Frameless cabinets are built without face frames, which means their doors are flat and attached directly via side panels. That means the margin between the door and the front of the cabinet is only about 1/8 inch, offering a very clean inset look. It also eliminates the need for a stile, or interior partition, which is typical for framed cabinets. Stiles often make it more difficult to fit larger items such as dishes in the cabinet, so frameless cabinets are easier to fill and less likely to lead to damage to the dishes.
