Pacific Rim Designs

Pacific Rim Designs is a small, owner-operated cabinet shop in Port Alberni, run by James Weening since he opened his first workshop in 1997. What began as a furniture-building venture grew over the years into a full custom cabinetry business specialising in kitchens and bathrooms, now based in a Margaret Street location with a showroom and an on-site workshop. Customers can see first-hand how their cabinets and countertops are made, choosing materials, construction styles and finishes to suit their taste and budget. The shop takes on both residential and commercial projects, building each piece one at a time for a single client so the work reflects genuine craftsmanship rather than mass production. Weening credits the company's steady growth to hard work and a loyal customer base, and he encourages people to shop local as a way of investing in the community. With current equipment and years of experience, the team focuses on quality cabinetry and countertops built to the standard homeowners expect.
