Since wood is a product of nature, the color of oak ranges from light tan to reddish brown. Any variation is due to natural characteristics found in our lighter wood-tone finishes. Grain variations and mineral streaks contribute to the inherent beauty of each cabinet.

Since no two trees are alike, true hardwood can be expected to have a variety of colors and grain textures. The finished look of fine cabinetry owes much of its' charm to these variations in color tone and grain characteristics. Because these variations are truly the natural beauty of hardwood, unusual or wild grain patterns are not considered as imperfections and will not constitute replacement, nor will Baker Road assume responsibility for variations in color tone and graining between these samples and a completed cabinet. No special emphasis will be made to select doors and drawers to match one another.


All structural case components are fabricated from 3/4" thick,  Performance Core Engineered Plywood.  All doors, drawer fronts and trim are cut from solid, kiln-dried northern red oak, cherry and hard maple.  All drawer boxes are constructed of 12mm thick, 9-ply solid birch plywood, free from all voids.

The performance core plywood allows us to manufacture a product with a smoother finish, flatter panels, even stronger construction, completely void and formaldehyde free.

  • Stronger than traditional plywood, MOE of 862 vs. 660 for
    plywood, reducing or eliminating warped shelves and bridges.
  • Virtually the same weight as traditional veneer core plywood.
  • Zero formaldehyde, meets 2009 CARB requirements.
  • Zero core defects such as voids, waves, and sand throughs.
  • Superior screw holding in both face and edge.

All joints are assembled with PVA glue and 8mm X 30 mm birch multi-grooved dowel pins. All exterior edges are rounded to a 1/2" radius. Top, sides, drawer panel, and modesty panels are all 3/4" thick red oak.


All drawers are constructed using a glued, bore and dowel joint. Drawer bottoms are 1/4" birch or maple plywood and grooved in on four sides. Box drawers run on powder-coated European soft roller drawer slides with 75 lb. capacity. File drawers use Accuride full extension ball-bearing slides with a 75 lb.rating. Knee space pencil drawer is equipped with a lock.
