As a young man, beginning in the 1980s, Derek Centorbi spent summers working in his Italian grandfather’s kitchen remodeling business in St. Louis, Missouri. He grew up learning true craftsmanship and an unparalleled commitment to quality and customer service. He also experienced his grandfather's frustration when cabinets ordered from large manufacturers didn't live up to expectations. With those early lessons learned and eventually, a business degree, there was no question that Derek would establish his own custom cabinet business – Centorbi Cabinetry – in 1995. From those early years in a 3500 square foot building to one that’s over ten times that size, Centorbi Cabinetry has grown to meet demand, while always putting quality and customer service first. Combining true craftsmanship, creativity, innovation and precision manufacturing have brought clients’ dreams to life for over 30 years. “Safina” was the family name in Italy. And today, Safina Fine Custom Cabinetry is the fulfillment of Derek Centorbi’s dream of delivering excellence in custom cabinetry beyond St. Louis to dealers and their clients across the country. Whether you’re building a new home or office, or remodeling an existing space, expect the best in custom cabinetry, and the best experience, from Safina.
