We have a 2006 35' Kountry Star with free standing dinette. We have seen some units with a narrow base cabinet along the wall behind the dinette and wonder if anyone knows where one can get such a cabinet to add to our coach.
Appreciate any information, thanks

It may be a factory option or special.

However, Carlyle Lehman, who lives near the factory is well known for his quality wood working, and he can make anything you wish.

Carlyle ia Amish, so you will have to leave a message and he will call you back.

We have been very happy with Carlyle's work at Focus Woodworking. We the cabinet that you are seeking installed last year - he has them in stock. We have been back twice for installation of customized cabinetry.
We are actually have an appointment for next Monday (8/18) for the final round of cabinets.
His showroom/workshop has plenty of room to park your RV with tow.

Irv Kaufman of Kaufman Kuston Woodworking in Nappanee did a desk for us and it was beautiful. He is Vicky's (Newmar Kountry Klub) husband.

Thank you for the information but can we ask you for more? Do your new cabinets match your factory cabinets or are you replacing them all? Our cabinetry is light oak color. Do you have a picture of your dinette cabinet like the one we are inquiring about and do you know the dimensions?
Thanks again.

Not sure what part of the country you are located, if in the Pacific Northwest, Davis Cabinets in Junction City OR. did our dining table/w chairs and wall cabinet. Did very good job matching the factory finish, although not an exact match just enough contrast to break up all of the wood in the area so it looks really nice. Here is a picture of our installation"

I too have several Carlyle pieces in my rig and they all match the existing cabinets.

As posted above, Irv Kaufman is another excellent cabinet maker.

I have ordered cabinet pieces, doors, etc. from Carlyle and have been 100% pleased. He asks me to make pictures of the contours of the doors and pictures of the hardware and he matches them perfectly and ships the order to me. I have Coastal Cherry wood and he matches it.

I too can recommend either Irv Kaufman or Carlyle Lehman. We have had work by both and they are both first class.
The difference between them as I see it are Irv makes every thing to order and takes his own measurements and Carlyle has stock on hand for his most popular items and consequently can provide much faster service on those items. He can also provide custom made items also.
With both, all finishes match the factory and they both match handles and pulls exactly with existing.

Al, we have an 05 MA also. Wondering what you had done. We have thought about trading for a newer one but may opt for some new "stuff"
Thanks,
Tom Highland
