Comments (4)I have Crystal and they look nice, but I would absolutely not pay retail for them. I was able to buy them for a little above cost from my lumber yard. They gave me the catalog that showed their list prices and they are beyond ridiculous. the markup is almost laughable. I just don't feel they are worth anymore than I paid for them. I don't know anything about the other cabinets you mentioned so it would be impossible for me to know how Crystal compares....See MoreBrookhaven vs Edgewood vs Crystal
Comments (2)We just put in Crystal cabinets. All lowers, with mostly drawers...a couple of cabinets semi-custom. We ordered them unfinished so we could paint them ourselves. They looked beautiful and seemed sturdy when they arrived...my contractor commented that they looked to be of good quality. That being said, one door had a crack on the back, which the company replaced with no issue (I assume, since the KD at the place we ordered dealt with it). We also didn't notice until after we had a coat of primer on that there was a crack in the face frame of the sink cabinet...ugh. We talked with our contractor who didn't think it would at all affect the structure of the cabinet, it was just an aesthetics thing. This may have been a mistake, but we ended up keeping the cabinet and having the KD let the cabinet company know, should something go further wrong. Formaldehyde-free was very important to me. I obviously can't speak to longevity, though, since they've only been in about a month. And this is the first set of cabs we've ever ordered, so not sure if the cracks happen frequently with other cabs, or if there truly is a quality issue here. We spent about $4500 for 8 base cabinets: mostly drawer bases, two semi-custom; one undercounter oven cab; two thin tray cabs; and a sink base. They were unfinished, sanded maple, framed inset with full extension/soft close glides (don't think they are Blum)....See MoreCrystal vs. Brookhaven Cabinets
Comments (6)I have my Crystal Cabinets, but they are not installed. I peeked into some of the boxes and I am so happy!! I live in Minnesota and visited the Crystal Factory where the cabinets are built. I saw some incredible cabinets!! I really liked the fact they are truly custom. I designed my range hood with different mouldings and appliques. The motto at Crystal is if you can dream it, they can build it. I dont know how to post pics, but I will put attach a link so you can see some of what I have. The two door styles that I used are French Country square and Grandview. I didn't look at Brookhaven, only Woodmode so I can't offer an opinion on the Brookhaven. Here is a link that might be useful:...See MoreMouser vs Crystal Cabinets
Comments (11)Does anyone know how much of the cabinet price is the actual amount to the cabinet maker and how much goes to the KD? I read in the one post that a 65K cabinet price is actually about 30k to the cabinet maker. Is this true? That means about half is to the cabinet maker and the other half is to the kitchen designer. Does this also apply if you go with a KD that is part of a building supply store?...See Moresaz1
