Oak Kitchen Cabinets: 13 Finishes, Door Styles and Prices
Open grain that shows through every stain. Shaker and slab doors by line.
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 style | Oak variants |
|---|---|
| Shaker | 6 |
| Slim shaker | 3 |
| Inset | 2 |
| Raised panel | 2 |
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.
| Wood | Grain and tone |
|---|---|
| Oak (red or plain) | Pronounced open grain |
| White oak | Straight open grain, neutral golden-beige |
| Walnut | Rich chocolate brown, straight grain |
| Maple | Minimal 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.
| Line | Per cabinet from | 10x10, cabinets only | Oak variants |
|---|---|---|---|
| RTA | Base $87, wall $43 | $1,842 to $4,882 | 2 |
| Stock | Base $87, wall $46 | $1,842 to $2,143 | 4 |
| Pre-assembled | Base $101, wall $72 | $2,859 to $9,384 | 5 |
| Semi-custom | From about $150 | From $1,500 | 2 |
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.
Replacing an older honey oak kitchen
Cabinet painting and refacing aren't services we offer, so an older honey oak kitchen gets replaced with new cabinets. Homeowners start with free 3D designs drawn from photos, then choose from the 13 oak finish names or another wood. It's a kitchen renovation, not a refinish. See kitchen remodeling for a full kitchen remodel.
