Crowning Glory
Quality cabinet choices for every budget
Crown Point Cabinetry, the premier cabinetmaker
located in Claremont, New Hampshire, was launched
in a garage in 1978 by President Brian Stowell’s father
with a table saw, radial saw and a belt sander from Sears.
From those humble roots, Crown Point has emerged as an
industry leader in inset wood cabinetry, and now operates
from a state-of-the-art facility with top-tier machinery and
artisans, and an inspired showroom of custom designs.
The family-run business has never lacked vision. In the
summer of 2018, Crown Point launched Crown Select, a
secondary line offering the same high-quality inset and
frameless cabinetry for a lesser investment. Crown Select
is the Toyota to Crown Point’s Lexus, maintains Stowell;
they are built by the same artisans, share the same quality
standards and use Crown Point’s beautifully durable ovenbaked
finish. Both Crown Point and Crown Select offer
custom fit appliance panels and accessories, including
recycling centers, tray and flatware dividers, rollout storage
and Lemans corner units. Each arrives blanket-wrapped
direct to the site and is backed by a comprehensive, 10-
year warranty, but there are some key differences. Crown
Point offers complete customization for those looking
to “reinvent-the-wheel,” while Crown Select boasts the
merits of Crown Point with limited customization, as well as
the following distinctions....
