We are in the midst of installing cabinets from Scherr's and I have no reservation about recommending them. They are RTA but putting them together was literally the easiest part of the job. My 12 year old and I knocked it out in a day.

Thanks for the response. The KraftMaid Grandview Square Half is exactly what I'm looking for to get the period look. I've read a lot of awful reviews of KraftMaid online. What accounts for those and why shouldn't I worry about them? I've read similar of Shiloh. I find more bad reviews than good of most cabinet makers other than the highest-end brands like Rutt.

Kraftmaid has a lot, if I had to guess, is because they are in Home depot and Lowes....and I would bet, most of the issues if from poor customers service by the store....not the cabinet manufacturer. KraftMaid has had their ups and downs since I first started carrying the line back in 1990. But today, they are great! We have very few issues. All cabinet lines will have some issues. KraftMaid, IMO, is a great company with a longstanding history...and they are great with warranty issues.

We've had Shiloh for many years now too....it's our number 1 line at our store. And we have very few issues. All cabinets can have a nick or ding. It's the nature of the industry when shipping cabinets hundreds of miles, especially painted products. But we overall like this line very much....especially for their inset cabinets. Great price.

Shiloh also offers a lipped door overlay. If you want a partial overlay that looks vintage....check out that style! Very few cabinet lines do this style anymore!!! In fact, Shiloh is the only one that I know of! Very mid-century modern.....or 1920s-30s look!!!

Thanks. I'm trying to go for a 1920s look because that's when my home is from. I figure that trying to stick with a period-appropriate look will result in one that will always be harmonious with my home. Also, if I like a look that's 100 years old, I won't have to worry about it being outdated. I didn't know about lipped doors, but I think I have an antique piece of furniture with them.

I love the look of inset cabinets, but I've read about how they can have issues with swelling. I experience a lot of atmospheric changes due to hot humid summers and dry winters, so inset cabinets are risky.

@The Kitchen Place, which Shiloh doorstyle is the partial inset/overlay, and could you Message me please?

Omega makes outstanding semi custom, as well as full custom.

Living in Philadelphia which has, hot humid summers and cold winters (well not so much lately), we never had a problem with our wood, inset cabinets. We had painted Crystal cabinets in the bath and quartersawn white oak in the kitchen.

We have Brookhaven cabinets at the beach and in our new home and I think they're really nice for semi-custom. You can upgrade to wood boxes if that's important to you. However, they're lead time is 26 weeks these days. I'm pretty sure they do inset.

Palimpsest, I went to your profile and there was no message button.

Here is a a page from the spec book showing the edge profiles. The 3/8" inset is what I am talking about how very few companies do this anymore. It can look very cool. It slims down the door appearance. Not quite inset.....not quite overlay....a hybrid.

You can do this edge on any door except slab veneer doors and mitered doorstyles.

I also love the look of inset DOORS with a 3/8" inset drawers. I've seen many original 1920s to 1950s kitchen that were done that way. Now today....that would be a true custom vintage kitchen!

Here is a perfect example of inset doors with a 3/8" lipped drawer.

The inset doors and overlay drawers look seemed to dominate kitchens and pantries of the early 20th century, at least in luxury homes. I checked my antique hutch from the late 19th century and it does have the inset/overlay hybrid doors. Now it makes sense to me how an overlay door can look so trim.
