From the Fabuwood website: “We’re excited to announce a significant milestone for Fabuwood: the alignment of Plain & Fancy Custom Cabinetry, a luxury brand known for its timeless designs and exceptional craftsmanship, with Fabuwood. This marks a new chapter for both companies, combining what each offers to create an elevated customer experience.“
Plain & Fancy a longstanding custom cabinet maker located at 2550 Stiegel Pike in Schaefferstown, PA was acquired by Fabuwood creating a partnership that is sure to help both companies.
Just north of Lancaster Pennsylvania the Plain & Fancy factory has produced high end custom cabinetry for over 50 years. Pain & Fancy founder John Achey who began the company in 1968 making cabinetry in his garage created a rapidly growing brand that now manufactures their line in a 44,000 square foot facility. While small compared to Fabuwood’s one million square foot manufacturing plant Plain & Fancy is one of the largest custom cabinet makers in the state of Pennsylvania.

The state of Pennsylvania is known for it’s custom cabinetry.
This is partly due to the large Amish and Mennonite communities that settled around Lancaster and central Pennsylvania. Some of the other well known Pennsylvania custom cabinet makers include Wood-Mode, Craftmaid, Kountry Kraft, and Wellsford. These custom brands like Plain & Fancy are not small shops but large cabinet making plants that mass produce custom cabinetry.
