Peter Laufer shares the 40-year history of Metropolitan Cabinets and Countertops, a third-generation family business with multiple showrooms across greater Boston. As manufacturers rather than dealers, they control quality, pricing, and timelines directly while working closely with contractors, architects, designers, and homeowners.
• Founded over 40 years ago by Stuart and Mike Elfland when they saw an opportunity after another cabinet company closed
• Specializes in manufacturing custom cabinets and countertops rather than reselling other products
• Maintains five showrooms throughout greater Boston, including a North Shore location in Wakefield
• Serves residential kitchens, apartment renovations, and multifamily construction projects
• Recognized as one of the 100 most charitable companies in Massachusetts
• Donates cabinets to Habitat for Humanity and supports various nonprofit causes
• Features a team of designers and project managers to ensure smooth project execution
