So, greenhouse cabinets are manufactured here in St. Louis by us, Moanzi. So we have four collections, our mod collection, Luxe collection, HC, and our new builder grade that we call BG. This is what started greenhouse cabinets. Our first few jobs were sold off of this very cabinet, made entirely out of bamboo. Stainless steel, drawers, soft clothes, full extension. We have lots of lift system doors. This is natural walnut. Door goes up, soft clothes. These two cabinets here are part of our BG collection brand new. No stainless steel, but solid wood and dovetail drawers, soft clothes, and full extension. This is natural cherry. These are all local woods or FSC certified woods. This is an example of our Luxe collection. It's our ultra contemporary line. It'styled after an Italian style of cabinetry where we're using the laminates. So essentially, clients just pick a laminate style, whether it be a wood grain or solid color. It's pretty cool because our cabinets were actually featured in this book that just came out called Prefabulous and Almost Off the Grid. These are our cabinets here in a home that we did on Hartford. It's a lead platin Right behind you over here is an example of our HC collection, which stands for Honest Construction. We call it Honest Construction because we're not hiding anything. The void free veneer core, which would normally be edge banded or covered, we leave that exposed. As part of the aesthetic, it's what we would call a minimalist style cabinet. There are no poles or knobs in this style of cabinet because we have notched hand holes. So you just reach in and open. It'still stainless steel, soft clothes for extension. We're on the bottom. This cabinet's lots of fun and you can really customize it because this cabinet actually has a door in the center, which you don't normally see.

Finishes that we use are non-toxic, so that'stains and the top coat finish and even the glues that we use are green guard certified. We do a lot of walnut. This walnut is actually from Webster Groves. One of the cool things about our cabinet is that when we're using local woods, it doesn't cost us more to mill and kiln a walnut tree over a red oak tree. So we pass those savings on. There's a premi And we can make your dining table to match. There's a lot of pride in St. Louis. The fact that we have such a focus on local woods, local business, I think that really resonates and it crosses all planes. That's probably the biggest reason why we've been able to get so many restaurant projects, and I think that's the biggest thing that we've been able to do in our cafes is this tie to the neighborhood that you're working in. So when we're making something that's unique for them and it's tied to the neighborhood, whether that's a piece of wood that came from that building or a tree that grew down the street, just this sort of customized local connection. Well, it's a cultural thing. If you're going to represent yourself as a sustainable company that gives sustainable and builds sustainable products, you have to be that way from the inside out. People that gravitate toward that type of product, they want to know that it's meaningful. You're not just picking it because you're choosing it off the shelf at a large store. You're choosing it because it'something that you want to incorporate into your life. You're making a very specific, conscious choice. Absolutely. I mean, I didn't start off this way. It's not like I was drinking petrole So that's reassuring. And it's not It's just making better choices if you can. If you have an option and you can do it, you should probably do it.
