Medallion Mission FP Maple Smoke Cabinets

The Medallion Mission FP Maple Smoke combines solid wood construction with a sophisticated muted gray finish and KCMA certification. This Mission-inspired flat-panel design features hand-crafted construction dating to 1969, with vertical grain orientation on panels and a sophisticated muted gray finish. Built for kitchen contractors who need reliable semi-custom cabinetry that delivers both quality and aesthetics.

Construction and Materials

The Mission FP uses solid wood door frame with mortise and tenon assembly — the joint that actually holds up over decades of daily use. The veneer flat center panel with vertical grain direction keeps the grain running consistently for a cleaner look.

What sets this cabinet apart is the five-piece top drawer front supplied as standard. Most manufacturers charge extra for five-piece drawer construction. Medallion includes it because they understand that top drawers take the most abuse and deserve better construction.

The Smoke finish features a black-grey stain that brings out the natural wood grain, featuring an oven-cured satin-finish top-coat for a superior seal. This isn’t just a surface coating — the oven-cured process bonds the finish deep into the wood for long-term durability.

Quality Certifications

KCMA (Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association) compliant and certified means these cabinets passed rigorous third-party testing for structural integrity, finish durability, and overall quality. KCMA certification isn’t just a rubber stamp — cabinets undergo testing that simulates years of real-world use.

The Lifetime Limited Warranty covers defects in material and workmanship for the life of the product. Note that improper installation is not covered by warranty — hire a professional installer who knows what they’re doing.

Design Details

The Gold Full Overlay covers the cabinet opening fully, giving that clean, modern look clients want. Combined with the Mission-style flat panels and vertical grain orientation, these cabinets work in contemporary kitchens without looking trendy.

Maple wood features smooth texture, tight uniform grain, creamy white to reddish-brown coloring that ambers with age. The Smoke finish showcases maple’s natural grain pattern while adding sophisticated gray tones that hide everyday wear better than lighter finishes.

What’s Included and What’s Not

The kit includes the door finished in Smoke and that five-piece top drawer front. But decorative hardware must be selected and installed separately — no knobs or pulls included. Factor hardware costs into your budget.

Applications

These cabinets work for residential kitchen remodels, modern and contemporary home interiors, and new home construction. The gray tones complement stainless steel appliances and quartz countertops that dominate today’s kitchen designs.

For contractors comparing finishes, similar dark/gray finishes include Cavern, Shadow, and variants with dry brush or glazes (e.g., Smoke with Ebony Glaze). The straight Smoke finish offers the most versatile option without the added cost of glazing treatments.

Bottom Line

Medallion Mission FP Maple Smoke cabinets deliver where it counts — solid wood construction, proper joinery, KCMA certification, and thoughtful details like standard five-piece drawer fronts. The Smoke finish hides wear while letting maple’s natural grain show through. For Montana contractors building quality kitchens that need to look good and function reliably for decades, these cabinets earn their place on the spec sheet.
