    What Shaker cabinets look like can be summed up with the word “box-like.” The doors on Shaker cabinetry have a standard rectangular shape and four defined squared-off corners. What separates them from traditional cabinets is the inset center panel that adds dimension to their appearance. While the “Shaker style” label is today given to many plain, simple wooden pieces, it should also denote superior construction and solid materials. Authentic Shaker cabinets were painstakingly crafted from woods like maple and cherry using traditional methods such as mortise-and-tenon and dovetail joinery and lathe turning.
