About Us

Arena Cabinets is a designer & supplier of high quality kitchen and bath cabinets, owned by father and daughter John Arena and Susan Lynch. John's 30 years experience as a general contractor and Susan's background as an architectural historian bring a thorough understanding of design and construction to every job.

We remove the middle man and give you the best prices possible. All of our cabinets are made with solid plywood frames and wood or high density engineered wood door and drawer faces. We never use particle board or MDF (medium density fiber board), which will break down with moisture and loosen with use. Doors and drawers have soft close hinges with heavy under mount drawer slides.

Our full design service includes free in-home consultation. All cabinets are carefully assembled and inspected here in our shop, wrapped, and personally delivered to ensure that everything arrives as ordered and ready to install. We pride ourselves on getting it right and keeping the project on schedule.

We sell directly to homeowners and also work closely with some of the best contractors and installers in the area.
