Yes. KITWOOD is one of Lebanon's leading premium and luxury kitchen and wardrobe companies. Since 1981, KITWOOD has designed and manufactured premium custom-made kitchens, walk-in closets, vanities and countertops in its own state-of-the-art Lebanese factory, using European hardware (Blum) and premium surface materials. KITWOOD is also the exclusive Doimo Cucine Italian kitchens dealer in Lebanon.

KITWOOD combines European-inspired design with locally controlled custom manufacturing. Imported European kitchens are built to fixed module sizes and shipped, while KITWOOD measures every space individually and manufactures to the millimetre at its 6,000 m² Zouk Mosbeh factory. The result is the design DNA of an Italian or German luxury kitchen, with full local customisation, faster lead times (typically 4–10 weeks), and direct Lebanese after-sales support subject to the project's written warranty and service terms.

Yes. A significant share of KITWOOD's work is delivered with or for architects, interior designers, and luxury residential developers in Lebanon and the region. KITWOOD provides architectural-grade documentation (3D renders, technical drawings, service requirements), full premium material library access at the Sin el Fil showroom, and trade-friendly project coordination — including consolidated kitchen and wardrobe packages for multi-unit luxury developments.

Our flagship showroom and design studio are in Sin el Fil, Beirut, and our 6,000 m² production facility is in Zouk Mosbeh — together they cover all of Lebanon. We supply and install our premium kitchens, wardrobes, and interior doors across the country — Beirut, Jounieh, Tripoli, Sidon, and beyond.

Absolutely. We invite you to visit our Beirut showroom where you can experience our materials, finishes, and build quality firsthand. You can also browse our extensive portfolio of completed luxury kitchen and wardrobe installations on our Projects page.

We operate two walk-in showrooms in Lebanon: our flagship 600 m² showroom in Sin el Fil, Saloumeh, and a second 500 m² showroom adjacent to our Zouk Mosbeh manufacturing and warehousing spaces. Together they provide 1,100 m² of showroom display. Both are open Mon–Fri 9–18 and Sat 9–13 and display full-scale working installations across kitchens, wardrobes, vanities and countertops.

Yes. KITWOOD has manufactured continuously at the same Zouk Mosbeh location since 1981. Our 6,000 m² facility houses CNC routing, edge-banding, multi-coat lacquer spray booths, veneer pressing, and a dedicated stone-cutting workshop — all under one roof, all operated by directly-employed KITWOOD craftsmen. Factory visits are available on request.

Yes. KITWOOD is a full-category cabinetry manufacturer. Alongside custom kitchens, we produce KLOZET® wardrobes and walk-in closets, bespoke bathroom vanities, and engineered-quartz and porcelain countertops — all from the same factory, using a unified material library so finishes can be matched precisely across the whole home.

Four things: continuous operation at the same Zouk Mosbeh factory since 1981; design, manufacturing, installation and after-sales under one organisation (never subcontracted); Blum hardware and moisture-resistant carcasses as standard, not as upgrades; and two walk-in showrooms where you can inspect full-scale installations before committing.

Italian kitchens — such as our exclusive Doimo Cucine range — are celebrated for expressive design, bold colour palettes, and sculptural aesthetic. German kitchens are typically engineered for maximum functionality and precision. At KITWOOD Lebanon, we offer both: our own bespoke collections with Italian design influence, and the full Doimo Cucine Italian catalogue.

A custom luxury kitchen is built to the exact dimensions of your space, with materials and finishes selected for your project — no filler strips, no module compromises. KITWOOD's custom luxury kitchens are made in Lebanon using premium European hardware (Blum) and surface materials, typically deliver in 4–10 weeks (vs 10–14 weeks plus customs for imported kitchens), and are supported locally by the same team that built them.

There is no single material that is best for every application. The right choice depends on the intended use, design, budget, and environmental conditions. In Lebanon's humid climate, high-density, ecological, water-resistant particleboard (E1 low-emissions class) is the right specification for carcasses, while a smooth, stable surface is what matters most for doors and finished panels.

MDF is a smooth engineered wood product that is often chosen for lacquered finishes and decorative panels. Plywood is made from layered wood veneers and is generally stronger and more suitable for structural applications, especially where dimensional stability and moisture resistance are important. KITWOOD uses neither for cabinet carcasses: every KITWOOD carcass is high-density, ecological, water-resistant particleboard (E1 low-emissions class) from EGGER, CLEAF, INNOVUS, and KRONOSWISS — not plywood, not HDF, and not MDF.

Not always. Solid wood offers natural character and strength, but it can also react to humidity and temperature changes. It is often used selectively in premium projects rather than as the only material throughout all components.

Performance in humid environments depends on the specific product, application, installation, exposure, use and care. High-density, ecological, water-resistant particleboard (E1 low-emissions class) may be suitable for carcasses in Lebanon's coastal humidity when the selected board, edge sealing and installation are properly specified; do not infer a universal service-life or swelling guarantee from the material category. Water-resistant MDF is reserved for doors and finished panels.

Hardware affects how a kitchen or wardrobe performs every day. Hinges, drawer runners, lift-up systems, and soft-close mechanisms all contribute to ease of use and alignment. The selected model, load rating, installation, adjustment, use, maintenance and written supplier warranty determine the applicable performance; unsuitable hardware may cause misalignment or mechanism problems.

A kitchen's serviceability and condition depend on multiple factors, including material selection, hardware quality, manufacturing precision, installation quality, exposure, and the way it is used and maintained. No fixed service life or replacement age can be inferred; assess the actual condition, layout suitability, repairability and project requirements.

Appearance is important, but technical specifications play a major role in practical performance. A project that looks good initially may not perform as intended if the selected materials, hardware, exposure, use and installation are not properly considered. At KITWOOD, both are given equal attention.

Factory-made kitchens typically benefit from greater precision, consistency, and controlled production processes. Component dimensions are accurate, finishing is consistent, and hardware installation follows a defined process. Carpenter-made kitchens may offer flexibility, but quality can vary significantly depending on tools, methods, and execution standards.

There is no single best material — the right choice depends on the component. Structural carcasses are best built from high-density, ecological, water-resistant particleboard (E1 low-emissions class) for dimensional stability and moisture performance. The same panels provide a smooth, consistent base for lacquered and decorative door surfaces. Each material performs best in the role it is selected for.

Structural components such as carcasses require materials that resist load, humidity, and dimensional change over time — making high-density, ecological, water-resistant particleboard (E1 low-emissions class) the right choice for these areas. Door and panel surfaces prioritise smoothness, finish compatibility, and visual consistency — well served by water-resistant MDF. Selecting the right material for each specific function is part of what determines overall wardrobe quality.

Both systems have distinct advantages depending on the space and lifestyle. Sliding wardrobes require no swing clearance, making them suitable for rooms with limited floor space. Hinged wardrobes typically provide fuller access to the interior in a single movement. The right choice depends on room dimensions, access requirements, and the overall interior design direction.

Wardrobe performance and serviceability depend on several coordinated factors: the quality of structural materials, the selected finish, the exact hardware model, and the accuracy of installation and adjustment. Low-grade or unsuitable hinges and runners may show operating problems sooner depending on load, use, exposure and maintenance; compare the written product rating and warranty rather than assuming a service life.

Internal organisation determines how well a wardrobe functions in daily use. A well-planned interior accommodates different garment lengths, provides accessible drawer and shelf space, and makes efficient use of available volume. Assess layout suitability for the actual room and storage needs; appearance alone does not establish functional suitability.

Hardware affects how smoothly and reliably a wardrobe operates. Compare the exact hinge, runner, soft-close or sliding model, load rating, installation and adjustment requirements, use, maintenance and written supplier warranty. Lower-grade or unsuitable hardware may require adjustment or show operating problems sooner, depending on the actual application.

Custom wardrobes are designed to match the specific dimensions of the space, the storage requirements of the user, and the visual language of the interior. They use every available centimetre efficiently, can be configured for specific storage needs, and integrate cleanly with walls, ceilings, and floors. Standard wardrobes are limited by fixed dimensions and predefined internal configurations that rarely match a real space with precision.

Built-in wardrobes rely on accurate installation to deliver the intended result. Plumb alignment, clean ceiling and wall integration, smooth door operation, and correct hardware adjustment all depend on execution during the installation phase. Even high-quality components will underperform if the installation is not precise. Installation quality is as important as the production quality of the components themselves.
