The cabinets are manufactured in Edgewood and marketed to the Northeast Iowa area, however clients have stretched as far away as Milwaukee, St Louis, Chicago, Kansas City, Minneapolis, as well as Florida and North Carolina.

What sets shimlee. apart from others who print on wood is, shimlee. prints on wood waste from our sawmill, Kendrick Forest Products and is truly a recycled product. Shims are the waste product that come from the side of the log when you start the sawing process. These shims are then dried in our dry kilns and processed in our cabinet plant, before being assembled by our shimlee. team. At shimlee., we use the industry’s best equipment to ensure a high quality product. Your photos are printed using ECO-UV ink to produce high quality graphics that are durable, vibrant, and beautiful. shimlee. is also marketed to photographers across the US.
