        Since your cabinets are overlay. what is the amount at the top to attach crown molding? Also i saw you have stackable cabinets with swing up doors for appliance garages but my wife wants one that swings up and back which would require an inset door. can you make a stackable cabinet that has inset doors while leaving all other overlay?

          Unlike face frame cabinets, the crown molding will not rest on or attach to the top rail, since our cabinets do not have a top rail.

          The crown molding attaches to an L-shaped backer. This backer is separate from both the cabinet and the crown molding. It allows you to pull the crown forward slightly and gives the scribe molding a clean place to terminate.

          We recommend pulling the backer forward by about 1/4″ to 3/8″ to create the separation needed for the transition to look correct.

          See below for pictures showing the backer and crown molding as separate pieces attached to the top of the cabinet case. This setup does not interfere with the cabinet doors at all.

          Note we have a recommended ceiling height to crown package height for easy reference as well.
