At Superior Cabinets, we’re going all in on rustic. Our recent blog, Introducing Rustic Knotty Alder Cabinets, sparked major interest from designers, new home builders, renovation contractors, authorized dealer partners, and homeowners alike. That’s why we’re thrilled to expand the collection with four new door styles that combine the raw beauty of rustic alder with some of our most in-demand profiles.
These products are not available in all markets. For more information, please speak with your Authorized Superior Cabinets Representative.
These new additions—Mesa, Manhattan, Michigan, and Burlington—were hand-picked by our Product Development team for good reason. Each style brings something special to the table, balancing rustic character with timeless mass appeal. They’ve all proven themselves popular in other wood species, and now they’re ready to shine in our trending rustic finish.
Meet the New Doors
Mesa
A favourite among transitional kitchens, Mesa features a slim shaker profile with just enough depth to make a statement. This door lets the knots and character marks of the alder wood take centre stage.
See the Mesa door style in the Superior Cabinets Calgary Showroom & Design Studio.
Manhattan
Clean, crisp, and oh-so versatile, Manhattan’s squared edges and modern shaker look make it a designer go-to. It softens the rustic texture just enough to appeal to both modern and farmhouse sensibilities.
Michigan
With its slightly wider stiles and rails, the Michigan door adds a grounded, craftsman-like feel to rustic alder. It’s great for spaces that call for warmth and durability without compromising on sophistication.

Burlington
Elegant and traditional, Burlington has a roundover routed detail that complements the rugged grain of knotty alder in the most unexpected way. It’s perfect for clients who want something a little more classic—without going too polished. See the Burlington Door Style featured in Project [RUNDLE].
Why Rustic Alder?
If you missed it, this post explains what makes Rustic Knotty Alder such a standout material—natural character, timeless charm, and unmatched warmth. It pairs beautifully with neutral stone countertops, matte black accents, or even a touch of brushed gold for contrast. The positive feedback we’ve received from our dealers and design partners confirmed what we already suspected: Rustic is having a moment, and it’s here to stay.
What’s Next?
As always, we listen to our design community and dealer network to inform what comes next. This expansion is only the beginning. Our clients love the rustic vibe, and now’s the time to offer them even more choices.
