What are raised panel cabinets?

Raised panel cabinets are a popular choice in cabinet styles, as they offer a new dimension to standard cabinets. The cabinets are designed with a raise in the wood, giving it a more elegant and sophisticated look. Some designers may prefer to go with different raised center panels and frame-typed panels to accompany.
The door panel floats in the center of the frame and is raised with a piece of solid wood. This adds more depth to the appearance of the cabinet, and can be merged with different textures, grains and colors of wood.
