I'm going through a kitchen remodel & expansion in Bay Area, CA. When we signed our contract with our GC, we didn't know that his company only allows us to choose from Wellborn and Midcontinent for cabinets. Problem is, we now have to decide which one to go with. We'd like plywood, painted finish cabinets with detailing, but Wellborn's running in the 44k range and Midcontinent is 33k (for a 300 sq ft kitchen). Are these reasonable quotes for custom cabinets? I'm shocked at how much cabinets cost these days! Costco's cabinets (not painted, but plywood) run in the 10k range but I guess we're stuck with Wellborn or Midcontinent. Does anyone have one of these cabinet brands? Do you love your cabinets?

did you reach out to the contractor that did the work? They are the ones that should follow up and get replacement parts for you. I have been selling Wellborn Forest Cabinets for 30 years and they have had their ups and downs, but they have always taken care of any issues any of my customers have ever had. I have Wellborn Forest Cabinets in my house for almost 10 years now and they look as good today as they looked wnen they were installed. All the drawers are as smooth as silk, the doors have never needed to be adjusted after initial adjustment, which should be done as part of the installation. I read alot of complaints that are unfounded about this cabinet company and it isn't fair to them. I sell thousands of Wellborn Forest cabinets and the isuues are few and far between, and most of the time they are shipping or installation issues and are replaced no questions asked when I submit claims. Wellborn Forest is a top notch A+ better business bureau company and doesn't deserve the bashing that a few unsatisfied people are posting. Most of those are not going through the proper channels to get satisfaction.

I have painted maple Mid Continent in my laundry room and I'm glad I didn't go with them in my kitchen. Granted, they made me sign that I would be able to see the joinery gaps, etc. in the finish (and boy, can I!) but I also have painted maple Shiloh and I don't see any of my joinery in the finish. Mid Continent made me sign a form basically telling me that I would not be happy with the finish whereas Shiloh did not. That should have been a clue. Admittedly, this is a soft white painted finish; maybe other shades are better executed?

Beware!!! Do not order cabinets from Wellborn. We purchased our cabinets in November 2020 and still waiting for the rest of our order. Quality is questionable as well but at this point I just want my kitchen back.
