Mixing Nexus birch with Ramdala or Adel birch

Has anyone tried using Nexus birch base cabinets with Ramdala or Adel birch glass wall cabinets?

Thanks

Hi kwhite - I haven't seen anyone use that combination. Note that the adel birch glass has little white bow ties in it. I'm not a a fan of the adel birch glass cabinets. I have an adel birch kitchen and decided to not use any glass in my cabinets - at the last minute I almost switched from adel birch to askome ash - just so I could have some glass cabinets.

Note that Ramdala is being discontinued.

these birches are all different tones. The Nexus is like the Bondi shelf and storage units but the birch Billy is like neither. Ramdala is solid birch, the Nexus is a veneer. I have not seen the Adel in many years but the frame is quite massive compared to Ramdala. Nexus has no frame. We almost went Adel but preferred the lighter feel of the frameless Nexus. We put in frosted glass doors for some contrast.

You get to do whatever you want!

I have Nexus birch cabinets living happily side by side with Billy birch bookcases. There's a slight difference in the widths of the birch strips, but the color tones are exactly the same. The doors on the Billy have a frame around them and the Nexus don't, but that's the only real visible difference.
