  • Barker vs City: Cherry slab (plywood veneer) doors & drawer fronts

    Posted by Nicolas on February 23, 2026 at 10:37 am

    Hi Chad,
    What is the difference between Barker and City slab doors/drawer fronts when ordered as cherry plywood veneer (raw/unfinished)?

    And I want the top drawer front to be the same construction and look as the rest of my slab doors/drawer fronts (i.e., slab/flat cherry veneer unfinished).
    Which option should I select to keep everything matching ?
    – Slab/Flat (outside edge detail matches door style)
    – Panelized (5-piece drawer/false front)

    Thanks a lot for any clarification.

    The cherry slab plywood doors and drawer fronts are exactly the same between CityCabinets.com and BarkerCabinets.com. We use the same plywood, edge banding, and finishes for both lines. The differences between City and Barker come down to the interior cabinet cases, as well as the drawer box materials and finishing.

    To ensure the lower drawer fronts match to the slab plywood, simply select the “slab plywood” door style for that cabinet. Disregard the “panelized” option, as that only applies to frame-and-panel door styles such as Shaker.
