The cabinet boxes are very similar — both use furniture-grade plywood with solid wood face frames. The key difference is in the painted doors. Our painted doors are solid birch wood — the same material as our stained doors. Lily Ann uses HDF (high-density fiberboard) for their painted lines, which they say prevents cracking on painted surfaces. Both approaches have merit — HDF does resist paint cracking well — but if "all-wood on every piece" is important to you, we're the choice.

Lily Ann manufactures in their own factory in Malaysia and ships from warehouses in Michigan. Their published lead time is up to 21 business days before transit. We ship from a Factory-direct manufacturer with 3–5 business day processing. Different supply chain models — theirs gives them more control over manufacturing, ours prioritizes speed to your door.

Our $25 sample fee covers shipping and handling — but it's fully credited toward any cabinet order of $500 or more. So if you purchase, the sample costs you nothing. We chose this model because it ensures people ordering samples have genuine purchase intent, which lets us keep our cabinet prices lower. If you want zero-risk browsing, Lily Ann's free samples are a fair advantage.

Lily Ann's lifetime warranty is a genuine selling point. Our 5-year warranty is the industry standard for RTA cabinets at our price point, and it covers defects in materials and workmanship. The practical reality is that plywood boxes with solid wood doors and dovetail drawers typically last well beyond any warranty period with normal use. We'd rather price our cabinets lower and offer a realistic warranty than build the cost of a lifetime warranty into every cabinet.

Absolutely. Send us your Lily Ann design, quote, or cabinet list and our designer will recreate the layout using Quik Cabinets with equivalent sizes and configurations. You'll get a photorealistic 3D render and itemized pricing so you can compare the two options side by side. This is a free service — no obligation.

Yes. Both brands follow industry-standard North American cabinet dimensions: 34.5" tall base cabinets (36" with countertop), 24" deep bases, and standard widths in 3" increments. If you've planned a kitchen around Lily Ann's sizes, our cabinets will fit the same layout with little or no modification.

By choice. Shaker-style doors account for the overwhelming majority of kitchen renovations. By focusing on 3 series across 10 carefully chosen finishes, we keep our supply chain lean, our inventory turning fast, and our prices low. If you need a raised panel, glass insert, or highly specialized style, Lily Ann has more variety. If you want a clean shaker look at the best price with the fastest shipping — that's our lane.
