Walnut Kitchen Cabinets: Deep, Warm Wood

Our catalog lists 205 door-and-color variants. Filtered for wood, 52 show up: 51 natural-wood variants plus one walnut. Better you hear that from us now than find out at the design desk. American black walnut heartwood runs chocolate to purple-brown with a straight, sometimes wavy grain, and if that's the look you want, here's what we know about it.

The wood filter in our catalog lists 52 variants, and exactly one is walnut. Those 52 spread across five door styles: shaker 31, slim shaker 6, raised panel 6, inset 5 and slab 4. Shaker leads by a wide margin.

Which door style and which line carry the walnut, we're not guessing here.

Slim shaker stiles and rails measure 0.60 inch on our lines. One warning on slab: our frameless slab line uses lacquered MDF-core doors on a ¾-inch engineered furniture board box. That isn't wood. We say so, and if you want a slab door in real wood, we name every part of it before you pay.

See the range on our slab, slim shaker, shaker and inset pages.

We price semi-custom and custom cabinetry per cabinet, not per linear foot, because cabinets differ too much to average. Real photos matter more than renders, and our project gallery is where finished kitchens live.

For context, HomeAdvisor's national figure puts inset doors at roughly 20% more than comparable overlay designs.

On our main lines the box is ½-inch plywood, shelves are ¾-inch plywood and drawer boxes are ⅝-inch solid wood.

We tell you which part is which, and we don't call MDF wood.

In our projects a plywood box comes out 10 to 15% more than the same kitchen with an MDF box. A customer who wants to save asks for the MDF. Mohsen, our founder, answers: "If you want a kitchen that lasts for years, do not buy cabinets with MDF boxes." On kitchens we've installed and serviced, MDF swells at the sink base and under the dishwasher. Plywood boxes installed years ago are still square and dry. More on that in our plywood vs MDF guide.

Our wood-family finishes include Natural Wood, Truffle Brown and Chocolate, among others.

We compare species on the wood species hub.

White quartz starts at about $49 per square foot installed within 100 miles of Alpharetta, and cabinets are quoted separately.

Countertops

Entry whites such as Sparkling White or White Linen run about $49 per square foot, with template, fabrication and install included at 3 cm. Most quartz is $53 to $60. Calacatta looks run $61 to $72. Natural stone, granite or quartzite, runs $47 to about $148. A sink cutout adds $113. Cabinet prices never include countertops; we quote cabinets and countertops separately. See our white quartz, quartzite and countertops pages.

Hardware

Pulls and knobs are on our hardware page.

Colors

About 8 of 10 of our kitchens include an island, so most people have a spot to try a second color. Start with two-tone, white or green, and see island cabinets.

Panels

Keeping it from feeling too dark

For context, under-cabinet lighting sits at 82% in NKBA's 2026 Kitchen Trends survey.

White oak was the finish in about 7 of 10 of our kitchens over the last year.

We carry one walnut variant among the 52 in our wood filter, so walnut is a small part of what we list.

For context, NKBA's 2026 Kitchen Trends survey of 634 respondents puts white oak first among woods at 51%, slab doors at 69% and minimalism at 60%.

A walnut order runs through five steps, and nothing goes into production until you've checked every dimension twice and signed.

1. Send photos from all sides, the ceiling height, wall lengths, and where the windows, plumbing, fridge and gas sit, so we can plan the layout.
2. Open the free 3D kitchen design on your phone and ask for changes by one message. It stays valid for 10 days.
3. Confirm the full design with dimensions, get the payment link with the specs, re-check and sign. After sign-off and payment there is no cancellation, return or exchange, because the cabinets are made per project.
4. Production time is quoted per project. Delivery usually comes within about 10 days of shipment, and we warn you in advance if anything changes.
5. Our crew installs within 100 miles of Alpharetta, about 3 to 5 working days for a standard 10x10 kitchen. We deliver anywhere in Georgia. Beyond our install zone we help you find an installer.
