Brookhaven offers many of the characteristics associated with Wood-Mod: dovetail drawers, soft-close, and a wide range of door styles and finishes.

Brookhaven I and Brookhaven II

Brookhaven I

Brookhaven I is a very practical kitchen renovation product. It has engineered cabinet construction, full overlay doors, dovetailed drawer boxes and soft close hardware. It suits me, the owner, who wants a good quality cabinet range without the full breadth of the premium Wood-Mode range.

Brookhaven II

Brookhaven II takes the design possibilities further with solid wood front frames, more options in the way it’s constructed and greater flexibility in terms of traditional cabinetry details. Brookhaven II is also capable of selected partial overlay and flush inset door configurations.

Both lines offer a range of wood species and finishes, so designers can create a highly individual kitchen look.
