Crystal Kitchen Cabinets

More from the Kitchen Remodeling Gallery

In 1947, Minneapolis cabinetmaker Tom Hammer started building custom cabinets for the local building trade in his garage workshop. Two years later, in the first of what would be many expansions, he moved the company to the neighboring town of Crystal, MN, and named it after the town.

Decades later, Crystal, still a Minnesota family business, is renowned for premium custom cabinetry made of furniture-grade materials: hardwoods including maple, cherry and oak; dozens of finishes including paint, stain, and distressed; and an infinite range of door styles that let the homeowner choose just the right components for the perfect look. If your plans call for metal finishes or exotic veneers, Crystal has those too. Crystal cabinets are built to last for generations and add beauty to your home every day.

In recent years, Crystal has also been very active in developing and supporting environmentally safe practices, in its business and in its products. The company helped develop the Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association's new Environment Stewardship Program, and recently announced its Green Core product line, which offers eco-friendly options in everything from plywood components to wood finishes. Crystal also offers Lyptus, a fast-growing sustainable hardwood from South America, as an alternative to endangered woods from the rainforest.

Crystal's product offerings include three lines of cabinetry. Traditional Crystal is the top of the line, offering a wealth of options in styles, materials and custom construction. The recently introduced Keyline line takes the most popular elements of the Crystal line and adapts them to more budget-priced construction techniques without sacrificing overall quality. Finally, the Quest line offers a sleek, seamless look, with no visible frames; this allows the cabinet doors to present a continuous surface, and is especially well suited to modern designs.

Crystal cabinets are pricier than some of the other options, but 60 years of happy customers make the case for their being a great investment. When your new kitchen has to be just perfect, Crystal should definitely be on your short list of options.
