Brookhaven quote is $15,500

My painted cabinets started chipping almost immediately after the warrantly period ended. Otherwise, I love them and that I was able to get a few custom sized.

Brookhaven has a limited lifetime warranty. The KD I'm working with says Brookhaven has been good about honoring warranty repairs for her customers.

It does have the usual exclusions: abuse, misuse, environmental conditions, improper install, modifications, etc.

Compare the quality of the drawer hardware and hinges with the lower priced options. Ask your dealer if Brookhaven includes drawer pulls/hardware which could save you $300+.

Finally, a 10-15% difference in a preliminary quote is within the margin of error if you've gone to multiple kitchen designers. Hard to say which will be cheapest once the final design is done and all necessary parts have been included in the estimate. When you are down to the last 10-15% I'd go with the KD who has good ideas, listens to you, offers constructive feedback, is patient, and comes across as detail oriented.

Kitchen obsessed - we are looking at wood mode and Brookhaven. Kd says no real difference but your comment on chipping makes me nervous about going with them - I am doing painted white. How many years have you had them? Also is it mdf, plywood or real wood?

I believe Brookhaven now has the limited lifetime warranty the same as WoodMode so maybe KitchenObsesseds warranty was under the old standards? I have read extensively that if doing a painted door to have it over MDF (wood will show cracks over the years). My friend has BH in a wood veneer for over three years and they still look brand new. I am going with the BH frameless in a wood veneer and placing order today! Let's get this show on the road. :)

My sister's painted BH cabinets look beautiful. Her boxes are MDF.
