I'm anxiously awaiting my order to be delivered the
end of the month. I chose the Alectra line in the
white oak veneer. It is stunning; I've seen it
elsewhere. Also I love the upper cabinets with
doors that swing upward, but they have the traditional
kind too. Anyway, I'm really excited by this line of cabinetry.

We are very pleased with the quality of our durasupreme cabinetry.

There were a few small issues (a couple of doors had the wrong angle on the corners, one end panel had poor finish, little things like that) but the factory was very quick to replace the faulty pieces.

We have mainly drawers for our lower cabinets and they are very well made, we have them stuffed full of dishes and cast iron.

As you can see, we have very simple contemporary slab doors, so I don't know how well they do on more traditional/ornate styles, but I am super picky and these are so very well made cabinets.

DuraSupreme Cabinets/Lumber Yard Cabinets?
Q

From my end I have in the past worked in "small town lumberyards". The ones I worked in both sold Kitchen Cabinets, several different lines and qualities. If you have a real lumberyard with good knowledgeable people staffing it then yes by all means look into purchasing cabinets from them. A lot of yards these days belong to buying groups and can get pretty dam good deals on many many products. However if the people that staff the yard are not knowledgeable then not so much.......

Budget is the number one for me. Next was functionality. For example, I went and looked at all the cabinet lines with their construction so that I could list out what they provide for the bucks. I also took my dishes with me to figure out if they will work with my planned use. For example, Decora was ok but not optimal because the top drawer was useless at 3" height. I might be wrong on the line as it's been a year. I looked at the depths of the upper cabinets to make sure they would fit what I need them to. I was used to 13" deep inside and many lines were o my 10-11". This means they don't fit plates. I didn't ask for quotes until I decided on a particular line. If the looks is all you need then a list of pros and cons for the money is your best bet.

Dover Woods Custom vs. Signature Custom Cabinetry vs. Dura Supreme

I purchased cabinets from Signature Custom Cabinets in Ephrata, PA. If this is the same company I would say my experience was exceptional. I worked with a designer who did all the plans and specs in 2018. Once order was placed we were given a delivery date and they came as planned (note I live less than 45 miles from Ephrata). The quality is very good. I have both painted and stained cabinets. Painted cabinets are not showing any cracks which is something I have seen with some other brands. I wipe them down with mild soap and water. As an FYI everyone thing is soft close, under sides finished to match paint or stain. I have one cabinet with glass doors that is stained but finished the inside with the paint color. Nice thing about the signature company they have a good selection of wood types to select from. As for cost they were more than some semi custom cabinets but by using custom cabinets we were able to maximum the space to achieve the necessary storage. Note before doing the kitchen I used them for a bathroom with painted cabinets. They are also holding up well.

I wanted to go with the Alectra, but while SO and I both like contemporary, I am more about sleek and European and he is more about natural woods without fussiness, so we compromised and went for solid wood slab doors.

Our kitchen is still a work in progress, but hopefully we will decide on hardware and backsplash tile and how to deal with the lighting oops soon:)

I have a friend who is a very successful KD who owns her own business. She has handled Woodmode and Brookhaven for many years but recently added the Durasupreme line. She worked with this line earlier in her career and thought it was a good product. She wanted another line that was more affordable but that still offered frameless cabinetry with a lot of custom options not available in the Brookhaven line. I'd consider this a very strong recommendation based on what I know of her work.

Last summer we did our kitchen with dura supreme and we love everything about it! In fact we are about to start our vacation home kitchen and will most likely use dura supreme there.

Sorry but I am not so skilled at pictures.... We recently finished a remodel and chose durasupreme. I looked at several brands and did quite a bit of research. Overall, we have been extremely pleased. They seem very sturdy and look great. We did a glazed white and have been happy with it. One of the features that was very important to me was that they come standard (no upcharge) in 39". This is apparently unusual. They drawers are all full extension, self close. I have a good friend who ownes a kitchen design store and that is what he put in his home.
