### Reviews

**★★★★★ — jls7699, Nov. 2025**

> We had an excellent experience with A Direct Cabinet Distributor Corp. We purchased a quartz countertop, sink and cabinet hardware for our new kitchen. The team was professional, responsive and went above and beyond to ensure that we were happy with our selections. They handed every detail-from coordinating with fabricators, to replacing a damaged item and managing an exchange-with care and efficiency. The finished results are absolutely beautiful! We also appreciated the thoughtful follow-up after the countertop installation to ensure that everything met our expectations. We highly recommend this wonderful, family-owned business.

**★★★★★ — Jen Rothberg, Sept. 2023**

> Ted and Karly were amazing to work with! They provided expert advice, had a beautiful selection of products and assisted with every step in creating our dream kitchen!  We highly recommend working with A Direct!

**Comment from A Direct Cabinet Distributor Corp:**

> Thank you so much for such a wonderful review!  We couldn't agree more – working with both of you was a fantastic experience. You and Dave were not only receptive clients, but you made the entire process a lot of fun (which is amazing considering the circumstance you found yourselves in).  Thank you for choosing A Direct, and we look forward to the possibility of hanging out, I mean, working together again :)  If you ever need anything else, please don't hesitate to reach out, and send me those pics!! - Karly

**★★★★ — mgfinora, Sept. 2023**

> A Direct created a kitchen that optimizes space, organization and function in addition to looking beautiful. We are very happy with our new kitchen!

**★★★★★ — Janice C, July 2023**

> When it comes to renovations, this is the place to go!  From start to finish A Direct was extremely knowledgeable, creative and professional.  They took a vision and made it into our reality.  They were able to reimagine and design a layout in a small kitchen that is now functional but beautiful.  With their guidance we purchased faucets and light fixtures to add the finishing touches on each space.  The renovations were completed a little over a year ago, the products and customer service continue to far exceed our expectations.  You won't be disappointed.

**Comment from A Direct Cabinet Distributor Corp:**

> Janice,
> It was a pleasure working with you on your kitchen and bathroom project. Your input and collaboration were instrumental in ensuring that the final result perfectly matched your vision and needs. Your words mean the world to us, and it's truly rewarding to hear that you are still pleased with the work we did.

> Wishing you all the best, and may your home continue to be a place of comfort and joy.

**★★★★★ — HU-508022649, June 2023**

> Terrific experience!! A Direct was professional and accessible. Materials arrived according to timeline. Ted Moran embraced my vision which was reflected in my floor plan, and patiently guided me with decision making, incorporating his knowledge of kitchen design, construction, products, and budget.  He worked seamlessly with my wonderful contractor, Lumar Contracting (the best!!). I couldn’t have dreamed of a better experience with a first time kitchen remodel. The kitchen is stunning (see Woodhill Project). Thank you A Direct !!!!

**Comment from A Direct Cabinet Distributor Corp:**

> Sue! We wanted to take a moment to extend our heartfelt appreciation for the wonderful review you left for us. It brings us immense joy to know that you are thrilled with your new kitchen. Your kind words have truly brightened our day! We hope you enjoy it for years and years to come. Stay in touch!

**★★★★★ — trulybird, Dec. 2022**

> Very professional and easy to communicate with. Lovely show room. We dealt with Ted Moran.  He supplied samples of the cabinets and helped us choose the right colors, knobs and a fabulous sink that was hundreds of dollars cheaper than one we had selected.

**Comment from A Direct Cabinet Distributor Corp:**

> Thank you for taking the time to write that lovely review. We enjoyed working with you on your kitchen remodel, and hope it brings you joy for years to come.  Cheers!

**★★★★★ — Jennifer Wojcieski, Sept. 2022**

> A Direct understands the clients needs and designer's intent. With decades of experience in multiple facets of construction, A Direct provides superior consultation, design and supplier services. It is always a pleasure working with Ted and his group of outstanding professionals.

**Comment from A Direct Cabinet Distributor Corp:**

> Jenn!!  What a lovely review. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. We truly enjoyed working with you and Nick this past year. It makes coming to work that much more enjoyable when we get to work with clients as fantastic as you guys. We hope you enjoy your indoor AND outdoor kitchen for years to come.  Can't wait to see those pics :)

**★★★★★ — Chuck Davis, Feb. 2022**

> Outstanding!! Ted and his staff were beyond helpful with everything. Two cabinets came in with some minor damage and Ted put in a claim to manufacturer and had replacements promptly. Very easy to deal with and always on top of things. Would highly recommend and use again in the future.

**Comment from A Direct Cabinet Distributor Corp:**

> Thank you so very much for taking the time to write that beautiful review. We enjoyed working with you on your project, and hope you love how your kitchen came out as much as we did!

**★★★★★ — Empire State Renovators, Aug. 2021**

> A Direct cabinets and countertops has done around 5-6 stone countertops for us so far in the NYC area. They get the job done quickly and on schedule, for a great price. I look forward to many more great projects with them.

**Comment from A Direct Cabinet Distributor Corp:**

> We are so glad we connected with Empire State Renovators! You've been a pleasure to work with and getting to know. We look forward to the collaborations ahead.

**★★★★★ — HU-628126320, Aug. 2021**

> We strive for your exact reaction every time.  So to hear you are in love with your new kitchen truly means the world to us.  We wish you and your family many, many years of happiness in your new kitchen.  Thank you for choosing us for this project.

**★★★★★ — Kentstruction, Aug. 2021**

> As a local contractor we have worked with A-Direct on over 100 projects spanning more then 2 decades.  Ted and his team have always provided excellent service and great products.  I will continue to use them, they are the best.

**Comment from A Direct Cabinet Distributor Corp:**

**★★★★★ — Brett Marascia, May 2021**

> My company always purchases all kitchen cabinets from A-Direct for over 7 years now. Kevin had always designed top quality kitchens and never had a problem with any cabinets. If any concerns while install kevin has answered all questions or came to job site to see for himself. Pleasure to know they show up , measure and design at no cost.
> Highly recommend kevin and A Direct as your kitchen supplier.
> Brett Marascia Construction Corp.

**Comment from A Direct Cabinet Distributor Corp:**

In the end, they LOVED their kitchen and that is always our end goal. Besides the stainless island hood being the focal point, truly suits this modern kitchen, don't you think?

## Community Q&A

**Q: Size of hardware on the cabinets** *(in Photo Questions)*

Are all the handles the same size and if so what 14”?

A: They all appear to be the same size. Unfortunately we did not provide the decorative hardware for this job, so we don't have record of the specific sizing. Sorry!

**Q: Pantry color in two-tone kitchen** *(in Remodeling)*

Hello! Working on finalizing our cabinet plan for our 1914 bungalow. We are doing a two-tone kitchen with shaker-style cabinets from Schrock. The lowers will be &quot;Maritime&quot; and the uppers will be &quot;Dover&quot; (pictured below, also with a schematic of the kitchen).  The uppers on the side with the sink and dishwasher will have glass fronts of some sort.  The floors are antique quartersawn heart pine (refinished from under a lot of tar) and the counters are tentatively going to be a honed black granite like Jet Mist. Oh, and we are eliminating the upper cabinets in between the two windows on the sink wall. Don't think we need them.



My question is about what to do with the floor-to-ceiling pantry cabinet we are putting by the back door; it's got the door on the left and on the right, a window and a dummy cabinet (hiding a piece of old-house weirdness) in Maritime. Our current plan is to do the pantry in the Maritime color, but now I am kind of wondering if we should do all the cabinets in that whole run (upper and lower, from the pantry to the fridge) in Dover, so the only Maritime cabinets would be the lowers in the main part of the kitchen. Other thoughts are very welcome. Thank you! 



Dover:  

Maritime:

A: @Jess Cunningham I have a few jobs that are Maritime and White... but not Dover. Although my personal kitchen is Dover 

Maritime bases/ White Tops  (cherry shelves)  

Dover Kitchen  

Stay tuned to our social media.  We have another Maritime White Kitchen coming.  We are just doing the countertops now.  Should have pictures in the next month or so.   @adirectcabinets

**Q: Massive double sink** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Anyone have a 42 or 43 inch double kitchen sink? Do you like it or is it too big? Pics are a bonus! Thanks

A: We've done many Kosher kitchens.  What we find is that the homeowners either choose two seperate sinks completely (if their kitchen can accomodate it), or they'll get as large of a sink base as they can and get a double bowl.  Standardly speaking though, you'll be getting a 39&quot; sink for a 42&quot; sink base.  You can see a KRAUS option below: 
\[https://www.houzz.com/products/kraus-39-inch-undermount-50-50-kitchen-sink-prvw-vr~127215518?lid=24125002\[(https://www.houzz.com/products/kraus-39-inch-undermount-50-50-kitchen-sink-prvw-vr~127215518?lid=24125002)
MORE COMMON is a 36&quot; wide sink base to accomodate the variety of 32&quot; wide double bowl sinks out there.

**Q: Kitchen Island Size with Cook top** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Hi,
Anyone have a 9 to 10ft Island? Does it feel too big or just enough?

A: This is my personal kitchen (well originally speaking, I've since changed out doors and elements) but any way... it's a 9-9.5' size island.  You can see we don't have the cook top in the island, but we do have our sink. We comfortable seat four across the back, but can add two others at the clipped corners on each side to fit 6 if we need to. It is a massive island, which was troubling trying to find granite that large so we didn't have a seam. Now, the trend is quartz, and at 10' you shouldn't have a problem.  It doesn't FEEL massive. We use the island's counter top more than any other counter top in the island. It's also great if you host parties alot. You can set up a nice buffet around it, to keep the flow moving. I think you should do it.  Go big or go home! :)

**Q: Designer's Choice Cabinetry vs Tedd Wood** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Does anyone have any recent experience with the Designer's Choice? 

From what I read online the reviews were less then desirable with this particular cabinet maker.  However I saw that they were acquired in 2016 by the same firm that owns Tedd Wood.  We were looking at the Tedd Wood line however our original quote came in much higher then we wanted to spend.  They said a way to cut the costs could be to look at the Designer's Choice instead.

Considering the amount of cabinets that we need I want to be sure we get a cabinet that will last without sending us to the poor house.

A: Yes, I know. But no one has answered you in 2 days, so I figured I'd help bump it up with participation :)  Good luck!

**Q: Kitchen remodel** *(in Design Dilemma)*

Need advice on a wood top island.  I love the look but want it to be durable.

A: The beauty of a wood top is that it can always be sanded down and refinished should it get wear that you do not like.
