Our kitchen is a moderate size and we have extra storage on the island and in the pantry so I think we’re safe with inset. I can def save money with the overlay on the island though so I’ll prob do that and spend the money on drawers and inset.

Sounds like a good plan! One way I saved some $ was by using wider cabinets, that resulted in using less cabinets.

I’ll see if that’s an option! Thank you:)

Dd did her kitchen in Aspect which was a disappointment. She should have paid more and used Shiloh. Supposedly the finish is the same but her finish is not. And the cabinets just seem low quality.

I would definitely go Shiloh.

That’s what I was thinking as well. Did she get the stained poplar or painted wood?

Painted. overall the kitchen looks good. It was a challenge getting the most flawed doors replaced. She has two little boys and feels like she has to guard the cabinets because the finish is so fragile. The kd has a painted Shiloh display in her place and it is much nicer than dds Aspect. she used the same kd that I did....so It is designed well, but just average quality at best.

That's disappointing to hear. And the first of have heard of bad finishes on Aspect. Did the cabinets come flawed, or did they become flawed after some use? My DD just had her bathroom remodeled in Aspect. Her cabinets are painted and she seems very happy. Did not have to return anything.

We are building and decided to go with painted Shiloh cabinetry in the kitchen. Will have inset on uppers and lowers, and on the front side of the large island. I believe that the backside could have full overlay. If not, inset. I cannot remember.

One thing to note. At the time of our order, the inset and the full overlay were the same price. I debated.

We will have stained Aspect on poplar for the butlers pantry/bar and in the laundry room. Two upstairs baths will have painted Aspect. Those will not be used much, as we are empty nesters.

I’ve seen that full overlay and inset are the same price. I’m wondering if my builders design company will do that or up charge. I’m considering the stained aspect for the island as I don’t want white where the kids will sit and kick it/scuff it with their feet. Thank you for your detailed response. I feel better about mixing the brands now.

Here's an inset shaker style Shiloh kitchen that I have seen in person. It looked real good, and I was impressed with the cabinets and drawers. We are using a more traditional paneled door instead of a shaker. And we will have a beaded inset look. Another surprise was that the cost of our door style was the same as the cost of the shaker style. We had several styles to choose from in the same price range. The price went up for applied molding.

That’s very pretty! Very similar to what I’m looking for a and I think I want the beaded inset, too. It’s gorgeous!!! Thank you:)

So my cabinets are in and all the corners on the upper perimeter walls where the box frame meets have seams that are cracked like this. Is this normal? Should it be fixed? It’s all corners and on the uppers as well.

Mine do not have that. I am not at home, so I do not have a close-up, but found this photo of my kitchen cabinets on my iPad.

Thank you!

Hi Christina, what line did you wind up going with for your cabinets?

I order the Shiloh but there were issues especially with the uppers where they cracked in the seams. They are replacing some of them. I’m grateful for it as it was very unsightly and not the level of cabinetry I expected or am paying for in our home. The builder, installer and Shiloh rep were able to meet with us and they are making it right. So very thankful.
