Does anyone have Medallion cabinets in Maple Biscotti?

2 months ago

Would love to see this in a full kitchen before committing to the color. Deciding between this and Cherry in cappuccino stain. Thanks!

I do, I do! Mine are Yorktowne but its the same brand under different names. We went with the Maple Biscotti for everything except our island which is Maple Smoke. We are mid renovation so not everything is finished yet

I debated getting the Cherry Cappuchino but my husband did not like the grain in the wood. I agree with him now, the maple is so subtle snd understated. I was also told that the cherry would possibly darken over time.

these photos were taken at night but our kitchen is well lit so i think the biscotti color is accurate. the smoke color is a little purple in the photo but in person more of a deep brown with a hint of gray

Does anyone have/had Alder cabinets? Hickory?!
Q
Comments (23)
I am surprised that no one else has found that the alder cabinets are better on the budget than other wood species. Could this be a regional phenomenon? When I was first pricing cabinets, I found across several different cabinet lines that there was a 15-25% savings when using alder instead of cherry and approximately a 10% savings over maple. We were only pricing all-plywood construction so that may have influenced the price differentials somewhat. These prices were not for knotty alder but the regular alder. BTW, all of the cabinets above look beautiful! And, for the OP- $8K is not a lot to outfit the entire house in cabinetry...it goes fast!!! It sounds as if you rec'd a prelim bid from HD, so maybe you'll end up okay. But, add in any crown molding, rope molding, corbels, light rails, bump outs, better constructed boxes/doors, etc., and you'll be sunk....

Does anyone have white Ultracraft cabinets?

Very disappointed with our ours. White uppers, what was sold as maple (but is actually a veneer) lowers. “Wood” finishes don’t match from one cabinet front to another. The finish is easily damaged on the “wood“ and the white looks cheap. Not at all equivalent to the price they charge. Our contractor: ”I don’t understand - this is supposed to be a high quality product.”

Thank you everyone- your kitchens are lovely! I can only hope mine turns out as nice when it is finally finished. Vjrnts: Your soapstone is so cool- what type is that? My cabs are maple but a similar shade so it really gave me an idea of what it would look like. Bunglogirl: Thanks for the pic-- I have the same sink - it looks really nice with the tile. Sarchlos-remoodeler: if you can dig up that pic it would be greatly appreciated- sounds pretty. Thank you all.

Anyone have Schuler Maple Cabinetry in Cappuccino stain?

Hi Sofia, Looks like you're quite a bit ahead of us. Insulation on our house is this week, and plaster should start next week (fingers crossed!) Cabinets are not in yet, but won't be installed until next month sometime anyway. The perimeter cabinets are Medallion White Icing and the island is Medallion Oak Cappuccino. I believe Medallion and Schular are sister companies? Our floors are white oak, but I am not at all close to picking out stain color. My husband wants darker than the island, I want lighter. We'll see!

Sure! We wanted a gray thinking it would be better for a high traffic area, and I liked the color variation in this tile we found at ProSource. It’s made by Panaria and we selected the ”griege range” color due to the hint of brown / warm tones in it.

Kathleen - Are you still trying to decide between Medallion/Schuler in Maple Biscotti and Cherry Cappuccino?

I am interested in these two choices, as well. I have found Cherry Cappuccino photos in other posts. A third choice I like is Cherry Biscotti, but cannot find any photos of Cherry Biscotti.

CC - I love your cabinet photos showing Yorktowne (Medallion/Schuler) in Maple Biscotti. Could you please post photos with the lights turned off/with natural daylight? I also checked out the link you posted showing a Maple Biscotti island...very helpful.

The third wood/stain photo I am searching for (Cherry Biscotti) eludes me. I have sample size pieces of wood (ordered online through Schuler $3 each) of all three of these cabinet wood/stains. They are fairly small 3" x 4" ? It would be beneficial to see a kitchen photo.

The samples measure about 5" x 5". The maple wood with Biscotti stain is lighter than the Cherry wood with Biscotti stain. Image below is from the Schuler web site.
