How did CABINET start?

In 1838, the timber business “Joseph Greven” was founded in Cologne. More than one century later, great-grandson Michael Greven combined the sale of products with fittings systems for DIY fans with the idea of converting niches into storage space using sliding doors. That was the foundation of today’s CABINET brand.

The history of CABINET began in 1838 with the founding of the “Joseph Greven” timber business. Michael Greven who, like his father, was trained and worked in his great-grandfather’s timber business, recognised the need to specialise back in the 1960s – as the first DIY shops were becoming popular. After the family timber business was liquidated, he took over a Hamburg-based company that sold products with fittings systems for DIY construction. Some time later, in 1979, Michael Greven imported a practical idea from North America to simply close niches with sliding doors in order to gain valuable storage space – thereby laying the cornerstone for the CABINET brand.

After decades of development and fine-tuning, the brand has achieved perfection with today’s exclusive CABINET system, including all of its corresponding services. CABINET is a perfectly functioning sliding-door built-in wardrobe system that includes numerous patented elements and is continually being dynamically improved. As the first German brand manufacturer of sliding-door built-in wardrobe systems, CABINET can look back at more than three decades of experience. Always looking to the future, full of innovative power and a distinctive sense for trends and style. Today, the business is run by Jens Leyrer and Frank Nowicki in accordance with the wishes of the company founder.

What makes CABINET so special?

CABINET has focused on ONE thing for more than three decades – the exclusive, customised sliding-door built-in wardrobe system, which is continually being enhanced and perfected.

This maximally customisable CABINET system includes numerous patented elements as well as unique, refined details in terms of optics, functionality and equipment. The result is a one-off range of customisation, detailing and design options. CABINET always places great emphasis on using the highest quality materials. Every component is exclusively made in Germany, in our manufacturing plant in Kerpen near Cologne. However, CABINET is much more than a made-to-measure sliding-door built-in wardrobe system, it also includes the corresponding complex services. These comprise:

  • An extensive network of specialist retailers awaiting CABINET customers with large, visual displays
  • Professional personal consulting
  • 3D planning with our own planning program, including a clear, specific cost breakdown
  • Our own installation teams specialised in CABINET, who install the system at the customer’s home
  • A ten-year guarantee on the flawless functioning of the roller technology as well as the exclusive use of shatter protection glass or safety glass for the doors

What does a CABINET cost?

The customer determines the price, as a CABINET is always individually planned, designed and manufactured.

A CABINET is always a made-to-measure furniture system. Therefore, the price depends on the degree of customisation and detail selected, the materials used, the desired equipment and accessories and also the total measurements. The entry-level price – for example for a three-door CABINET wardrobe – is around 2,700 euros.

If you have decided for a CABINET you can visit a CABINET specialist retailer in your area to gather inspiration from their large, appealing visual display or exhibition, and receive professional and personal advice. Furthermore, an experienced CABINET specialist retailer will take care of the 3D planning of your individually designed CABINET system, including a clear and transparent cost breakdown.

What does the purchasing process of a CABINET look like?

You can have your perfectly custom-designed CABINET dream wardrobe in just five steps: the personal meeting with your specialist retailer, the measuring at your home, the subsequent true-to-scale 3D planning, the punctual delivery and the installation. You also receive a ten-year guarantee.

You consider for which purpose you will need your CABINET, which functions it should have and how big it should be. Are you looking for a room divider, a sideboard, a wardrobe custom-made to fit around a corner or even a walk-in wardrobe? What do you want to keep, store away or perhaps highlight in your CABINET? Which colours and materials do you like? Which additional features and details are important to you?

You can then take this highly personal wish list or perhaps even an initial sketch and some approximate measurements to the appointment arranged with your CABINET specialist retailer. At your nearest specialist retailer, you can draw inspiration from their large, appealing visual display and ask for some professional advice.

Once all the details have been discussed and coordinated, you place your order with CABINET to manufacture your own personalised furniture system. Practically every detail of your CABINET will be specially manufactured. To ensure that everything really fits exactly in the end, trained CABINET staff measure the future location professionally and precisely before finalising the planning process. Your retailer then designs a 3D model of your desired piece of system furniture, including a detailed breakdown of the total costs.

Even though each individual component of your wardrobe is specially made for you at our manufacturing plant after your order has been received, as a rule we deliver and install your CABINET within six to eight weeks, at the agreed date. Experienced experts install the CABINET system directly at your home, enabling CABINET to make sure that everything functions perfectly. The installation is only complete when you are satisfied with the work in every respect.

A new CABINET is always a thing of joy – for many long years. You can be absolutely sure of that, because CABINET gives you a ten-year guarantee on the entire roller technology.
