In my opinion if your seeking good quality cabinets rather than purchasing from high paced manufacturer's buy local and seek out a good cabinet craftsman in your area. You can start by calling your local chamber of commerce or state department of consumer protection for names and while your at it you can verify complaints and years in business.

Valana - what did you end up doing about your cabinets? We are in the exact same situation with our recently installed new custom cabinets. Paint is chipping easily. I have been arguing with the cabinet maker that the finish was done poorly and they are full of excuses. They said they will "touch up" the chips, but that is not fixing the issue and the cabinets continue to chip. One of their attempts to fix resulted in a botched job and now the cabinets finish has bubbled. To me, this reflects their inexperience and sloppy work, and I am not surprised that the other cabinets are chipping if this is the type of work they do. So disappointing!

I had to vhange the maple to sell my 5600 f house. They wanted white and I had professional cabinet painters come. Took great care, cleaned up. Covered everything yook door and drawers off. Looked great. Went from 20,000 to about 2,800.00
