I am having my Shenandoah Breckinridge Bordeaux cabinets installed right now!!!

I liked the Loews KD in our area, and the installer they use is well known for good work. So I'm happy with that.

I liked the cabinet tracker website. I could see when they were scheduled for manufacture, delivery to frieght company and when the frieght company would contact me. Went like clockwork and everything arrived really well packaged, no dents, dings or defects.

I'll let you know tomorrow how they look installed.

I have Shenandoah Cabinetry, installed Spring of 2008, in the Winchester style with the mocha glaze. My kitchen is a small galley so it's hard to get a direct view of it, but perhaps this will help.

We were looking at the Spice (original choice) but thought this finish made it look a bit ritzier or not so plain.

I don't have the hang of this posting multiple pix (rarely do) so I'll make this a 2 post reply. sorry!

Here is a link that might be useful:

here's the 2nd post/pix of my cabinet.

I do have a plain Jane kitchen (this really was a spur of moment decision in middle of remodel-we really weren't going to touch the kitchen) that may have an effect on your decision.

I do get alot of compliments on the cabinets-in fact my contractor ordered some for himself!

Thanks for sharing the pictures. They look really nice. Now I'm torn. The glazed cabinets I saw at Lowe's did not come out as well, which is why I was thinking of going to the plainer spice color.

rose mary,
we do have a door that appears that stain ran down it (streaked). I questioned our kd at Lowe's about and she said-return it. They(the cabinet maker) won't have a problem replacing it. But we were so burned out from our complete home remodel-we never got to it and now it doesn't bother me (it's on a bottom cabinet).

Lowe's should have a cabinet door or sample in the mocha glaze (maybe not the style) for you to take home and put with your flooring, counter,appliances in your lighting. That what really swayed us towards the glaze- in our lighting, it looked better.

As for the stain not coming out right, you should be able to return pieces if they don't meet your expectations. Just ask a kd there. (I will also add one who you are comfortable with-we dealt, at first, not a real nice one but ended up with a jewel of kd).

We're going with Home Depot's American Woodcraft but are buying them for our bathroom. We needed 6 units and w/20% off the price, they can't be beat. From all the comments I've read, the conclusion was, quality is good, they're just limited on the bells and whistles. So economically, they're a really good choice. We've chosen the mocha glaze in maple.

As far as the KD goes, I wouldn't pass on the deal just because you didn't care for the KD(s). Most areas have several Home Depots and/or Lowes that are close enough to still be considered convenient, if you're not happy with the KD at one store, you can either make an appointment with another KD from the store you like or try a different store all together. You'll find the same 20% off at both stores & the products are idential.

I have Shenandoah cabinets and love them. I think they are
Winchester honey maple. Very good quality. I wasn't happy with
a door (just the way the stain looked) and they immediately replaced it free.

Just finishing the kitchen remodel with Shenandoah cabinets & so far am loving them. No problems on delivery, the cabinet tracker is excellent, & my installer had no problems putting them in. I got the Grove in Hickory Spice & have nothing but compliments on them.The cushion close feature is a must!! So far, very happy with them, but they have only been in a week!
