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.
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.
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.
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.
