bespoke slab front cabinets for your home & shop space
thoughtfully designed & manufactured on fidalgo island, wa.
what,
why,
how
a little background
We are inspired by the things we use and see every day- by their design, functionality, sustainability, and durability. We are committed to being a part of the local economy and community, and have a passion to bring our locally made goods to you.
We specialize in frameless slab front cabinetry using only FSC certified plywood, and offer finishes derived from natural waxes and oils.
We find so much joy in the creative process of designing something for and with someone else. Our best work and most innovative ideas are born of our custom projects with our clients. It's always something new!
We hope you'll start a conversation with us the next time you are interested in outfitting your new kitchen, market booth, living room, storefront, treehouse, boat, tiny home, or camper van [& anywhere in between]. We also do CNC-for-Hire work.
Thank you for being here.
materials
When choosing materials, we put a lot of thought into the purpose, longevity and safety of each component of each product.
We normally use FSC Certified lumber, and actively work to reduce or repurpose our scrap wood.
You will not see particle board in any of our products, and we typically only use water-based or naturally derived oil finishes that have lower VOCs and are safe for children and pets.
CNC designing
In 2019, we built our own CNC router, and in 2021 we upgraded to a ShopSabre 408.
This very powerful equipment allows us to accurately design 3D models and drafts, make very precise cuts and be very consistent without wildly increasing labor.
Don't be fooled- while we love computer-aided design, we still find joy and value in hand tools and traditional woodwork.
"How much will this cost?"
Maiben Fixtures & Furnishings offers a catalog of items that are tried & true, most of them used in our own home. We also offer custom furnishings for your home or business. However, the term "custom work" often scares people away because of the idea that there's a hefty price tag on it. We are trying to change that. Message us any day to inquire about a project in mind.
