Modern / Contemporary Shaker style cabinets are units that are uniquely simple yet attractive. Shaker style cabinets mirror the furniture designed by the Shakers, a religious sect that had guiding principles of simplicity, utility and honesty, who were extremely skilled craftsmen and carpenters. Their beliefs were reflected in the well-made furniture of minimalist designs. Shaker style cabinets have doors with recessed panels and minimal adornments and are great for both contemporary and modern transitional designs
