Wolf Classic Cabinets

Hello! Thinking of using Wolf Dartmouth Cabinets in my mid-price range kitchen renovation. I see several negative comments, but most are many years ago. Anyone able to provide more recent feedback on this product? Looking to stay in the $15K price range with solid plywood construction (no MDF), slow close, with a quick turnaround time on a white shaker style and these seem to fit the bill, but I also want them to hold up. Any thoughts?

I have never heard of them. Here is what we did for one of our rental units.

Home Depot KraftMaid.

We did not use them for installl. Also, while the KD was good, my husband caught a small mistake in how we wanted the cabinet aboce the fridge, which was changed begore signing off.

Nothing fancy, we could have maybe added molding to go up to the ceiling, but didn’t.

The cabinets are shipped directly from KraftMaid. They came in perfect condition.

we also got the white subway tiles from HD. Grout we ordered. Mapei in frost.

Counter is Balck Absolute granite.

if this were mine, I would want stainless appliance but keeping cost down, we went with white.

The look great!! Were you able to stay below that $15K mark and are they solid plywood, not MDF?

Yes solid but I’d have to get my husband to look up the break down of the cabinets themselves.

Is your kitchen bigger than mine? We didn’t add any extras.

Why not stop in at a HD and make an appointment.?

they are HDF. High density Fiberboard so no seams.

Wolf Classic is junk. Always has been, and always will be. Plywood is way over rated as well. Better to get a better brand in a furniture board construction than get bad quality with bad quality ply. You have to move up to Wolf Designer to buy anything worth owning. And even then, that's just mid grade quality relabeled Kemper, Diamond, Schrock. 15K is not a mid grade cabinet cost expectation is the elephant in the room. Double that, and you will be at about average mid grade, without adding hzz type upgrades. Cabinets are only about 1/3 of the overall kitchen remodel cost. https://www.jlconline.com/cost-vs-value/major-kitchen-remodel-midrange?y=2024

Our bill for 6 lowers and 4 uppers was $5,875.77. This was a sale price that we waited for before we ordered.

Minardi, I understand what you are saying, but as a property owner that likes to keep things updated, we have found many less expensive ways to do things.

Again, we are pleased with KraftMaid.

My DD just ordered Kraftmaid cabinets. She shopped around to the big box store but found that a local home store was probably 50% of HD/Lowes. Where she got them from didn't play the pricing games of X% off a purchase of this amt.

The KD suggested MDF as a cost savings. Her theory was that if a cabinet gets wet, it doesn;t matter what it is made of, it's done for. Minardi and others on here are big MDF fans also.

Wolf is junk. All ply just reads ”marketing sucker” to a kitchen designer. You pay more money for functional equivalence. Engineered products are superior because they were designed to perform better. But you have all the science uneducated insisting on spending more, for less performance.
