Anyone have a Dura Supreme linen white kitchen?

6 years ago

I'm struggling to decide between Dura Supreme's linen white vs. painted white cabinets. If you have the linen white, I'd love to see your pictures. Thanks in advance for your help!

We are getting Dura Supreme's linen white installed right now. It's much creamier than I expected, but my husband is not a fan of stark white, so it was our next best option. I'm not sure what I think of it yet---the color changes dramatically with the lighting. Let me know if you're still on the fence, and I can post pics when the install is complete.

Thank you so much! We are not on the fence anymore but I would love to see your kitchen. I am in quite a predicament now. I worked hard to make all my choices and make corrections to the kitchen designer's plan. It seems like she is so busy. It takes her a while to get back to me with things sometime,s so now we are at the point of holding off until after Thanksgiving and Christmas. I am not crazy about getting a hard wood floor installed in the winter (as well as mine new cabs) but looks like that's what is going to happen. Anyway, looks like we will be getting White painted. Are you cabinets the new hdf? I am now focused on that. Those doors are quite heavy and I hope they work out. I WOULD STILL LOVE TO SEE YOUR BEAUTIFUL KITCHEN!! Please post :)

I've installed both stained (cherry wood, dark stain) and painted (maple, light gray). The dark stained cabinets are installed in a master bath. They knick very easily. A friend suggested I purchase some Mohawk wood pencils that are used by furniture refinishers to touch up furniture. I'm going to try that. The touch-up kit that came with the cabinets is similar to a bottle of finger nail polish, and I don't think it looks good when painted on the cabinet. The painted cabinets looked beautiful when they arrived, but after installation I noted 56 scratches, dings, and spots where the paint knicked off. The wood seems very soft, and I am really concerned at how the finish will wear in a kitchen area that gets a lot of traffic. Our kitchen is pretty small, maybe 12*15. They are very sturdy cabinets and built well - there is some inconsistency is door and drawer sizes so some areas look a little off, like a set of drawers in which one drawer is slightly longer than another, or two cabinet doors that shut, but one is slightly longer than the other. I did not purchase custom cabinets, but I haven't had this issue with similar renovations in previous homes.

We are very pleased with the quality of our durasupreme cabinetry. There were a few small issues (a couple of doors had the wrong angle on the corners, one end panel had poor finish, little things like that) but the factory was very quick to replace the faulty pieces. We have mainly drawers for our lower cabinets and they are very well made, we have them stuffed full of dishes and cast iron. As you can see, we have very simple contemporary slab doors, so I don't know how well they do on more traditional/ornate styles, but I am super picky and these are so very well made cabinets.

Budget is the number one for me. Next was functionality. For example, I went and looked at all the cabinet lines with their construction so that I could list out what they provide for the bucks. I also took my dishes with me to figure out if they will work with my planned use. For example, Decora was ok but not optimal because the top drawer was useless at 3" height. I might be wrong on the line as it's been a year. I looked at the depths of the upper cabinets to make sure they would fit what I need them to. I was used to 13" deep inside and many lines were o my 10-11". This means they don't fit plates. I didn't ask for quotes until I decided on a particular line. If the looks is all you need then a list of pros and cons for the money is your best bet.
