Commercial Cabinetry designed, built and installed for Manhattan — pre-war buildings that are never square and boards that decide the schedule. Our New York showroom is on Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn, a straightforward run from anywhere in the borough.
A New York fit-out is a logistics exercise with joinery attached. Loading windows, freight lifts, overnight working hours, building insurance requirements and a landlord's rules all shape what can be built and when it can be installed. We shop-fabricate as much as possible and deliver in pieces that fit the lift, because the alternative is discovering on site that the counter does not go round the corner.
Co-op and condo boards run the job. Alteration agreements, insurance certificates, approved contractors, permitted work hours, elevator bookings and a building engineer signing off — all of it precedes the first delivery, and none of it is negotiable. We build the schedule around the building's rules.
Everything has to fit a passenger or service lift and turn in a pre-war corridor. Cabinets are sized to be carried, and anything that will not fit is engineered to assemble on site.
Pre-war apartments are out of square, out of plumb and rarely level. Every run is templated on site, scribes are drawn in from the start, and nothing is fabricated off a plan alone.
This is the constant. Wherever the job is, a commercial cabinetry from us is put together this way.
Commercial joinery gets touched by hundreds of people a week and cleaned every night, so it is specified for wear first. We build reception desks, retail fixtures, office and hospitality joinery to commercial-grade finishes with edges detailed to survive trolleys, bags and chairs — and we work to a programme, because a fit-out has a trading date.
Finishes, edges and hardware chosen for daily abuse and nightly cleaning rather than for a domestic duty cycle.
Shop-fabricated, delivered flat where it helps, and installed in the window the site actually has — including overnight.
For a rollout, the joinery is drawn as a kit of parts so the second store costs less than the first and looks like its sibling.

We work throughout Manhattan, including the Upper East Side, Tribeca, the West Village, the Upper West Side and Chelsea. The housing here is pre-war co-ops and condominiums, converted loft buildings downtown, and townhouses across the older districts, and the cabinetry is specified for it rather than to a national standard.
Our New York showroom is on Eastern Parkway in Brooklyn, a straightforward run from anywhere in the borough. The showroom is at 1200 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn. Come and see the materials in person, or send the drawings and we will price the job room by room.
Every project is photographed room by room with the materials and the detailing listed, so you can see how a job like this is actually put together before you commit to one.

You can also search every finish we specify and every appliance we design around.
One shop draws, finishes and installs all of it, which is why the closet matches the kitchen and there is one number to call when something needs adjusting.
