Fabuwood Illume cabinets in New Jersey — frameless, European construction
Illume is Fabuwood's first frameless line: the Catalina slab and Tuscany wide-shaker fronts in gloss, matte and textured surfaces on an engineered-board box with Blum MERIVOBOX metal drawers and six-way soft-close hinges — the European construction and the European look.
