Hickory Kitchen Cabinets

If you want your kitchen to make a dramatic statement, consider hickory. Its distinctive look will ensure that your cabinets are one-of-a-kind. Although it comes with a slightly higher price tag than other cabinet materials, hickory’s durability makes it well worth the investment. Here are the facts.

Costs

New kitchen cabinets typically cost from $4,000 to $5,000 or more if they are custom-built. The total price depends on the cost of labor, the size of your kitchen and materials used.

Pros

From pale off-white sapwood to reddish-brown heartwood, hickory has naturally beautiful patterns.
Perfect for kitchens with a rustic or country theme, but can achieve a modern look as well.
Can be stained to a darker color or bleached to a lighter color.

Cons

Priced higher than other cabinet materials, such as oak.
Like other wood cabinets, hickory requires regular maintenance.

Durability

If sealed to lock out moisture, hickory is a great choice for high-traffic kitchens. It’s considered to be one of the heaviest, hardest and strongest commercial woods available on the market today.

Maintenance

Keep your hickory cabinets looking great by wiping all spills and chemicals right away. Here’s the basic maintenance needed:

  1. Wipe down cabinets with a soft dry cloth.
  2. Make a mixture of diluted soap and water (never ammonia or other cleaning chemicals), and wash cabinets with a clean sponge.
  3. Rinse with water.
  4. Wipe dry with a soft dry cloth immediately.
