Comparison of Premium and Luxury Levels

Two Quality Levels: Luxury and Premium

Luxury All Wood Cabinetry

Our Luxury Series combines the finest in panel materials, drawers & glides and doors & finishes for a supreme quality experience

Premium Melamine Cabinetry

Our Premium Series offers superior value, using upgraded materials and features not typically found in lower price point cabinetry

Luxury Specifications

Our Luxury Product series features the best in cabinetry. We start by using all plywood construction, with beautiful finishes protected by a UV topcoat. We add high end dovetail drawers with soft closing glides, and we complete the cabinet with premium, wood doors with easy adjusting, soft closing hinges. Typically bundled with Shaker, Windsor and Hartford door styles.

Premium Specifications

Our Premium cabinet series represents excellent quality at a lower price point. The melamine box is tough and durable, with surfaces that will not absorb water. Drawers are made from plywood or wood and are paired with full extensions ball bearing glides at no extra charge. Typically bundled with Katella, Virginia and Capistrano door styles

Panels
Product Level	Core Material Panels and Shelves Surface Construction
Arcadia Luxury	All Plywood 1/2" and 3/4" UV Coated Veneer 4 sided dado
Arcadia Premium	Particle Board 1/2" and 3/4" Melamine Same
Comments	The Luxury level cabinet features all plywood construction, which is stronger, lighter, easier to cut, resists swelling, can handle 30% more weight and is harder to damage in shipping, installation and use. Both UV and melamine surfaces are tough and durable, but plywood ends match wood doors better.
Drawer Boxes
Product Level	Joint Slide Material Bottom Material	Arcadia Luxury	Dovetailed and Glued Finger joint natural birch 3/8" plywood	Arcadia Premium	Doweled and Glued 1/2" plywood or wood 1/4" plywood	Comments	The Luxury series features dovetail drawers, widely recognized as the best joinery method for drawer durability. The thicker bottom easily handles heavier loads, and the natural birch finish material is beatiful.
Glides
Product Level	Glide System	Arcadia Luxury	Undermount, soft close, full extension, concealed	Arcadia Premium	Side mount, steel ball bearing, full extension	Comments	While ball bearing glides are an excellent glide and a step up from economy glides, the Luxury series glide system brings convenience to your most used kitchen component. The glides open completely and catch slammed drawers softly before closing.
Frames
Product Level	Frame Style Drawer Dividers Overlay/Reveal	Arcadia Luxury	Full Access (no dividers) None Full (<1/4" reveal)	Arcadia Premium	Full Access (no dividers) None Full (<1/4" reveal)	Comments	Faceframes provide stability and prevent panels from sagging. Because we have made our drawer fronts a little taller, we avoid dividers, so you can put bigger items into your drawers and not catch them when opening a drawer.
Doors

The wider profiles and thicker center panels provide long lasting beauty for your home and the soft close hinges gently catch and quietly close.
