We seriously considered Brighton from Cabinet Discounters but ended up choosing Omega from Bray and Scarff in Columbia for the slightly less money, keeping all the bells and whistles. I had more confidence in Omega and I think it's a better overall product with a better reputation.

Just my opinion!

Thanks, Lagrant. Can I ask what you based the decision on? I'm surprised to hear that Omega was less expensive; I thought it was a much pricier brand. My Brighton price came in lower than Thomasville at Home Depot.

The very first cabinet I fell in love with was Omega when this renovation was just making my wish list. Their finishes, in my opinion, are up there with the best of the best. Consumer Reports had just ranked them as a top company as well. When we were shopping for GCs, one sent us to the Cabinet Discounters in Mt. Airy which was our first experience with Brighton. We still weren't dazzled by the GC so we kept looking and talking with several others. Another GC sent us to the Cabinet Discounters in Columbia. For the exact same layout, cabinets, etc - they quoted us 20% higher. When we questioned the pricing to both locations we were told that the pricing could vary by GC, depending on their arrangement. That sounded hokey to me so we kept on doing our research and homework. While shopping for appliances, I stumbled across the Omega display at Bray and Scarff and my heart skipped a beat. Since every bell and whistle we wanted was standard, there were minimal up charges. Also, B&S runs some very good monthly specials and we were able to get painted maple without the paint upcharge. They were also very willing to negotiate on price to accomodate our budget on electric, plumbing, etc.... Under Omega, there is the Dynasty line which is semi-custom but still includes all of the good stuff like blumotion and full extention drawers.

Hope this helps!

Thanks, Lagrant! Sounds like I need to give Bray and Scarff a try!

Laurieanntko...did you go to Bray and Scarff? We are looking at Brightons from Cabinet Discounters in Annapolis. What have you decided to purchase if you have made this decision yet?

Love Cabinet Discounters in Olney. Ask for Dave.
