Has anyone used ready to assemble (RTA) Kitchen cabinets
Comments (20)You have gotten confused on the details of the cabinets you were looking at online as rta the face frames are 3/4 thick and the plywood boxes are 1/2 thick. I own and operate a kitchen and bath store in orlando. I specialize in the affordable products as well as having high end products to offer. I often wonder about those that post on here as to why RTA is not considered more. I can ship out directly to anywhere in the US 75 different RTA cabines that are assembled by the company that stocks them before they are put on the truck! You do not even have to put them together. I also have several domestic brands that are in the same price range. Many do not even use cam locks any more they are to be glued and stapled like most domestic brands are that are not in the Wode Mode business model as cabinet makers. I have one brand that ships out assembled with a lifetime warranty. They even do inset door styles that everyone seems to want on here. I have another brand that imports 60" wide by 66" wood hoods with raised panel arch vallance over the cook top and pull out spice racks in the towers. They are not as nice as stanici but they are not the cost either. Both have their place in society. I offer out of my store 20' of cabinetry in any configuration with 30" 36" or 42" wall cabinets with crown and light rail 10 level 1 granite stones to chose from removal of exsisting kitchen, installation of new kitchen and appliances painting of the kitchen area and any knobs you want from my supplier which has 25,000 different ones for $7,000-$10,500 I have inset door styles, flat slab bamboo, raised panels, applied moldings, painted cabinets, glazes, shakers, no name I have at least 1 of everything some will be looking for. When I am done with their kitchen only someone in the industry will be able to tell if the cabinets are imports most of the time. The trade offf is you are dealing with in stock product. No 2 companies stock the exact same cabinet list. It is just the nature of the beast. You can be a smart shopper and find the best price that gives you what you like or you can go for brand name recognition for bragging rights when compnay is over and conviently forget to tell your friends you look wealthy but have no retirement funds cause you buy everything on name brand to feel more important. RTA will not suit everyone but the truth is it fits most Beaver Cleaver neighborhoods very well. Which is where most of americans live that can afford to remodel thier kitchen...See MoreHas anyone used DeWills cabinets
Comments (6)Yes, I have DeWils cabinets. Ours are natural cherry in their frameless line (IIRC they call that Horizons). There was a choice of metal drawers or dovetail wood drawers. We got the wood ones. They did a great job! The cabinets all arrived when they were suppose to, packed very well so their condition on arrival was lovely. The order was entirely correct except for one mistake our GC had made in the order and one mistake that was ours. Fortunately, both mistakes only required ordering replacement doors and a drawer front. The replacements arrived within a couple of weeks of ordering them - very prompt. My husband is an amateur woodworker and pretty picky about construction details - he had no complaints. The cabinet construction was quite sturdy - the cabinets didn't rack even when leaning against an individual cabinet before installation. I can see why our GC likes them because that made installation easier. The boxes are plywood of a very good quality (there are lots of grades of plywood). We are very happy with the quality of the finish (another area where my DH can be picky) and we love the grain. It's been a while since I've had occasion to post a picture of the cabinets before installation, as cheril says, many threads with pictures of the installed cabinets will come up if you do a search on my name: Mostly we used their standard cabinet box sizes, but our over fridge and oven cabinets were custom height. We customized most of the drawer heights to get exactly the storage we wanted....See MoreBuilding cabinet boxes for Conestoga cabinets
Comments (4)are you talking about FINISHED fronts? If you seek a certain relief profile that only Conestoga orScherr's can provide, then you are paying for that... you can get them unfinished and shipped to you and local cabinet people can finish ...or you can DIY if you dare.....I priced out some door styles from Walzcraft-they will provide you with a specific style and edge/etc...it wasn't prohibitive.... I located someone locally to finish them. If you are not trying to MATCH something and need a certain bead edging, width of frame/etc......you should be able to get fronts locally, The carcasses are not your significant factor in driving up your pricepoint-it is your door/drawer fronts/wood species/detail and finishing. Ikea carcasses are fine for example....See MoreHas anyone ever used different cabinet brands for uppers vs lowers?
Comments (14)I have Conestoga cabinets and added a Rev-A-Shelf under the sink. It was a bit iffy if the options Conestoga had available would fit, so GC and I decided to buy locally once the cabinet, sink, etc was installed. I wouldn't expect you'd have issues with aftermarket Rev-A-Shelf as long as the kitchen is designed around the specs. Also wanted to give a high-five, because that was my main inspiration pic too! Love it!...See MoreAliza Williams
