Any opinions on Siteline cabinets?

10 years ago

First of all, thank you for your patience as I navigate the world of kitchen cabinets. This forum is so helpful.

Just got a quote for Siteline cabinets, which I think is a new, lower-priced line from Greenfield cabinets. I'm having a hard time finding information about Siteline, namely what distinguishes it from Greenfield and whether their finishes and construction are good quality.

I think we have narrowed our cabinet decision down to Siteline or Omega Dynasty (the new frameless line). There is a small chance that we will go IKEA with Scherrs doors if the final price with finish, installation, etc. is dramatically cheaper. Still figuring that one out.

Thanks for any opinions and advice!

    In the same boat. Got a nice quote but not much to look at online. I think I may call them. Please post again if you hear anything...

    I am in the same sort of spot, so I'll be watching this thread.

  • 10 years ago

    Same spot here as well. They look nice but can't find much online about their quality

  • 10 years ago

    Have a quote as well, cabinet salesperson said it is newer and she seems to really like them. Thinks highly of Corsi group but I want feedback from non-salesperson. Any one else?

    Following this as well.

    Someone coming out next week and Siteline is one of the cabinets they quote. Looking forward to opinions.

    I finally got some more info. Their build quality is pretty good for the price, they have a robust spec book, and even some semicustom options. I ordered some color blocks and a veneered door, so we'll see. I get the feeling they incorporate a lot of what Greenfield and Corsi cabinets offer.

    We ordered Siteline cabinets through a local retailer. The cabinets we saw in the showroom and the door samples we saw looked pretty good and solid. However on install we found out the cabinets, especially painted ones, are rather fragile and prone to chipping. I cannot recommend these cabinets.

    I just saw these today. They looked nice in the showroom. The quote we got was on par with our other options, including Kemper, and just a bit less than Ultracraft, which is more customizable. Our other options, which is the least expensive, are Deerfield cabinets, through cabinets. com


    Other things to note: soft close was very good, things look solid I did not see obvious issues in the samples. But the Siteline quote was with particle board and their paint was actually a laminate. From what I understand, very good laminate/veneers are better than they used to be--and it didn't have that plastic look--but without a lot t o go on (except the one review above), I am hesitant, and if anyone has opinions about Ultracraft, Kemper or Deerfield, i am all eaers.

    particle board or mdf?

  • 10 years ago

    I believe I saw particle board boxes (plywood upgrade) with maple and mdf doors. There were more choices--doors with painted finishes, stained finishes, veneers, laminates and a poly wrap. But the quote I got was for the lower end of the price range, so I'm questioning if its worth it versus other brands.

    I'm glad that so much information is being shared about Siteline. It's really helpful. I just wanted to get back to you all and tell you that in the end we went with Omega Dynasty semi-custom. I did want to tell you, though, that the Siteline salesperson actually ended up giving us a bid for the Greenfield cabinets for around the price of Siteline. The Greenfield cabinets look awesome (plywood, Blum, and I think are considered "custom"), and we strongly considered them. We ended up doing Omega because of the Omega KD. Anyway, I think some salespeople might have a little more flexibility with the Greenfield line, so that might be worth a try. Good luck!

    MDF is Medium Density Fiberboard, which is much improved type of board that may indeed look similar to particle board but is actually an engineered product. In many instances it is considered superior to plywood and very common in cabinet making for its stability. Not speaking for or against Siteline or any cabinet brand just trying to help with the product used potentially.

  • 10 years ago

    Looking at the cabinets, they appear to be plywood and the doors MDF. Cabinet drawer frames appear to be wood.

    The biggest issue with these Siteline cabinets is the ease at which the paint on cabinet edges chip off. Might be fine for a show kitchen that rarely gets used but if you actively use the kitchen I can't see how these will be able to take the day to day beating of cooking and use of the kitchen.

    In addition, it shows that quality control at this company is poor as we recevied one large cabinet that was completely wrong spec and one that had a completely unfinished rough edge. Inside drawers, all the dril holes had splinters sticking out. Not good at all.

    Cabinet hardware is nice though. Doors adjust along x,y,z axis and both doors and drawers pop out with ease.

    So, knowing what we know now, we would never buy a Siteline cabinetry or go with any showroom selling these lines. I think IKEA would have been better and cost us less!

    The mdf doors have a different appearance. Edges and details are more rounded. They can't be cut crisply like wood. The ones I have seen had a more molded look to them.

    Would not recommend siteline - builder uses them but was not happy with the product.

  • 9 years ago

    We ended up walking from them as well. Our island in Greenfield and we LOVE it. The rest is the builder selection, Waypoint and we do not love it. Lots of issues, waiting to talk to cabinet company. Wish we had been the couple who landed the greenfield quote mentioned above!

    Full kitchen renovation w/Siteline. Still waiting for 4th delivery of large pantry door. All damaged in delivery or wrong side hinges. Strong smell from painted finish. Should have gone w/Greenfield, which we had used in the past. "penny wise, pound foolish"

  • 9 years ago

    Follow up to above - just received 5th pantry door with 'at factory' scratches on the finish. I am sooo done with Siteline painted finish issues and shipping issues.

    We have sold Siteline since they were brought out by Corsi- Have not had any problems- great quality and great price- No complaints about the finish from our installers or customers- I would put them in my own home-

    I have been designing and selling cabinetry for nearly thirty years. I've just recently started working with Siteline, and it's versatile and durable. It's at an excellent price point, especially for painted finishes. Definitely ask for a touch up kit or pint of stain if you have an active family or dogs.

    I realize this us an old thread, but since it has been revived, I thought I'd add my input. We used Sitelines for our lowers (and coffee station uppers), and I have been very happy. Granted, they were installed in the late fall, so I can't say anything about how they wear, but they perform well right now. We have the Walton style, in red oak with Sandpiper finish (pickled oak, which is what our prexisting doors and trim are in our 100yo house).

    It's actually lighter in color than it looks here

    stillpitpat - We're considering Siteline Walton Cabinets. I'd love to see more pics of your cabinets. Just wondering what the rails & stiles will look like in a kitchen, as a whole. Your 3rd picture above helps, but would love to see the cabs from a distance. It's annoying (& unethical IMO) that Siteline makes you buy cabinets sight unseen. Maybe some showrooms have display kitchens, but the place we're buying from doesn't, & I can't find anyone who does. No pictures online either. I'm just venting at this point.


  • 7 years ago

    Helpful? Let me know if there is a specific shot you'd like.








    cat was extra





    I felt ok about ordering them without seeing them because my designer has used them before and likes them (one of the times I just held my breath and trusted her). I did see a door sample for the stain, but that's it. I also don't know a lot about how to evaluate cabinets, but I have been very happy with them. No complaints or concerns. We also have Blum hardware. Idk if that was an upgrade or not, but I was clear about wanting that regardless of the cab company.

    Thank you so much!!! You're the best! They're really pretty! It really helps to see photos. Very nerve racking to have to purchase site unseen. Or in this case, Siteline unseen. ;)
