Any LA's Drbud experiences? Good Seller?
Comments (2)I've only purchased from Drbud once on the LA, and it was a great experience. The seller notified me that the plant I won (Berry Patch) had been damaged when he tried to dig it up, so he let me have my choice of replacement plant. He sent me two healthy fans of the replacement, plus a nice bonus, and the damaged Berry Patch, which grew like gangbusters. Terrific seller, and great communication....See MoreRTA (ready to assemble) vanities: any experience good, bad or ?
Comments (10)Thanks everyone. Well, I found out that J & K cabinets (a large RTA cabinet distributor) had a local dealer not too far from me, (Global Home Products in Beltsville, MD) so I called them and they actually had the size and color vanity I wanted in stock. The price was $199, and assembly was only $10, for an all wood, painted white shaker style vanity. Even the center panel on the doors was solid wood --a true reverse raised panel (almost every RTA cabinet seems to use MDF for the center panel!) The cheapest, similar, special order cabinet from Home Depot or Lowes would have been between $300-400 (American Woodmark or Kraftmaid, etc.) I checked with Barker cabinets (an American made semi-custom RTA cabinet) and they were quite expensive in comparison. When I got to the dealer, I was surprised to see what a large showroom they had and how busy they were, even on a weekday afternoon. I believe that all their cabinet lines were RTA, and they had very good prices. The display kitchens and vanities looked very nice. The place seemed to be run mainly by Chinese people, ( a little hard to understand their accents, but very nice and helpful) so I imagine they don't have any problems communicating directly with those factories that make their cabinets over in China if they need to! Anyway--I'm glad that I had them put the cabinet together, as when they opened the box there was some minor damage to the face frame part. So they used the face frame off the identical vanity that was on their showroom floor and were able to assemble my vanity. It does look gorgeous--esp. the doors. Even the back is solid plywood with wood bracing. I suppose that makes it more sturdy, but it will be more work for my husband to drill holes for the plumbing. Hope this helps someone else who might be wondering about RTA cabinets....See MoreComfort Line Fiberframe fiberglass windows- any experiences?

Comments (7)I had a whole long explanation about differences typed out, and then Houzz lost it. It boils down to, not knowing your budget, for me if the cost of upgrading to the soft close from the epoxy glides in the Junior line was being charged at less than 5%, that would be worth it. ($500 on a 10K Design.) That is an easy click in the software to give you an immediate cost difference. If the cost difference approaches 10%, that is when it is worth exploring what the costs would be in the full line, as I think it would get you an overall better result for the same or a bit more money. But if you are asking for a redesign in the full line, you should be willing to commit to a design retainer with the company, so they can be assured that you are committing to go with one or the other. There are also cost cutting strategies that any good designer can give you if the full line price is out of reach to you. (Fewer larger cabinets instead of more smaller cabinets, skins instead of integrated flush ends, different crown molding combinations, aftermarket accessories, etc) But you won’t get a lot of work and suggestions without a commitment....See MoreUser
