Solid Wood Construction

Solid Wood Construction
Genuine solid wood is used on all exterior panels and shaped edges to provide quality and beauty that will last for generations. Kincaid does not use veneers, which often crack and peel over time. Many furniture manufacturers only use solid wood on drawer fronts, while the remainder of the product is veneer over particleboard. Edges are typically "banded" with a strip of solid wood to simulate solid wood construction, but below the veneer is particleboard. In certain instances Kincaid Furniture may use other construction methods to offer the most useful, practical, and/or the safest function to consumers.

Drawer Gliders
	Kincaid wood collections feature premium soft-close drawer glides. The Kincaid soft-close glide features adjustable drawer positioning as well as an adjustable tensioning feature for an exquisite motion and a long life. Select Kincaid items may use traditional wood-on-wood, non-tilting, dovetailed drawer guides where advantageous or necessary.

Front Posts
Where the design allows, heavy front posts are used for additional case stability and strength.

Floating Panels
Raised panel doors and bed panels utilize a floating, self-centering construction technique.

Finger Joints
	All Kincaid solid wood chairs are crafted using a glue and screw technique across a finger-jointed corner, adding strength to the chair while minimizing flex across the joint.

Solid Wood Edges
	Shaped edges are constructed of solid wood unlike many manufacturers who use banded veneers. Solid wood is a superior choice for premium quality and durability.

Mortise and Tenon Joints
	Kincaid's case construction features mortise and tenon joinery, a time-proven method of assembling two parts at a 90° angle.

Floating Tops
Fully floating tops, end panels, bed panels, etc. are incorporated into every Kincaid product to allow for normal expansion and contraction of the solid wood components as the humidity changes in your home.

Dovetailing
	Kincaid's dovetail drawer construction utilizes English dovetails on the drawer front and back create a tight fit and add exceptional strength.

Built-In Levelers
	Adjustable levelers are provided on all units for leveling doors and on larger cabinets for a center support.

Kincaid, in keeping with its tradition in styling, materials and finish, crafts its furniture collections using primarily solid woods selected for grain clarity, color coordination and design. Combinations of different solid wood species are used within each collection. Not all exposed surfaces of every collection are constructed of solid wood. Wood products, multi-layered plywood, veneers and laminates are used for certain structural elements, including exposed surfaces that support leather, cane wicker and other non-wood materials, as well as in select components including some decorative table tops, table skirts, bed rails, interior surfaces, back panels, pullout trays, serving surfaces, etc. Some of our furniture features metal, stone, marble, granite or a composite material with the appearance of these elements.
