Kitchen cabinet frames can be built with little woodworking knowledge. These frames attach to the front of the cabinets. Most cabinet frames are built using 1 1/2-inch wide material. The material should be 3/4-inch thick. They can be stained the same color as the doors and drawer fronts. Cabinet frames should be built from hardwood, which can be purchased from your local home improvement store or from a lumber yard.

Things You'll Need
