Kitchen Cabinets - Cliq Studios vs. Medallion
Comments (6)I do not have either Medallion Silverline or Cliq Studios, I say that as a caveat. I recently went through a similar exercise for my cabinet selection process, my goal was frameless full overlay or frameless with slab doors and drawer fronts- I have a slightly modern aesthetic. I evaluated 5 companies; Medallion(can't recall which line), DesignCraft(frameless made by Medallion's parent company Elkay AKA Innermost, Dynasty, Brookhaven, and custom. If I evaluated only the spec sheets, I would have gone with Dynasty and been unhappy. I learned that in addition to evaluating the specs, you need to evaluate the offerings. Dynasty could only offer my a top drawer with a 3.5 inch depth, this is the depth of the bottom of the drawer box to the bottom of the frame rail. This is different from the depth of the drawer box itself. If I put a tiered spice rack in that drawer my favorite brand of spices(Simply Organic) would not fit. The depth of all their drawers became a non-starter for me. They wasted alot of space that I couldn't afford to waste. I urge you to go further into the details before you make a choice....See MoreMedallion Cabinets from Menards VS Haas Cabinets
Comments (5)We have Haas cabinets at the beach house, put in by the builder. I'm sure they are the least expensive Haas had on offer. They look nice, but the drawer glides are those really cheap kind that install on the side of the drawer and have a nylon wheel. Also, the stile in the middle of the 30" cabinet is 4" wide. As a result, the pullouts (two up, two down) are only 8" wide. Result: 16" width of storage space in a 30" cabinet. It bugs me every time I open it. Maybe Haas has a higher quality line, but I would buy Medallion if I were you. I've heard nothing but good things about them. Oh...I have seen (and heard from others here) that Medallion cherry can have big knots/holes right in the middle of the door. I actually saw one displayed in a kitchen showroom. It might help to specify that any doors or drawers like that wouldn't be acceptable....See MoreMedallion/Schuler Cabinets vs. Dura Supreme vs. Kraftmaid
Comments (26)Yelena, Although, my kitchen reno is still a work in progress and I can't speak on purchasing an ENTIRE Schular Cappuccino Cherry Kitchen Cabinetry, I'll be happy to share my experience. So far, I can say that I have compared prices, as well as, quality between Yorktowne, Medallion and Merillat Masterpiece. Hands down, Lowe's Schuler Cabinetry was/is the best savings for the same good quality. If I had the budget, need or desire to replace all my cabinetry as part of my Kitchen Renovation project; I would 100% recommend Lowe's Schuler Cabinetry, Cappuccino Cherry! Not to mislead or steer the topic; But my experience with Schuler's Cherry Cappuccino was/is somewhat limited to a fortunate mistake as a result of replacing my old appliances: Which was always part of my original kitchen renovation plans and budget; Including, my backsplash and countertops. In lieu of, keeping my 18 year old Yorktowne, Solid Maple Cabinetry because. my cabinetry was/is in great condition. Asides for the "Spice" stain color, I still love Yorktowne's "Hallmark/Ambrosia" door style and the amount of time spoke for the quality and my experience, By happenstance, my new appliances (Microwave & Oven) didn't fit into my old cabinet space. So, I was force to address the "Spice" stain now that I had to order a new "face front" cabinet. Which ultimately meant, I would be paying to populate the stain color that I never liked or compromise my design and new appliances. Which I felt lead me towards having the best of both worlds; Two-Tone Cabinetry (Paint and Cappuccino Stain) aka: a "fortunate mistake" because Schuler's "SAVANNAH" matches Yorktowne's "Hallmark/Ambrosia" Door Style perfectly and the Cappuccino Stain coordinates well with my new Cafe Matte White and Brush Bronze Kitchen Appliances! Now, if I can only get a response from Rob regard the flooring he used with his Cappuccino Stain Cabinets, Hope this was helpful,...See MoreDecora cabinets vs NAC cabinets?
