We decided to renovate our kitchen and replace the kitchen cabinets. After we saw the price tag of them in the retail store,my husband and I decided to research cabinet manufacturers on-line. It seemed that there had to be an alternative to paying high retail prices. Unfortunately, we were on a time crunch, so we decided to see what Ikea had as well.
We found various kitchen cabinet web sites and then stumbled across RTA cabinets. We were going to build the kitchen ourselves but when it became apparent that we could buy cabinets that were built just as strong, it became an easy decision to choose RTA kitchen cabinets.
We had actually purchased our kitchen cabinets at Ikea. We couldn’t pick them up for a couple of days, so I decided to check out these ready-to-assemble cabinets from one of the on-line companies I found that had a showroom near my house. We found a cabinet that was very similar to what we had just picked out at Ikea, so it then came down to assembly, construction materials, and how much it was going to cost.
It only requires a screwdriver to assembling the cabinets and each cabinet had only one page of directions. Granted the directions were not the best, but the building process was easy once you got the “hang” of the construction. The cabinets we were about to buy from Ikea, had all of the parts in individual boxes (screws in one, hinges in one, doors in another, etc). It would have literally taken a full day to separate all of the pieces for each cabinet. I was amazed that the RTA cabinets came with everything included, neatly packed in one box.
The other refreshing part of the RTA discovery was that these cabinets were actually constructed of better material than the competition from the retail stores. Yes, when we looked at IKEA and a building supply store, but we found that the sides and backs of the cabinets we wanted were made of particleboard. All of the cabinets my husband and I purchased from the RTA cabinet store online were made of solid wood face frames and doors along with solid plywood sides.
My final piece of satisfaction came when my friend who works for the Home Depot stopped by my house to see the new kitchen. He was amazed at the job we did and also very impressed with the quality of the cabinets. But the big news was that he said this kitchen would have cost over $5,000 dollars at his store. We paid $1906.00 for the entire kitchen from the RTA cabinet store and had them delivered to our house in 3 days. Needless to say, we cancelled our order at Ikea, which was going to cost us almost $3,500 and would have involved twice as much time.
Are you considering a kitchen renovation, and purchasing kitchen cabinets online? Are you wondering if ready to assemble kitchen cabinets are the right choice for you? I highly recommend looking at RTA kitchen cabinets for any of your home improvement projects. Read more |
