At Kimball Midwest, we’re committed to continually improving our online platform to make your shopping experience smoother, faster and more intuitive.
Today, we’re excited to announce three new features on KimballMidwest.com that are designed to streamline product browsing, simplify assembly completion and help you find the exact items you need.
Read on to learn more about our catalog-like table view, our Complete Your Assembly module and our new quick selectors — all of which are now live and ready for you to explore!
1. Catalog-Like Table View
One of the most common requests we’ve received from customers is the ability to browse products in a format that mirrors our popular print catalogs. We’ve listened — and we’re thrilled to unveil our new catalog-like table view.
Why You’ll Love It
- Easier Comparison: Scan detailed product information in a table format, just like you would when flipping through a catalog. This allows for quick side-by-side comparisons, helping you identify the exact part or product you need.
- Clean, Organized Layout: Gone are the days of scrolling endlessly through multiple product pages. With the catalog view, you can swiftly spot the item you’re looking for by product number, attributes and other key specifications.
- Time Savings: By listing product details in a single glance, you’ll save valuable time that can be better spent focusing on your tasks or projects.
How It Works
When you navigate to any product category on KimballMidwest.com, simply navigate to your desired product via the menu or site search. You’ll see a row-and-column layout that organizes product data — like part numbers, sizes, finishes, package options and more — into an easy-to-read chart.

2. Complete Your Assembly Module
Have you ever ordered a part only to realize later that you forgot a related item, like the correct matching fastener or the sealant needed to finish the job? Our new Complete Your Assembly module is here to help.
Why You’ll Love It
- Comprehensive Solutions: This feature automatically suggests additional products that pair perfectly with the item you’re viewing, saving you the hassle of back-and-forth searching.
- Fewer Missed Parts: Ensure you have everything you need in one order. No more scrambling to find matching components at the last minute or placing a second (or third!) order.
How It Works
While viewing a specific product page, look for the Complete Your Assembly box. This section will display complementary or related products that match the item in your cart, helping you round out your order with less effort and greater efficiency.

3. Quick Selectors on Product Pages
We know time is of the essence. That’s why we’ve introduced quick selectors on each product page, allowing you to easily choose between different attributes, such as length, package size or color, without having to dig through multiple listings. You can see some examples here and here.
Why You’ll Love It
- Streamlined Shopping: No more navigating back and forth between product variations. Choose your preferred attribute — like thread size, package quantity or finish — directly from the product page.
- Instant Feedback: As soon as you pick your preferred variation, the product details, pricing and availability refresh automatically, ensuring you always have the most accurate information.
How It Works
On any product page, you’ll see dropdown menus or radio buttons for each attribute. Simply make your selections (for example, size, color, package type) and watch the product details update in real time.
