About eggersmann & German Cabinetry
How long have you been in business?
Still a family-owned business, eggersmann, was founded in 1908. More than 100 years later, our team of designers and craftsmen continue with the personalized touch and attention to detail that founder, Wilhelm Eggersmann, insisted on in his small cabinetry shop though our craftsmen create in a state-of-the-art precision-driven factory.
Why a German kitchen?
Germany is respected globally for the efficiency, ergonomics, and luxury of the designs and products of its industries. Consider its automotive brands such as BMW and Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and Volkswagen that are revered for their style, innovation, and durability. A similar approach to German kitchen design and manufacture are followed to deliver the same high-end and precise product.
German kitchens are built by artisans and craftsmen in state-of-the-art factories for exceptional quality control. Other countries’ cabinetry production have similar styles, but rarely rival a German kitchen’s durability and functional style.
Custom Cabinetry Design
What rooms does eggersmann design?
Any room inside your home is a potential canvas for an eggersmann design using our versatile cabinetry and finishes. We have a wide variety of specialty organizers and other innovations that make gracious, elegant living and entertaining more enjoyable and exciting in every room, no matter its function.
Do you offer in-home consultations?
Our experience is that our first meeting at our showroom offers you a better understanding of our products and wide variety of finishes. After the initial meeting in one of our showrooms to learn about your goals, your designer is happy to visit with you in your home to discuss your dream room. Call the showroom closest to you to schedule a design session.

Will I see drawings of my cabinetry before it is ordered?
Absolutely! This is all part of the eggersmann German cabinetry design experience. Your design retainer entitles you to detailed plans with elevations and 3D renderings. These drawings become part of your purchase agreement and are reviewed in detail with you by our design team to ensure you receive what you expect.
Will there be 3D renderings to help us see color combinations to finalize the finishes?
Absolutely! This is all part of the eggersmann German cabinetry design experience. Your design retainer entitles you to detailed plans with elevations and 3D renderings. These drawings become part of your purchase agreement and are reviewed in detail with you by our design team to ensure you receive what you expect.
What is the design retainer?
This is a non-refundable fee that covers design consultations, drawings, and renderings of the design process. It is collected at the start of the design process and later credited back to the final project amount. Our design retainer starts at $10,000 per room.
How long does it take to design my room(s)?
It depends on you and how fast you like to make decisions. A small bathroom or small kitchen can be thoroughly and thoughtfully designed in one week. A larger space can take two to three weeks and an entire home can take months. Remember there are textiles, fabrics, hard surfaces, cabinet and drawer interior accessories, lighting, and so many other considerations that must be selected and reviewed.
Can I use my existing appliances?
Definitely. We need the make and model of the units you plan to reuse in your new design. We will customize the cabinetry to fit.
Is a two-tone kitchen trending or 1-tone?
While we work with clients to create the designs they prefer, for a small kitchen, your designer may suggest a monotone palette for it to appear larger and more elegant. Larger spaces can utilize more colors and patterns. We recommend that clients bring their design boards or pictures of rooms they love.
Outdoor Kitchens & Furniture
What is the OUTDOOR LIVING cabinetry made from?
The material is Accoya®. It is a modified wood timber that is entirely through-and-through waterproof, not just coated. It is known as acetylated wood. The wood has a low carbon footprint and is fungus-resistant, insect-resistant, biodegradable, non-toxic, FSC® accredited, Cradle to Cradle Gold-certified™, and the only construction material in the world to achieve C2C Platinum certification™. The Accoya manufacturer, warranties the wood for 50 years for above ground applications and 25 years for in-ground or underwater.
Acetylated wood is created by drying timbers to a very low moisture content then put through a process to remove the hydroxyl (naturally occurring chemical substances within the wood cell walls) from the wood using acetic anhydride which is a natural process of replacing the cells in the wood that would permit moisture-rot and decay. The process of acetylation removes the possibility for moisture to penetrate the wood.
Will CUBIC Material paint fade over time?
No, the paint used on our OUTDOOR LIVING collection was developed for window fronts and doors and has been tested for outdoor exposure for 20+ years.
What is the longest time that one of your outdoor cabinetry products has been outside?
The longest exposed product we have real world examples for is our cushion box stored outside with no protection from the elements of sun and weather since 2012. We have full kitchens that have had real world exposure to outdoor elements without a cover since 2016.
