Our cabinets represent the careful selection of woods, melamine laminate, and Thermo Foil. While every effort is made to match wood-grain as closely as possible, no two pieces of wood are exactly alike, even from the same tree. These differences in color and grain mean that each piece will respond differently to the finishing materials used. For example, closed-grain woods absorb less and will vary in color from more open-grained pieces from the very same tree. It's these variations that contribute to the beauty and distinction of quality wood products. However, exposure to sunlight, smoke, and chemicals may cause some materials to fade or vary from their original color over time.

This is why cabinets or accessories added at a later date may not exactly match cabinets installed now. For the same reasons, door samples or displays may not represent the exact color of cabinets received at the time of shipment. You should also read all cleaning-agent instructions carefully before application.

Because of these natural and environmental factors, you'll understand why American Woodmark or your home center cannot be responsible for naturally occurring changes experienced by the wood in your cabinets.

So enjoy the character of your American Woodmark cabinets. They are truly unique. And with proper care, they will age beautifully for years to come. Photography is for illustration purposes only, and actual colors may vary slightly due to the printing process. For actual color selections, please consult your American Woodmark retailer. American Woodmark also reserves the right to change or modify cabinets as part of its ongoing product development.
