Ready to Assemble Cabinets

Ready-to-Assemble Cabinetry

Installing Ready to Assemble (RTA) cabinets can be a cost-effective and convenient option. Purchasing RTA cabinets offers several benefits compared to Semi-Custom and Standard Lines in cabinetry. Here are some pros and cons before deciding whether RTA are right for your project:

Pros of RTA Cabinetry

Cost-Effective

RTA cabinets are generally less expensive compared to Semi-Custom and Standard Line cabinets. They can be a budget-friendly option if you’re looking to save money on kitchen or bathroom remodeling projects.

DIY installation

RTA cabinets are designed for easy installation and come with detailed instructions. They can be assembled and installed by homeowners themselves, eliminating the need for professional labor and saving additional costs.

Customizable options

While RTA cabinets are pre-designed, they often offer some degree of customization. You can choose different finishes, hardware, and accessories to personalize their cabinets to match your desired style.

Space-efficient packaging

RTA cabinets are flat-packed, which means they come in compact packaging. This can be advantageous when transporting them to your home, especially in cases where space is limited or when ordering online.

Cons of RTA Cabinetry

Assembly required

The primary downside of RTA cabinets is that they require assembly. Depending on the complexity of the design and the number of cabinets involved, assembly can be time-consuming and may require basic carpentry skills. Not all homeowners may feel comfortable or have the necessary tools for the assembly process.

Limited customization

While some customization options are available, RTA cabinets may not offer the same level of flexibility as custom-built cabinets. Homeowners with specific design requirements or non-standard kitchen layouts may find it challenging to find RTA cabinets that perfectly fit their needs.
