NORWOOD, Mass. -- Metropolitan Cabinets & Countertops is holding the line on costs by sourcing domestic materials and avoiding import tariffs.

Metropolitan has been locally manufacturing cabinets for kitchens and bathrooms in Norwood since 2005, and is celebrating 35 years in business this year. Metropolitan has continued to expand its manufacturing capabilities and facilities over the past 14 years and doubled its factory size in 2017 to more than 150,000 square feet. The company has the latest computer-driven machinery and technology.

All materials used for the cabinetry are American sourced. The plywood comes from Oregon, the maple used for the drawer boxes is brought in from Minnesota and the wood doors are handmade in Pennsylvania.
