Abstract:
1. A method for assembling a cabinet comprising the steps of: providing cabinet panels, each panel including a top surface that will define an outer surface of the assembled cabinet, a bottom surface that will define an interior surface of the assembled cabinet, and a front surface perpendicularly spanning between an edge of the top surface and an edge of the bottom surface, the front surface defining a forward facing surface of the assembled cabinet; grooving at least a portion of the front surface of at least one of said cabinet panels, wherein the grooving is performed by removing cabinet material at an intersection of the edge of the bottom surface and the front surface of the at least one of said cabinet panels while leaving the top surface of said at least one of said cabinet panels un-grooved; securing edging by frictionally engaging a first edging inner portion with the grooved front surface of said at least one of said panels and frictionally engaging a second edging inner portion with the un-grooved top surface of said at least one of said panels to form an overhang that projects beyond said edge of the top surface of said at least one of said panels along substantially an entire length of the grooved front surface such that an outer surface of the edging is substantially coplanar with the bottom surface of said at least one panel such that the interior cabinet surface defined by the bottom surface of said at least one panel and the outer surface of the edging is substantially planar about its entirety; and assembling said panels to form a cabinet.
