Oxidized Gold Shaped Square Tube for Cabinets

Why the oxidized-gold finish matters in daily use

Many “gold” cabinet parts look great until they meet kitchen reality: abrasion from rings, microfiber cloths, alkaline cleaners, steam, and constant contact points.

Red Cherry’s anodized treatment is described as an electrochemical process that thickens the natural oxide layer, making the surface extremely hard and corrosion-resistant—and importantly, the layer is integral to the metal so it “will not peel or flake.” 

That translates into real advantages for cabinet makers and project contractors:

• More stable appearance over time: less risk of edge chipping compared with painted finishes.

• Scratch and wear resistance where hands live: handles, door edges, shelf lips, and perimeter frames.

• Moisture tolerance for kitchens/bathrooms: suitable for high-humidity zones when paired with correct hardware and sealing details.

• Easier cleaning: a smooth metallic surface that doesn’t trap grime like textured coatings.

Practical application scenarios

1) Kitchen & bathroom cabinets (humidity + cleaning)

• Frame systems for modern slab doors

• Floating shelves and support structures

• Vanity frames and open-storage partitions

Because these areas see steam and frequent wiping, the anodized layer’s durability becomes a cost-saving feature (fewer touch-ups, fewer callbacks). 

2) Premium wardrobes, closets & built-ins (high visibility)

• Gold accents on vertical frame lines

• Internal structural rails that still look “designed”

• Integrated lighting channels alongside square tube framing (clean cable routing with smart machining)

3) Retail displays & hospitality furniture (fast installation, consistent finish)

• Modular display cabinets and showcase skeleton frames

• Bar back shelving and feature cabinets

• Reception desk trim and structural detailing

Manufacturing flexibility

Red Cherry notes they support customization according to CAD and drawings and provide oxidation and post-processing services to meet customer requirements. 
This is especially relevant for cabinet factories and project teams that need:

• Custom tube sizes / wall thickness

• Pre-cut lengths for assembly-line work

• CNC machining: holes, slots, pocketing for concealed fasteners or hinge plates

• Drilling/tapping: quick hardware integration

• Finish options beyond gold: anodizing, powder coating, electrophoresis, wood grain transfer (useful when you want gold only on feature areas and a neutral tone elsewhere).
