Space to assemble is usually also a problem for homeowners. Cabinets not quite what we expected.As someone who is keyed into cost savings, as you seem to be, I have researched the ready-to-assemble (RTA) cabinetry issue for my own upcoming kitchen renovation and discovered that these take so much longer to assemble than you might guess as a homeowner without prior experience or tools for keeping the boxes square. Here is a link that might be useful: Uggh. What would you do, cabinets are chipped?!! Minds on GW and together we can help you solve this.ĪCK!

Here are some links from others on their cabinet joysĪnd stresses, you can see you are not alone and perhaps You are not alone in your concerns when first opening Carissa Thanks again Also if anyone is thinking about quartz Lesson learned. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts and opinions- I truly appreciate it. I just want a decent looking kitchen that I can call my own. I am not expecting perfection by any means. Should i just be quiet and let them use the ugly stuff? Also do i make sure the countertop edge is bigger? Also I know the amount of money I paid doesn't seem like much to some of you, but it is a lot of money to me. So I guess I am confused on what type of wood should be used. update: I just got off the phone with the installer and now he said because i didn't like the wood- they are going to use a softer material board at 1/2' thickness - when pressed for the name of the wood he said i was being difficult. They did come and measure the kitchen prior to the install. So I'm hoping the shading and flec pieces will be more uniform. Thank u everyone!!! Quartz: 2cm thickness Color: Oceana They are not just replacing the one piece of the color mismatch- they are replacing the entire u shape area. Has this happened to anyone? Any feedback is much appreciated. Do I have any other options? Refacing, Restaining? I know this is crazy to consider with brand new cabinets but right now I have this sick feeling in my stomach that I made a very expensive mistake. I can't return them as technically there's nothing wrong with them - this is how they are supposed to look. Maybe once they are installed along with the granite and backsplash, my opinion will change but right now I'm not optimistic. Right now they are on my living room floor waiting to be installed. I did alot of shopping around until I picked these out and expected this to some degree but now that I see it on much larger pieces and on a grander scale, I'm disappointed. Specifically, the stain is very uneven or blotchy, light in some areas, darker in others. The problem is I'm not happy with the way they look. I have been a reader of this forum for months now and it's been a big help to me in renovating my kitchen.Īfter much anticipation, I just received my new kitchen cabinets, maple with a nutmeg stain.
