Oh yes, it’s *well* worth the construction build quality difference, assembly method difference, and most especially, the finish quality difference. Forevermark is low end stuff. Only a 5 year warranty. Diamond has a lifetime warranty. Diamond is a great mid grade option that will last.

Well done Melissa! I was so hoping you’d wait for a total re-do and remove the soffit. Looks amazing already! Hey, don’t worry about furniture. I didn’t have anything other than hand me downs for 15 years. We also had 3 kids under 5 and I had amazing times with them and that stuff. They remember the fun, not the ugly sofa.

The cost quotes directly correlates to quality. I would not even consider most everything on your list. Diamond is the lowest acceptable quality of what you are listing. You should look at Kitchencraft and Omega Full Access both. Both are frameless which will give you 20% more storage in the same space. Both will be slightly better than the lower level Diamond line that you were quoted. And there’s a better quality Diamond line than you were quoted too. The industry warranty on mid grade cabinet lines is a lifetime. If they are treated properly, there is no reason that you won’t get decades of wear out of them.

Looking for objective kitchen cabinet reviews. I’m looking for good mid priced cabinets.
