Question 1

What are RTA cabinets?

Accepted Answer

RTA stands for Ready to Assemble. This means that the cabinets are shipped flat-packed and will be assembled by the customer or a contractor.
 
RTA cabinets are a great way to save money for several reasons; we don’t have to carry the labor cost of assembling the cabinets and can pass those savings onto our customers, they take up less space so storing and shipping them is cheaper, and since you can easily assemble them at home the total costs are significantly less.

Question 2

What type of wood do you use?

Accepted Answer

This varies between cabinets, but we only offer all wood/all plywood constructions, and no particle board anywhere. The types of wood we feature include Birch, Maple, Hickory, and HDF/MDF.

Question 3

What is HDF wood?

Accepted Answer

HDF stands for High Density Fiber. It's commonly used when a smooth painted appearance is needed instead of wood, which has grains, knots, wormholes, and other blemishes that show through a painted surface.
 
Also referred to as Hardboard, a high-density fiberboard (HDF) is a type of engineered wood product. It's made from wood fiber extracted from chips and pulped wood waste.

Question 4

What is MDF wood?

Accepted Answer

MDF stands for Medium Density Fiber and is used for the same purposes as HDF wood; it’s commonly used when a smooth surface is preferred over a more woodlike one.
 
It’s an engineered wood product and consists of similar wood fiber extracts like those found in HDF wood. As the name implies, MDF wood is less dense compared to HDF wood, which is normally more durable.

Question 5

Are any cabinets made from particle board?

Accepted Answer

None of our cabinets are made out of particle board, we only use durable plywood, natural wood, and MDF/HDF in our cabinets.

Question 6

Are the insides of the cabinets finished?

Accepted Answer

The insides of glass cabinets (which thus become visible when closed) are always finished for an eye-pleasing appearance. Most other cabinets have an impregnated natural wood inside finish.
 
If you have questions about specific cabinets you can always reach out to us via chat, phone, or email and we will be happy to help.

Question 7

Are the cabinet sides finished?

Accepted Answer

Yes! All our cabinet sides have been finished to match the rest of the exterior. Some customers do choose to upgrade the exposed finished ends to paneled finished ends. These can be added even after the cabinets are installed at anytime.

Question 8

Do your cabinets have a matching toe kick?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but if you want to cover the seams we recommend buying a toe kick cover, which you can find under each of our cabinet-style pages.

Question 9

Do you offer a warranty?

Accepted Answer

Question 10

Do you sell custom or semi custom cabinets?

Accepted Answer
