I don't know about Crystal or Edgewood, but Brookhaven probably beats out Medallion quality-wise, not that Medallion is not a nice cabinet. In between Brookhaven and Medallion is Omega/Dynasty....we just put in Dynasty cabinets and they are beautiful, am very happy with them...contractor thought they were very well made also.

I would imagine the biggest difference is in the depth (up & down) of drawers since frameless don't have the stiles across. On my bank of Brookhaven (frameless) four drawers, the top drawer is shallowest at about 3.5" deep. The next two drawers are about 4" and the bottom is about 9.5" deep. They are 19.75" front to back, and on a 23" wide custom cab, the width is about 19 7/8", so I suppose a regular 24" cab would be 20 7/8" on the inside. I really can't vouch for the accuracy of the top drawer depth, but on the three drawer bank, the depth of the bottom two drawers is 10.25". The sides and back do not go all the way up, but that hasn't been a problem. Full extension drawers are definitely worth having. We don't have soft close which I don't regret. But full extension means full use, and I wish that I had that feature on every single drawer in the house. What a difference!

I have Brookhaven and would get them again (love the framelss). I got them because they were one of the few available in frameless that we could find at the time, the finish was finer than most, the value was good, we could mix with Woodmode cabinets and features and in all my searching, I didn't find any significant problems or complaints with Brookhaven. I'm not clear if the Kitchen Craft are also frameless or framed. If they are framed, there may be a visual difference and you may prefer one over the other. If you have framed cabinets with a full overlay, they will look similar. Framed will also have part of the cabinet box covered by the frame -- similar to the way a photo will have an edge covered by the mat or frame. That can make it more difficult to access your cabinet space or use it fully -- and it in my old cabinets, it made a huge difference in the drawers I had. Going with frameless cabinets really helped get better use of our space, which was important since we could not change the footprint. If the Kitchen Kraft are framed, I'd definitely go with Brookhaven. Oh, Brookhaven has 13" deep uppers standard -- and that can be just enough difference to get larger plates or bowls, one more row of glasses, etc in your cabinets.

I spent a lot of time comparing and contrasting Ultracraft with Innermost during my frameless cabinet review. I think Fergusons was surprised I returned so frequently to check their Ultracraft display. Opening and shutting drawers, checking their gliding, going over interior finish, feeling the finish. Ultracraft would have had my contract except for three things: -I noticed the pull split the wood of a front drawer. I asked about it, and they said it was just a display. Things happen, and perhaps it was an accident, but it made me wonder if when mine would be installed, they would split the drawer like that. -They had three whites, none of which were just right for me. The finish was more matte like than satin like. -Their price came in higher and was non-negotiable. I chose Innermost (Elkay Cabinetry) painted frameless and am very satisfied. All cabinets came in without any imperfections which i found amazing for painted (they are also conversion varnish, btw). All interior birch was similar and nicely done, without knots and edging well matched. All painted interiors were done nicely, but regrettably, on the thee 42" tall glass cabinets with mullions, the middle hinges on the box sits right over the glass door mullion, so your shelf must go either above or below the hinge. This makes the shelves not all aligned with the mullions as most competitive cabinet manufacturers have, and aesthetically the way it is suppose to be. I had asked about this prior to order, and am displeased. I'm working with Elkay on a remedy: my suggestion is four $3 Blum hinges on each door side, thus permitting the glass door mullions and inside box shelves to line up with each other. I have two original built in mullion glass cabinets in my dining room and was trying to integrate the look in the kitchen with the connected dining room. It's Elkay's satin paint finish I just marvel at: just a bit of sheen, no plastic offensive look or feel, and it's very durable and easy to keep clean. I love it! I think either Ultracraft or Innermost are very nice choices. I just had a few important particulars that swayed me towards Innermost, one being their paint finish. You do have more space with frameless. This post was edited by SparklingWater on Fri, May 2, 14 at 17:31
