Has anyone heard of Kountry Wood Products for kitchen Cabinets?

http://www.kountrywood.com/

So I've been searching for kitchen cabinets and came upon this American cabinet company from Indiana. I found them for a fairly good price at a local large cabinet warehouse/ show room in los angeles.

I would get a 9 x 9 galley kitchen for about $3000 in shaker (they call it Georgetown Coffee)

I haven't found much info on them online so I was wondering if anyone knows about them or about American cabinet brands?

Here's some info about them:

since 1998

i realize this is a very old thread but we have kountry cabinets from a rehab job that was done before we moved in in 2011 - and based on this post date, we've been using them for 7+ years without issues. sure, they chip IF you hit them with something accidentally, but overall they are decent! not high end - just decent.

i would use them again. i don't see the benefit in high-end cabinetry honestly.

attached is a REALLY old picture of our kitchen - just before move-in...

Hi

I have not heard of them, however a 9x9 galley kitchen is not very many cabinets around 6 or 7 so that is not a good price!

I am also shopping for cabinets and have had several bids. working with kitchen designers at Home depot. lowes and menards. There are so many choices out there. I recently heard about Ikea kitchens, normally I would say oh yuk, however I went to my local Ikea and was quite impressed with the displays. It is a different look but an option.

Did you purchase cabinets from Kountry Wood? I can't find a review any where.

Has anyone used ready to assemble (RTA) Kitchen cabinets

You have gotten confused on the details of the cabinets you were looking at online as rta the face frames are 3/4 thick and the plywood boxes are 1/2 thick. I own and operate a kitchen and bath store in orlando. I specialize in the affordable products as well as having high end products to offer. I often wonder about those that post on here as to why RTA is not considered more. I can ship out directly to anywhere in the US 75 different RTA cabines that are assembled by the company that stocks them before they are put on the truck! You do not even have to put them together. I also have several domestic brands that are in the same price range. Many do not even use cam locks any more they are to be glued and stapled like most domestic brands are that are not in the Wode Mode business model as cabinet makers. I have one brand that ships out assembled with a lifetime warranty. They even do inset door styles that everyone seems to want on here. I have another brand that imports 60" wide by 66" wood hoods with raised panel arch vallance over the cook top and pull out spice racks in the towers. They are not as nice as stanici but they are not the cost either. Both have their place in society. I offer out of my store 20' of cabinetry in any configuration with 30" 36" or 42" wall cabinets with crown and light rail 10 level 1 granite stones to chose from removal of exsisting kitchen, installation of new kitchen and appliances painting of the kitchen area and any knobs you want from my supplier which has 25,000 different ones for $7,000-$10,500 I have inset door styles, flat slab bamboo, raised panels, applied moldings, painted cabinets, glazes, shakers, no name I have at least 1 of everything some will be looking for. When I am done with their kitchen only someone in the industry will be able to tell if the cabinets are imports most of the time. The trade offf is you are dealing with in stock product. No 2 companies stock the exact same cabinet list. It is just the nature of the beast. You can be a smart shopper and find the best price that gives you what you like or you can go for brand name recognition for bragging rights when compnay is over and conviently forget to tell your friends you look wealthy but have no retirement funds cause you buy everything on name brand to feel more important. RTA will not suit everyone but the truth is it fits most Beaver Cleaver neighborhoods very well. Which is where most of americans live that can afford to remodel thier kitchen

has anyone had their kitchen cabinets refaced?
Q
Comments (11)
I only changed a small section of my kitchen cabinets (wanted to get rid of kitchen desk area) but wanted to keep my old great quality (but ugly) cabinets. I found a local cabinetmaker who was willing to build me the new section of cabinets, new doors and drawer fronts for the old cabinets, and reface all to match. The old cabinets are oak and oak veneer and I wanted a dark dark cherry. The new cabinet section is solid cherry. Unlike what I've read so often on this forum, my guy actually makes his own doors and drawers. He also showed me the cherry veneers he used for the old cabinets. no contact paper here. real cherry sides placed on sides of cabs and all frame elements (including inside the doors) in a more flexible veneer, but still real cherry wood. I think it looks fantastic. My kitchen has about 33 linear feet of cabinets....most of it has uppers except for the window area and the penninsula. It was only about 6500 dollars, including the new section. To me, this is a lot of money. But certainly way cheaper than all new cabs...not to mention the fact that all new cabs would be such a waste, given that my old ones are so solid. I would try to find local people who do kitchen refacing, or you could order the doors and veneer online and DIY.

Has anyone heard of brand 'Quality' for cabinets?
Q

I have the custom Quality ones and they are excellent. I found them locally four years ago while looking for elegant white cabinets similar to those I had seen at Clive Christensen's in NYC on Madison Ave, and which are featured in the high end magazines. The CC cabinets would have cost me $75,000 - before installation costs, plus their $10,000 paint job. I got virtually the same thing for $36,000 already painted and they look exactly like the CC ones, except for the little CC on the knobs which I can live without. I forget what installation was, but add another 3-4,000 probably. I was thrilled by how nice they were and am still very pleased.

Has anyone heard of prefab cabs that are only 22' deep?!
Q

You can get bathroom cabinets that depth. I did it several years ago from Marsh cabinets. I HAD a catalog, although it was old it would have given me the measurements. It's hiding from me right now. The cabinet I got wasn't top of the line but it was a nice cabinet. It worked just fine and looked great in my bathroom. If I remember right, it didn't come with a shelf; I put one in, but maybe other cabinets had one. I would look there for starters. And be forwarned. Shipping will likely be as much as the cabinet. But when you are against a brick wall ya do what ya gotta do. It might still be a manageable $$ total. Here is a link that might be useful: this might be it

Kountry Wood was the "value" offering at a design store here in Mich called the Kitchen Shop-there are a few of their design centers scattered in this area. I thought the product was good -liked the finish. They are Amish made. Because of the presence of a complete design and install center handling them, I know they would work for the price point maybe better than other cheaper cabinet lines where customer service can be a hassle to correct things or tweak something in the plan/etc. Now I have just looked and see that the Kitchen Shop has dropped them and picked up Waypoint and Wolf cabinets-never heard of them. KountryWood is still in operation...looks like they have streamlined their offerings-just maple, oak, and cherry. I believe they had birch and hickory previously. What I notice is some interesting stain options on maple and a white paint....some dark stains for oak. Other cheaper cabinets I don't think would present you with the finish they give you and now stain offerings to boot. Might be good. If you have a design center handling them it might be a good end product for a lower investment in your cabinets while ending up with a good durable product. I felt the door finishes when handling/looking at them were superior to Ikea. But Ikea has certain aspects that make it desirable as well.

I'm using the cabinets in a new construction speculative home. I decided this morning not to go with Kountry Wood. I only found two reviews online which seems odd to me and I had to dig for them. Makes me wonder if they have somebody remove comments? Both were negative but could't find any positive comments either. I'm doing painted white so to help save money, I'm going to purchase off the shelf, paint grade crown, light rail, skins, legs and toe kick and have my painter spray them. I'm going with Schrock Cabinets. I may try the Kountry Wood on an inexpensive flip but can't take the risk on new construction.

I bought a vanity for our bathroom 1 years ago. The finish is already chipping away on all the door and drawer fronts. I called and they had the service and warranty director come out. He said it was wear and tear, (after only one year and mind you i take very good care of them). They made every excuse to put the blame on me. They do not hold up to their warranty. ave your money and time and buy from someone else.

We just did a very expensive bathroom remodel and we chose Kountry Wood Cabinets. Worse decision ever! We chose their Vanderburgh in a painted white finish. The drawer and door quality was really bad so much we had them make them again. the 2nd set was worse than the first set. Due to timing we chose to install the cabinet frames and work out the details alter to prevent delaying other subs. On a positive note the customer service has been great but they are limited on what they can do. Buyer beware

It's probably yet another of my "old lady" hangups, but I immediately mistrust any company that goes with "cutesy" spelling of words, and "Kountry" absolutely qualifies as "cutesy" or actually "disgusting".

Regrets regrets! Sold to us by a contractor boosting business for a local kitchen design company. Grossly overpriced (perhaps upcharge by kitchen design company) and low quality. Installed with broken drawers, cracks, chips, unsightly seams, and drab white color. @gregvasil it certainly appears that reviews are being removed. BUYER BEWARE.

@Judi Gaines. That really stinks that you spent good money only to receive an inferior product. A kitchen remodel is something to be excited about, not end in disappointment.
