scherr's rta cabinets or other custom rta cabinets
Comments (9)We're in the middle of assembling a Scherr's kitchen now. We had planned on an IKEA/Scherr's combo for a long time, but in the end felt that our tiny kitchen would be best served by going the all-Scherr's route, so we could customize things as needed (and because the closest IKEA is almost 5 hours away). We ordered sample doors (unpainted and two wood types) and went back and forth with Leon, the owner, over the details. When we were finally ready to place an order in late October, the lead time was 10-12 weeks. However, there was a last minute cancellation/delay of an east coast Scherr's project due to Hurricane Sandy, so Leon pushed us up and we got our cabinets in 4 weeks. Cost for our 10x10ish kitchen was a couple thousand more than IKEA and a couple thousand less than a local cabinetmaker (also frameless cabs). As I said, we're still sorting through all of the boxes and assembling cabinets, but communication and customer service have been great so far....See MoreRTA cabinet boxes only?
Comments (9)Catbuilder, I probably could do that, but assembling the RTA cabinets that I'm looking at just requires a screwdriver. If my friend does the cutting & such, we would have to drill the holes for doors & drawer slides, then they would probably have to be glued up & I'm not confident that I could get them square. I've assembled a lot of furniture though, and I am confident of that part. Plus, its really a matter of being able to afford his time. The materials are not expensive at all. I looked at Barker. I guess I need to call and ask how to order without doors and drawer fronts, because there doesn't seem to be a way to do that on their website. Sophie, I'm not going to have any more money later. I know that what I want is considered high end, and I am not complaining that my friend needs to make a living. I just can't afford to pay him to do the part I can probably do by myself. I am hoping I can afford to have him do the face frames and door/drawer fronts & the installation (which I can help with). If not, I will probably go with a full-overlay. Right now though, I'm still trying to figure out a way to get what I want and still be able to afford a countertop to put on top of the cabinets. ;-) Little Monkey, I did think about building them myself. I probably will build a few of them, because it would be difficult to get what I want otherwise, but doing the whole thing is a bit overwhelming for me. (See my first comments to Cat Builder.)...See MoreMaplesville Inset RTA Kitchen Cabinets
Comments (0)We ordered these from Build.com for our remodel. They look great, and arrived quickly, and in the box they seem to be decent quality. Price is very good for this look -- a clean modern inset shaker. I am not finding much in the way of reviews, however, so wanted to see if anyone else had experience with this brand....See MoreRTA Beaded Inset Kitchen Cabinets
Comments (1)I can't speak to other options but we went the Cabinet Joint/Conestoga route for our kitchenand pantry and 10+ years later are highly satisfied with the quality. We subsequently ordered custom panels for a linen closet and our family room built ins. I would suggest you post any layout plans for input from the kitchen forums. Good luck!...See Morelogansmum
