Corner Blocks
Corner blocks 3/4″ plywood are used for bracing all base cabinets. Corner blocks are also used for securing countertops to cabinets. A full stretcher is used on larger cabinets.
Drawer Construction
All drawers use four sided dove-tailed construction and a captive dado joint to securely hold the drawer bottom in all four sides.
Shelves

Applied Ends
Applied ends are available as an option as with many of our competitors. The difference is Wolter’s Custom Cabinets builds the applied ends the same way it builds the front of the cabinet, with a full solid wood face frame so it is not just a fake door nailed onto the side of the cabinet.
