I can't answer from personal experience, however, a friend who sometimes posts here is very fond of Amish Gold. His description is that the flavor is unique and highly desirable for salsa and for fresh eating. I agree that seed are expensive, that is tomatofest. DarJones

I had a full custom kitchen from Oxford cabinet shop, I did NOT get the MDF slip up from them. I got maple with a glaze finish inset cabinets. However, the reason why I got other cabinet doors was to correct doors I was not happy with from Oxford cabinet shop. I am a particular person, and wall with these doors bowed a bit and I should have just left them alone for what I went through afterwards. I spent so much time and money trying to correct a pair because my stain color came out more gold than bamboo so color didn't match, second round doors had two panels of bead board than my three panels. No one explained it would be tricky to match, just took my money. They tired of me quickly. Amish are good at structures, not fine details. I was very happy with my bath cabinets. About stainable quality verses paintable, stain type wood should have a consistent overall appearance, paintable wood is less because you will see a diiffernce where they butt up against one another, darker sections. Yes, a few doors of mine fell in the category of paintable quality. Fly markings was another issue, depends on time of year, barns are close to workshops. Big manufactures can afford to spend on high tech equipment. Just paid for 2nd house small kitchen for a lower budget 20% off ( runs few times a year) 10x10 Home Depot Thomasville Studio 1904 new line, 36" super Susan, built in double wood utility drawer etc. Paradise Kitchens have great reputation.

Thanks for pointing that out! I scanned the titles of threads and misread that title! I don't know if this thread can be closed, but if it cannot, please direct all replies to the thread linked in Ginny20's post!

Yes, we went to Detweiler's on Atkinson Road in Albany. They have a display there and their cabinets are very nice. They are actually made in Napanee Indiana and delivered here. There is also another cabinet maker by the name of Horst, on route 231. I think it is 231 anyway. Will have to check that out with DH. His cabinets are made on site. He originally is from Pennsylvania and has been in the cabinet business for many years. I have no idea on pricing though. Our laundry room cabinets were made in southern Illinois and were quite reasonable.
