Discount Kitchen Cabinets & Designer Vanities

RTA CABINET QUALITY

Don’t be fooled by pricey cabinet suppliers who claim Ready to Assemble RTA cabinets are not well made or have very limited cabinet and feature choices.

Over the last 10 years, the quality of some RTA cabinets has gone up so dramatically, that many U.S. cabinet manufacturers are still playing catch up.

COMPARE APPLES TO APPLES

You can find some cabinets priced less expensively than ours.  If so, and if quality is a priority, make sure you compare apples to apples. Even if some companies advertise that their cabinets are a PREMIERE or ELITE line, here are

10 QUESTIONS TO ASK SELLERS:

1) Do your cabinets contain any particleboard? (Particleboard swells, buckles, and splits if it gets wet; plywood cabinet boxes are more durable.  Our cabinets contain NO particleboard whatsoever). 

2) Are the cabinet boxes - sides, backs, AND shelves - made of sturdy plywood, or do you have to pay extra for that? (Grade-A plywood is standard on our cabinets and shelves).

3) If your cabinets have plywood sides, are the sides of all cabinets finished on the outside, or is the plywood exposed on some cabinets? (This can be important to some people with allergies or a sensitivity to the chemicals used in wood cabinets. ALL of our cabinets have finished sides, not just those at the end of a run).

4)  Are your cabinets finished on the inside?  (All of our cabinets have finished veneers inside and out that match cabinet fronts).

5)  Do your Ready-to-Assemble cabinets have to be drilled, glued, clamped, and stapled, or can they easily be assembled with PRE-MOUNTED "L" brackets and locking plates?  (Some sellers provide the L-brackets and locking plates, but buyers have to measure each piece of wood to determine their placement, drill holes for them, and mount them.  Others require drills, glue guns, staple guns, and clamps.  Our locking plates and L-brackets are PRE-MOUNTED on our wood.  You just slide each locking plate over its corresponding L-bracket, add the center screw to the pre-drilled hole, and tighten the other two screws that are already in place).

6)  Are your cabinet drawer glides FULL EXTENSION, or just 3/4 extension? (You get 25% more drawer space with full extension drawer glides, which are on ALL of our deluxe and semi-custom cabinets and some of our builder cabinets).

7) Are your cabinet drawer glides basic epoxy glides, or are they heavy duty glides?  (You can expect basic white epoxy glides on builder grade cabinets, but if you are paying more for your cabinets, make sure the drawer glides are heavy duty ones that are stronger and more durable.  All of our deluxe and semi-custom cabinets have heavy duty undermount glides).

8) Do your cabinets have SOFT-CLOSE drawers? (All of the drawers on our deluxe and semi-custom cabinets are FULL EXTENSION SOFT CLOSE.  This feature alone often costs 30% more).

9)  Are your cabinet doors and doorframes 3/4" WOOD?  (All of our deluxe and semi-custom cabinets have 3/4" solid wood doors and drawer faces).

10) Are your cabinets GLAZED?  (Not just sprayed with a polyurethane finish, but GLAZED with a second staining color that provides two-tone definition and pizazz, before the finish is added?  Many retailers charge an extra 15-40% extra just for this feature that is standard on all of our deluxe and semi-custom cabinets except our Winter White, Bamboo, and Maple Shaker).

WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL ABOUT PARTICLEBOARD SIDES VERSUS PLYWOOD SIDES?
Many cabinet manufacturers still build cabinets with particleboard sides or backs . . . and many lumberyards, home supply stores, and internet merchants still sell them. 

Kitchen Cabinet Discounts will NOT sell cabinets with any particleboard because particleboard is made of wood chips and sawdust.  If particleboard gets wet, it tends to swell, buckle, and split, and the screws and staples in it loosen.  We know kitchens are a major investment, and we know customers expect strong, long lasting cabinets.  Cabinets sold by Kitchen Cabinet Discounts feature 3/4" thick solid wood doorframes AND sturdy cabinet boxes made from Grade A plywood that is covered with a veneer stained to match the outside finish.

 

      IF PARTICLEBOARD GETS WET, IT SWELLS, BUCKLES, & SPLITS.                             PLYWOOD IS MORE DURABLE.

Kitchen Cabinet Discounts' cabinets use NO particleboard whatsoever.
