Thanks for the correction. I Googled around and saw a few complaints about Thomasville laminate cabinets. -They yellowed over time -They were equivalent to thermofoil in many ways -Thomasville was rated the absolute lowest of all cabinet manufacturers in the US at a ratings website. They fell under American Woodmark, Homecrest, Yorktowne and Shenandoah! While I don't 100% trust that website and there aren't enough reviews to support it's stance.....but still, it isn't a medium or highly rated company either. This same site placed KraftMaid over Medallion, which I disagree with....but both companies still had better than average reviews. Also read the reviews on Consumer Affairs on Home Depot...see link below. Home depot really does not want to be in the kitchen business....they know it's over their heads and hard to control/manage. I hear they are testing a new way of running their kitchen dept. where all design will be done at one location for the entire USA. Let's see how that works out for them. You are definitely making the right choice with Shiloh. What was the price difference and how big is your kitchen? Number of cabinets? Just curious! Here is a link that might be useful: consumer affairs

I just have to respond although I can't be of much help. I posted here about a year and a half ago looking for someone who used Woodland, and didn't get a response. We did choose them, and had them installed in April/May of this year. I chose them because I wanted a specific cream finish, and was able to see the cab's in two other finished kitchens my GC had done. I didn't realize it was as high a quality cab as you have listed because I had nothing to compare it to. We had a bid from Medallion/Schular (?spell) from Lowes, and he matched it with Woodland. The quality is awesome and the paint finish is incredible. However, now that it is all said and done, I may have been able to go with a less expensive cab considering the price/size of our home is rather small. The installer said he loved them (even better that a huge $$$ kitchen he was dong elsewhere). I was so worried about getting the color right that I figured that the extra $$ would be worth it. I think our GC made up the difference when we decided to add panals to the exposed lower cab's - they were $$$ for some strange reason, and we were already in too deep to change. Just had to chime in since I hadn't see the Woodland name on here before!

From the Showplace website: Showplace paint grade cabinet doors and five-piece drawer headers have a solid fine-grain hardwood frame. Center panels and slab headers are of Medium Density Fibercore (MDF), which is an engineered wood product. Face frames and moldings are solid hardwood, and painted end panels are hardwood ply. All other construction details are the same as other Showplace cabinetry... I think that 'slab headers' are slab style drawer fronts. If that is the case, I'd personally opt to upgrade to 5 piece top drawers...wood vs mdf. Top drawers, especially, seem to take a beating and are more susceptible to getting splashed on/ wet.

Just wanted to pipe in and say I have Kahle oak cabinets c. 1997 and they have worn like iron. No problems with the finish. No malfunctions of slides, no blown out hinges - everything still works like the day they were installed. Now, ours were their opening grade so no high end slides or hinges, but they work great, smooth, and have lasted under family use all these years with no apparent aging! We got ply boxes, melamine coated interiors (I preferred these for wipe-downs), real oak veneer end surfaces. (Never get the non-wood veneer, as it ages and discolors at a different rate than your natural wood will so will look awful in a few years relative to the real wood surfaces.) Whatever finish they used back then on stained wood was very robust. One great thing about them is they make the SAME things, decades later. I went to a showroom to inquire about a replacement door (2013) and could special order the exact door I needed because they use classic profiles. They were a great value for the pricepoint.
