Oak kitchen cabinets by door style and line

Oak has an open grain. It shows through every finish. This page covers red and plain oak: 13 finishes on shaker, slim shaker, inset and raised panel doors across four lines. White oak has its own page.

Our catalog lists 13 oak door-and-finish variants, all framed: 6 shaker, 3 slim shaker, 2 inset and 2 raised panel. By line that's 5 pre-assembled, 4 stock, 2 RTA and 2 semi-custom.

Door styleOak variants
Shaker6
Slim shaker3
Inset2
Raised panel2

Slim shaker stiles and rails measure 0.60 inch, so it reads more modern. Our framed lines are full overlay, while inset sits flush inside the frame. Pick the door for your kitchen design first, then the line by budget.

Oak finishes: natural wood or stained?

Our catalog lists 13 oak finish names, all in the natural-wood family, including Classic Oak, Cotton Oak, Inset Hazelnut Oak, Luna Desert Oak, Luxe Desert Oak, Luxe Canyon Oak, Koville Barley Oak, Newtone Oak, Slim Shaker Oak and Shaker Cotton Oak.

Open grain means stain settles into the pores, so the grain stays visible in every tone.

Construction depends on the line. On our stained lines the stiles and rails are solid wood and the center panel is plywood or MDF. MDF is pressed fiber, not wood. Main lines have a ½ inch plywood box, ¾ inch plywood adjustable shelves for storage and ⅝ inch solid wood dovetail drawers. See plywood vs MDF and natural wood colors.

Red oak vs white oak, walnut and maple

About 7 of 10 of our kitchens last year used white oak, a different oak from the red or plain oak on this page.

WoodGrain and tone
Oak (red or plain)Pronounced open grain
White oakStraight open grain, neutral golden-beige
WalnutRich chocolate brown, straight grain
MapleMinimal grain, the usual choice for painted doors

Red oak carries more pink and yellow in its tone than white oak.

What do oak kitchen cabinets cost?

Price follows the line, not the wood: stock 10x10 cabinets start at $1,842, pre-assembled at $2,859 and semi-custom at $1,500.

Each range covers every finish in the line, oak included, because color doesn't change the price inside a line. Cabinets only: assembly, installation and delivery are extra. RTA and stock assembly is $38 per base, wall or vanity cabinet and $75 per tall. Our crew's installation labor on a typical 10x10 runs about $1,920 to $2,480 within 100 miles of Alpharetta.

None of the 13 oak variants sits in our custom cabinets line.

Oak kitchen cabinet questions

Is oak a good choice for kitchen cabinets?
Oak is a hardwood with a pronounced open grain, offered in 13 finishes in our catalog. Stained lines have solid wood stiles and rails, and main lines have a ½ inch plywood box. Pick it for the grain, then match the line to your budget.
Are oak cabinets expensive?
Price follows the line, not the oak: 10x10 cabinets only run from $1,842 in the stock line to $9,384 in pre-assembled, and color doesn't change the price inside a line. Semi-custom starts at $1,500.
Are oak cabinets still in style?
NKBA's 2026 trends survey put white oak first among woods at 51% of 634 respondents, and about 7 of 10 of our kitchens last year used white oak. Red or plain oak has a more open grain. Pick it for the grain, not for a trend.
What is the difference between white oak and red oak cabinets?
Red oak carries more pink and yellow in its tone, while white oak stays a neutral golden-beige. In our catalog, red or plain oak has 13 variants and white oak has 2: Inset White Oak and Slim White Oak. White oak has its own page.
Which oak door style should I choose?
Shaker is the largest group in our oak catalog, with 6 of 13 variants. Slim shaker, with 0.60 inch stiles and rails, reads more modern, and inset (2 variants) sits flush in the frame. The line sets the price.
Do you paint or reface oak cabinets?
No, we don't offer cabinet painting or refacing. We replace the kitchen with new cabinets built from a free 3D design. Send photos from all sides, ceiling height and wall lengths, and ask for changes by one message.
