Raised Panel Kitchen Cabinets: The Traditional Door

Raised panel cabinets have a five-piece door: a center panel that sits raised above the stiles and rails, usually with a shaped edge. It suits classic rooms with heavy trim and crown molding. Traditional house, traditional door. In our catalog it comes in 20 door-and-color variants, mostly natural wood and gray, on our stock and pre-assembled lines.

Natural wood is the biggest group: 6 of the 20 variants, with gray next at 5. Warm wood and a soft gray both suit a traditional room.

All 20 are framed with full overlay doors. Stained lines use solid wood stiles and rails. Painted framed lines use solid wood or HDF stiles and rails with an MDF center panel. Two of the variants are oak, see our oak page.

All of these finishes are in our catalog.

Raised panel is one of 5 door styles we offer, next to shaker, slim shaker, slab and inset.

For context, HomeAdvisor puts inset doors at roughly 20% more than a comparable overlay design. Our raised panel doors are full overlay.

Our take: in a traditional house raised panel looks right. For almost anywhere else, shaker is the safer pick. Homeowners on a tight budget should start with the stock line.

Raised panel in our catalog sits on two lines: stock, where a 10x10 kitchen starts at $1,842, and pre-assembled, from $2,859. Both are cabinets only. Assembly, installation and delivery are extra.

Those ranges cover the styles priced on each line, not only raised panel. Assembly on stock is $38 per base or wall cabinet. Lead time is quoted per project.

How much do raised panel cabinets cost?

Raised panel is priced by line, not by door: a 10x10 has a median of $1,859 on the stock line and $5,691 on the pre-assembled line, cabinets only. For context, Angi puts national stock cabinets at $100 to $300 per linear foot.

• Painted: solid wood or HDF stiles and rails, MDF center panel.
• Stained: solid wood stiles and rails, plywood or MDF center panel.
• The box depends on the line. It is a ½-inch plywood box on our main lines. A plywood box usually runs 10 to 15% more than MDF in our projects, and we recommend plywood. See plywood vs MDF.

Semi-custom and custom cabinetry start from about $150 per cabinet. If you want custom cabinets with a raised panel door we don't list, ask our designers what that line can build.

Crown molding costs $60 per piece to install with our crew, and on a raised panel kitchen it does a lot of the work. We sell cabinets and countertops together.

Countertops

Quartz installed starts at $49 per square foot and most levels run to $72. Natural stone, granite or quartzite, runs $47 to $148 installed. Both include template, fabrication and install within 100 miles of Alpharetta. See white quartz and granite.

Hardware and trim

Pick hardware after you see the door in 3D. Our crew installs pulls and knobs at $200 per project and light rail at $20. More on cabinet hardware.

Layout and storage

About 8 of 10 of our kitchens include an island. A wood island with a gray perimeter works. See two-tone and island cabinets.

NKBA's 2026 Kitchen Trends report puts slab doors at 69% and white oak as the top wood at 51%, so raised panel does not lead the trend. It is not outdated either.

For a traditional house, a kitchen renovation that matches existing trim and neighboring rooms still wants this door. The shift is toward quieter doors and warm natural wood. Last year white oak was the finish in about 7 of 10 of our kitchens. Want less detail? See shaker or natural wood.
