides minimal face frame exposure for a clean, balanced shaker look.

Face Frame Construction

Maui cabinets use face frame construction, not frameless.

• 3/4" thick x 1-1/2" wide solid wood face frame
• Full overlay door configuration

This structure provides rigidity while maintaining a traditional cabinet build style.

Cabinet Box Construction

Maui cabinets use all plywood cabinet construction.

• Plywood sides and structural components
• QuickBuild® dovetail / pocket screw assembly system
• 3/4" thick solid wood corner braces
• 4-1/2" high integrated toe kick

The cabinet interior is UV-coated birch plywood for a clean, durable finish.

There is no particle board used in the cabinet box structure.

Drawer Box Construction

Drawer boxes are hardwood birch with dovetail joinery.

• Solid hardwood birch drawer sides
• Dovetail construction front and rear
• UV finished interior

This construction method increases durability under daily kitchen use.

Drawer Slides

Maui cabinets include premium undermount soft-close slides.

• Full extension
• 100 lb dynamic weight rating
• Adjustable undermount system
• Soft-close integrated

The full extension design allows complete drawer access without obstruction.

Hinges

• 6-way adjustable concealed hinges
• Soft-close integrated

The hinge system allows precise door alignment and long-term adjustability.

Shelving

• 3/4" thick veneered plywood adjustable shelves
• Half-depth shelves in base cabinets
• 5 mm spoon pins included

The thicker shelving provides improved load support compared to thinner particle alternatives.

Finish Options

Maui cabinets are available in paint grade and stain grade finishes.

Available finishes include:

• Stained Slate
• Painted Pebble Grey
• Painted Polar White

Summary

Maui cabinets combine 3/4" solid wood shaker doors, full overlay face frame construction, all plywood cabinet boxes, hardwood dovetail drawer boxes, and premium soft-close hardware.
