Showplace Cabinetry, a respected employee-owned cabinetry manufacturer rooted in South Dakota, has introduced its latest door design, Wren. This sophisticated new entry strikes a refined balance between traditional warmth and modern aesthetics.
Background
Founded in 1999, Showplace Cabinetry has evolved from a modest operation into a nationally recognized brand—thanks to an unwavering commitment to craftsmanship, customization, and community values. In 2006, the company transitioned to become 100% employee-owned via an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)—a structure that ensures stability, accountability, and deep pride among its over 650 employee-owners. The company operates two major manufacturing locations: a door plant in Beresford and assembly plants in Harrisburg, South Dakota. These facilities anchor local economies and exemplify Showplace’s commitment to American-made quality.
Introducing “Wren”: A harmonious transitional design
The newly launched Wren door style embodies a cope-and-stick construction, featuring a 3/8‑inch solid reverse‑raised center panel framed by 2‑3/4‑inch-wide stiles and rails. A subtle vertical “step” profile along the stiles adds visual interest, reinforcing its adaptable appeal.
This design offers both substance and elegance—ideal for varied design schemes, whether modern, transitional, or classic. Wren is engineered to work seamlessly within Showplace’s full range of cabinet systems:
Lisa Myers, Director of Product Development at Showplace Cabinetry, remarked, “We’re excited to bring Wren into our cabinetry lineup. Its versatility and clean styling make it a perfect fit for today’s design demands. Whether you’re creating a modern kitchen, a cozy transitional space, or something unique, it works well in any space.” This sentiment aligns with Showplace’s broader design philosophy—to offer flexible, high-quality products that empower designers, dealers, and homeowners with choice and creativity.
Why Wren matters to the industry
In a market often polarized between strictly traditional or ultra-modern cabinetry, Wren occupies a sweet middle ground—a transitional design that appeals across tastes. Its robust, cleaner-lined profile ensures presence without overwhelming simpler environments.
By offering Wren across all construction formats—framed overlay, inset, and frameless EVO—Showplace ensures that designers can incorporate this style in nearly any project type or price tier. This flexibility is particularly valuable as homeowners increasingly seek custom aesthetics without premium custom pricing.
Showplace’s unveiling of Wren occurs during a period marked by growth and innovation. The company recently celebrated its 25th anniversary, underscoring over two decades of evolution from a modest start-up to a nationally trusted semi-custom brand.
Further, Showplace has committed $25 million toward expanding its frameless (EVO) production facility in Harrisburg—expanding its footprint from roughly 76,800 sq ft to over 180,000 sq ft. This investment signals the brand’s deepening commitment to innovation and scale.
The introduction of Wren feels like a natural continuation of Showplace’s ethos: blending design-forward thinking with inclusivity and quality. For dealers and designers, it offers an agile new style that fits seamlessly across existing product lines. For homeowners, it encourages bold, transitional, and personalized spaces built with craftsmanship rooted in South Dakota.
From Beresford’s production floors to Harrisburg’s assembly lines, Showplace’s employee-ownership model means every Wren door carries not just quality materials, but the pride of the people who built it. Expect Wren to become a go-to choice in cabinetry discussions—especially for those drawn to thoughtful design with Midwestern integrity.
Wren is now available for order through Showplace’s network of dealers nationwide, offering a new chapter in the company’s journey of design, ownership, and American manufacturing.
