Do you have a link on the Woodcrafts? I've come accross a couple companies with similar names, but neither seems to stress RTA cabs.

I have not used either company above, but used RTA cabinets in a few areas of my home. The ones I used came from China and look a lot like the ones at the from the bulkcabinets site. I think we had one 'glitch' on a packed door that the company replaced without question. There was one cabinet that appeared a slightly different color, but I knew I was going to eventually paint, so I let it go for now. You can certainly notice the difference in color in the 12" base cabinet in this photo!

I purchased these cabinets from a surplus building supply store. This store has discontinued purchasing RTA cabinets from China and now uses a company out of Ohio for all RTA cabinets they sell. The Ohio company is a better quality cabinet that provides dovetailed drawers.

FWIW: I remember that the cabinetmaker wanted $1,500 for a 36" sink base and 36" upper cabinet in plain, unstained maple for the salon area, shown above. This did not include sink, counters, faucet, or extra cabinets or install. I paid less than $500 for 48" of cabinets and what you see at the link above for the salon, including sink, counter, faucet, cabinets, and install.

The ones I bought are 'fine' and had similar pricing as these you've shown us, maybe cheaper. The counters came from HD. The sink in the salon came from the same surplus company ($120 for a $500 Jacuzzi cast iron sink), which I included in the $500 cost above. I've since installed a stone backsplash that cost less than $80 for this DIY'er.

I've painted these RTA cabinets in two rooms and will eventually paint all of them. I put them online a few years ago just in case someone wanted to see how easily they can be installed and what they look like. We had never installed any cabinets before. OH...I just thought about it, we've installed another type of RTA in one of our bathrooms, but I do not have a photo of them online.

I was on the same quest! I think we're going to go with Kabinart cabinets from mkfusa.com (meramec kitchens and floors). They're a great cabinet for an awesome proce. We needed some special cabinets so we didn't go with an RTA. But his site also has other lines - some of them RTA. You should also check out the JSI line. It's sold by quite few sites. I went to their factory and saw the cabinets and they're very nice - but no full-extention glides. People have had great things to say about Neightbors. The link is below. If you want to see a more detailed list of cabinets and sketches of them go to woodlist.com.

I think the additional cost for an already assembled cabinet from JSI is only about 40.00. The extra might be worth it if you read another thread about potential problems with RTA cabinets.

oruboris, I've attached a link to Woodcraft Industries below. I hope that helps you. I don't remember how I found it... I think just surfing around.

If you want RTA quality, look into Scherrs. They do get backlogged, though, simply because they are very good and have gotten considerable business through GW.

The picture of a drawer from BulkCabinets doesn't give me warm fuzzy feelings. The single screw in the center of the drawer side is particularly worrisome.

I keep thinking of all the ways a drawer could be made and that screw....

If you decide to go with them, consider ordering one base cabinet in advance to check. While you may lose some cash if it's junk, you'd know before risky a large sum.

That is a very good idea, bmorepanic. Take your kitchen plan, choose the least expensive cabinet in it and order one before ordering them all, regardless of who you end up going with. If you are looking for basic cabinets and don't need a lot of available options, consider JSI, also, but pay attention to the differences in their lines. Their top lines have dove tailed drawers and upgraded, heavier, self closing drawers, but not full extension, but the less expensives lines do not. Make sure any construction details YOU think are important are included in that line. You can always buy full extension glides and upgrade yourself.

Here is another option, I have been coming back to their site a lot lately. However, I have never seen them in person. They do have a choises though for diy's.

I know there must be something I'm overlooking but I'm finding the pricing on Conestoga a little confusing. I had bookmarked their website awhile ago. Same thing with Scheers.

I found this other site through ebay. Tell me if anyone has had any experience or knowledge of them.
THanks!
