Micro White Shaker Cabinets
Micro White is our bright white on a narrower door. The stile and rail — the frame around the recessed panel — is slimmer than a standard shaker, which pulls the whole door toward modern while keeping the shaker profile clients already know they like.

Why the Narrower Frame Matters
It is the easiest way to modernize a kitchen without going to a slab or frameless door. A traditional shaker reads as classic. A micro shaker reads as current. The construction, the finish and the hardware are identical — the only thing that changed is the width of the frame, and that alone is enough to shift how the whole run looks.
The effect is strongest on long runs and on tall doors, where the thinner frame keeps the door from looking heavy.

Common Questions
What is the difference between Micro White and White Shaker?
1
Same white, same construction. Micro White has a narrower frame around the recessed panel, which gives it a tighter, more modern line. Standard White Shaker has the traditional wider frame.
Can I use micro shaker doors with standard shaker in one kitchen?
2
We would not. The frame widths do not match, and side by side the mismatch looks like a mistake rather than a choice. Pick one door profile and change the color instead.
Is a micro shaker harder to clean?
3
No. Less frame means slightly less ledge for dust, if anything. It wipes down the same as any painted door.
