Quick Answer: Framed vs. Frameless Cabinets

Framed cabinets have a face frame attached to the front of the cabinet box. Frameless cabinets eliminate that frame and attach doors directly to the cabinet sides.

For wholesale buyers, the difference affects more than appearance. It can influence installation, usable cabinet openings, hardware, replacement parts, inventory strategy, and which customer segments a product line serves best.
