IKD has long had a design relationship with Los Angeles, CA-based Semihandmade, a leading third-party custom cabinet front manufacturer whose offerings fit perfectly with IKEA’s SEKTION cabinetry framework.

Semihandmade is evolving into a fully realized lifestyle brand, and they started by launching their own line of cabinets: BOXI by Semihandmade.

BOXI is designed to simplify the installation process so customers can remodel their kitchen, bath, or any other room in the home.

This is accomplished through easy online design and ordering as well as competitive pricing, and American-built durable cabinetry products.

They provide a one-stop shopping experience and the cabinets will arrive pre-assembled, with door and drawer fronts attached. No more Allen wrenches or hours-long assembly at the hands of an expensive contractor.

This is important because IKEA customers may or may not realize the professional-level assembly and installation skills that are required with IKEA cabinets.

Better understanding this can significantly cut installation costs and save time and stress spent on improperly installed cabinets, missing items in your order, and repeated trips to IKEA.

BOXI has a curated selection of some of the most popular drawer and cabinet fronts with which to choose from in the market, including options for base cabinets, wall cabinets, tall cabinets and vanities.

According to BOXI, this includes Shaker, Slab, Woodgrain and Edge door styles. Total available BOXI cabinet profiles include eight options.

  • The Shaker style comes in a Matte finish (Salt and Mushroom);
  • The Slab style also comes in a Matte finish (Salt and Mushroom);
  • The Woodgrain door style features a horizontal grain pattern on doors/drawers and a vertical pattern on most panels/trim;
  • The Edge door style features a Matte finish (Peppercorn) as well.

Ale says:

“IKD provides unlimited 3-D images that cover all angles to empower homeowners and give them the peace of mind and clarity that they need to make sure they are creating a functional space that they will love and enjoy for years to come.”

“IKD creates realistic colored renderings so homeowners can rest assured that they will have the optimal storage space, style and functionality that covers their family’s needs.”

“Homeowners select their personal touches, which includes wall color, backsplash, countertop, main appliances and sink choices to see how it all ties together with their preferred door style and color selection for BOXI cabinets”.

Koa Nu’uhiwa, VP of Operations for Semihandmade, concludes:

“Customers who choose BOXI (versus Semihandmade and IKEA) eliminate a time-consuming and often overwhelming step in their discovery process — the need to visit a big box store.

BOXI cabinets can be viewed and purchased from the comfort of their living rooms!

Plus, unlike IKEA boxes, BOXI arrives fully assembled at your doorstep. For some people, this ease of purchase and delivery is a real game changer.”
