Design Dilemma Kitchens

J&K Cabinet Match

Donna Pasquarelli

2 months ago

We are in the middle of a tight budget remodel and are unhappy with a countertop cabinet configuration. We purchased from J&K due to budget issues but they do not have the size cabinet we need to finish our project. Has anyone used a custom cabinet maker to match existing cabinetry? We realize this will add to our cost but we want it to look right. We need a 24w 18h 12d wall cabinet shaker white.

Could you use a narrower cabinet and add some filler?

You have provided no context that would explain the conditions you have.

Cabinets from China, huh?

You'll need to at least get the door/s from JC. A good carpenter will be able to retrofit a cabinet depending on the material available. You'll NEVER GET A COLOR MATCH from another cabinet shop and they'd be crazy to help you because the odds of success are against them.

Thinking of having my kitchen remodeled by Wood Cabinet Factory. They are quoting J&K Cabinets Premium Collection. Has anyone heard of these cabinets? Any good or bad experience with Wood Cabinet Factory?

We used J&K in our last house in our master bath remodel and we loved them. They were very nice quality for the price, and the installation was easy. We had a raised panel door with a mahogany stain, and they were beautiful.

I know this thread is old, but for those that find it looking for direction, I'll give my experiences. I did Conestoga for my own remodel. It was an extensive and very very customized order. $22k, from Home Depot it was $32k. Lowes wouldn't even quote it, the plan was so custom. Every cabinet was individually designed to look like a piece of furniture with legs. I have no run of cabinets anywhere, each section is separate with finished sides. I couldn't have been happier with the value, quality, look, and cost. I LOVE my kitchen. The finish on these are impeccable, smooth as silk and the maple stained and glaze is absolutely beautiful. A couple years later I remodeled my daughter's kitchen and used them again. We ordered cherry wood and I regret it. The look was good, but the wood was not quality and I had 2 pieces snap in half during install. Also, several issues with the ordering process. If you go Conestoga with lots of customizing, be prepared to spend quite a bit of time making sure the order is correct. Recently I did a rental house with RTA cabs from a place I found online. I didn't expect much for $2500, but was impressed! They were nicely done and while not very customized, the quality was on par with Conestoga! I think it was rtaonline.com

It looks like they make this size cabinet with a glass panel door. It would probably be easier and more cost-effective to get this cabinet and just replace the glass with an mdf panel. Take it to the paint store for a color/finish match.

Beverly-I can get the box made I just can’t find the doors. I have a cabinet stack on a counter that cannot exceed 90 inches. My original plan was 2 small drawers stacked with a 36inch upper. It didn’t look right once we got the cabinets in the space. The best solution is a 36 inch upper with an 18 in on top of it. That way it blends with the 18inch over the fridge that it is adjacent to.

Kristin- I was at the warehouse just today and they don’t have the 18inx24 with the glass doors even though it’s in the catalog. That was my first thought of a solution.

Look at their drawer fronts on a 3 drawer base, 18" Wide. You might get lucky.This is the size of KraftMaid's bottom drawer: RDW1812 12 x 17 5/8” . You could get two and convert them to doors. I have actually done this before. You'll need someone who can drill out the hinge pocket. My installer has that tool whatever it is. Or rig up some other kind of hinge.
