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 nine 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).

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

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? (Finished sides are standard on ALL of our cabinets).

4) Are your cabinets finished on the inside? (Ours are).

5)  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 semi-custom cabinets and some of our builder cabinets).

6) Are your cabinet drawer glides basic white epoxy glides, or are they high quality, 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 high quality, heavy duty ones that are stronger and more durable.)

7) Are your cabinet drawers SELF-CLOSING? (All of the drawers on our semi-custom cabinets are).

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

9) 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 20-40% extra just for this feature that is standard on all of our semi-custom cabinets except the Winter White).

10)  Do your Ready-to-Assemble cabinets have to be glued and stapled, or can they easily be assembled with "L" brackets and locking plates?  (Ours feature durable locking plates and "L-brackets).

Assembly requires only a Phillips screwdriver.

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.

TESTIMONIALS

"Over the years, I've installed and even built quite a few cabinets. There is no way I could have saved any real money building them myself. And I really liked many of the details on your cabinets. The L brackets made them very easy for one man to assemble. The finish is really nice. The all plywood bodies made it very easy for me to trim and fit things as needed in my old house. You can bet that I'll be recommending your cabinets."  John A. - Topeka, KS

“I was never mechanically inclined, and wasn’t sure I could assemble a single cabinet by myself.  Your web site directions are easy to follow, and the cabinets already have the hinges attached, so after the first one, they were a breeze to put together.  If I can do it, anyone can.”  Rose G. – Sewickley, PA

 "I am pleased with the cabinets and the service we received.  You were always available to answer questions and correct any mistakes.  It was a pleasure dealing with you.  Thank you again."  Frances G. - Staten Island, NY
