Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly are RTA cabinets?

RTA stands for Ready-to-Assemble. Your cabinets arrive flat-packed in compact boxes with all hardware, hinges, and screws included. You assemble them at home using basic tools — a Phillips screwdriver and a rubber mallet is all you need. The construction and materials are identical to pre-assembled cabinets. You're just doing 15–30 minutes of assembly per cabinet and saving 40–60% in the process.

Why are they so much cheaper than retail?

Three reasons. First, flat-packing reduces shipping costs by 60–70% compared to shipping pre-assembled boxes. Second, we sell factory-direct with no showroom, no distributors, and no retail markup. Third, you handle the simple assembly, which eliminates labor costs. The wood, hardware, and construction quality are identical to cabinets costing 2–3× more at retail stores.

How hard is assembly, really?

Most homeowners assemble a cabinet in 15–30 minutes. Our cabinets use a cam-lock system — align the panels, twist to lock, done. No special skills or tools required. We include step-by-step printed instructions with every cabinet and have video guides for every cabinet type on our website. If you can follow simple instructions, you can assemble these cabinets.

What's the difference between assembly and installation?

Assembly is putting the cabinet box together from flat-pack panels — that's the easy part anyone can do. Installation is mounting the assembled cabinets to your wall, leveling them, and connecting them to each other — that's where some experience helps. Many homeowners do the assembly themselves to save money, then hire a local carpenter or handyman for installation at $40–$60/hour. A full kitchen typically takes 1–2 days to install.

What if a part arrives damaged?

We inspect every order before shipping, but transit damage can happen. If anything arrives damaged, contact us with a photo and we'll ship a replacement part immediately at no cost. Our 5-Year Limited Warranty covers manufacturing defects for as long as you own your cabinets.

Do I really not need any special tools?

For assembly, no — a Phillips screwdriver and rubber mallet are all you need. For installation (mounting to the wall), you'll want a drill, level, and stud finder. But again, most people hire a professional for the installation step. The assembly is specifically designed to be tool-minimal and homeowner-friendly.

How do I know what cabinets to order?

That's exactly what our free 3D design service is for. Send us your kitchen measurements — even a rough sketch on paper or a few phone photos work. Our design team creates a professional 3D rendering with every cabinet specified, plus a complete shopping list with quantities and pricing. It's 100% free with no obligation. Most people start here rather than trying to figure out sizing on their own.

Are these the same quality as expensive custom cabinets?

The materials and construction are comparable to cabinets in the $15,000–$25,000 range. Solid wood face frames with mortise and tenon joinery, ⅝" solid birch dovetail drawer boxes, full-extension soft-close glides, and ½" birch plywood panels. The main difference is that high-end custom shops often offer more size options and exotic wood species. For standard kitchen sizes in popular finishes, you're getting the same build quality at a fraction of the price.
