Classic Shaker

Straight rails and stiles frame a recessed center panel. The broader frame gives the door a clear outline.

Slim Shaker

A narrower frame leaves more of the center panel visible. Compare a full-size sample alongside the drawer front to see how the proportions work at both sizes.

Double Shaker

A stepped inner edge adds a second line around the recessed panel. View a sample under side lighting to see how the additional detail catches light.
