Hey tiggsy, I saw you had asked aries61 if she had an update on her Conestoga install.

I've seen several threads with Conestoga cabinets. Oldbat2be's Kitchen reveal

thread is loaded with pics.

Also see the photo's that Barlowmom posted Aries61's thread here

The Cabinet Joint is a long time GW contributor that provides excellent information if you have specific questions regarding Conestoga.

HTH,

I don't know much about Conestoga but my KD carries CWP and it is the highest level they offer. We went with Shiloh for a few reasons but I understand CWP to be fully custom and a step up from Shiloh.

Try a search.
There are those of us who are extremely happy with Conestoga -- AND TheCabinetJoint.com. Brian in particular. :)

I have looked at as much Conestoga information as I could thanks to all the recommendations, however information on CWP cabinets is a lot harder to get. Does anyone know whether CWP cabinets are RTA like Conestoga, also in terms of price are they comparable or is one priced higher?

CWP is custom and sold through KDs if I recall it correctly. It is not RTA. I could also be mixing it with a very similar named company that is more expensive than Crystal.

You're comparing wine with grapes, and a wooden vat in which to stomp them, plus a couple of bottles thrown in to put the results in. You might end up in the same place, but if you don't have the skills and patience, you surely won't.

You really need to order a sample cabinet and put it together yourself. IF you own the right tools and are fairly handy, then you can get good quality results. ''High quality'' results in cabinetry isn't just about the flat pack materials. It's about the assembly and install as well. And the design. You have to know how to design in the proper details. Most amateurs will fall flat in that department because they don't know what they don't know. I've done thousands of kitchen remodels. You do end up learning a thing or two from that.

Someone may be confusing brands because CWP otherwise known as Custom Wood Products is a high-end custom line that is pre-assembled and pre-finished. Yes, reviews on them are hard to find. I think one negative review I saw might have been confusing this with a different brand.

Inspo Inspo - it will be helpful if you would explain which CWP you are talking about with more detail. Is it the one in Roanoke, VA? Here is a Houzz page for that one, with poor reviews from clients and good reviews from "colleagues" which may be suspect.
