We Offer More Than Just Cabinets

Custom Cabinetry - it’s not the only thing we do!

There’s a lot more to custom cabinetry than the building and installation of cabinets for a kitchen, bathroom, or otherwise. In fact, working on specially-designed woodworking projects is a fun challenge for our team to complete!

Bars, Home Offices, and Fireplace Surrounds

These days, most houses are the same and include the amenities that we’d expect them to have. Why not set yours apart?

Easy and Innovative Ways to Organize

Another added piece of customized furniture that brings the ‘wow’ factor to a home is shelving for specific areas, or detailed features like this wine holder that has been built into the side of a kitchen counter. This elegant display pairs with the glasses and bottles it holds. The added drawers and space on either side provide extra room for glassware so you can keep a neat kitchen.

Other areas perfect for adding shelving or cupboards are small in-the-wall spaces like a hutch shelving arrangement. Need a more organized space for your electronics? Try an entertainment center for your living room. If you see potential in an area of your home that you’d like to consider adding specialized woodworking to, Schjenken Cabinets are your guys!

Exactly What You Need; Exactly How You Want It

Homes aren’t the only place in need of custom cabinetry and woodwork, take for instance the Northstar Sports Center in Alexandria, MN. This project was unique because it included a fully woodworked locker room, specifically catered to housing hockey players and their equipment.

With our CNC Machine, we were able to produce customized sign etching so each locker area was marked with Northstar’s school logo. This logo was also etched and used for a custom wall that was built with wooden pegs which can be used to store hockey sticks when they aren’t in play.

One of the coolest features of these designs were the metal hooks for players to hang their skates safely at the base of each locker. The bottom areas of the lockers also include a built-in bench so players can sit comfortably when getting ready.

As you can see, no matter what you’re looking for, whether it’s something you’ve seen before or only imagined, working with our team at Schjenken Cabinets gives you the control with creative designs and expert service so you don’t have to worry about the final product.
