Knotty Alder cabinets are a very popular wood choice. Knotty alder cabinets finish beautifully. Knotty alder does not evolve in color or darken when exposed to light or heat as other woods do, and takes stains and other finishes well. Knotty alder allows for some natural characteristics and variation in color which adds contrast to a room’s custom cabinets. Knotty alder cabinets offer great finishing touches to your new home or remodel project.
