Before Purchasing RTA Kitchen Cabinets

High Quality RTA kitchen cabinets by Cabinet Sourcing

RTA kitchen cabinets are currently dominating the market with the great value. Still, as with any product, there are a number of factors you should consider before  making a purchase. 

The name RTA  gives people the impression that all they have to do is remove the parts from the box and place them on spots. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case. Of course, you don’t need the multitude of tools a custom kitchen cabinet would require, but you still need the basic instruments to assemble the RTA kitchen cabinet.

The first things you will need are a screw driver and drill, two basic tools required in any home improvement job. Additionally, you’ll want to have a leveler handy to ensure that your kitchen cabinets aren’t slanted towards one side. The last two tools you’ll need  are less common in many households. Firstly, you need a table saw to cut your fillers and moldings.  A table saw will guarantee smooth, accurate cuts and save you quite a bit of time. Secondly, you need a nail gun to install all your wooden parts. Having a powerful nail gun will allow you to install your panels, fillers, and moldings correctly and in good time.

If you have knowledge and practice in renovations, you’ll become quite comfortable with kitchen cabinet installation in no time. The initial assembly will be quite easy, and after you get through your first few kitchen cabinets, the rest will be a breeze. However, it would be prudent to warn those who have no experience in DIY that the cabinet installation isn’t as straightforward as you might’ve initially thought. It can be quite challenging if you aren’t familiar with the tools and techniques. If this is the case, it’s recommended that you hire a professional to finish the job. Considering how much you’ve saved from purchasing the RTA kitchen cabinet, a quick installation from an expert won’t be too imposing on your wallet.

When purchasing RTA kitchen cabinet, you should make sure that what you’ve paid for is what you’ll get. Imagine receiving your order, only to be forced to send the entire thing back because you simply aren’t satisfied. This disappointment might occur because of your specific monitor settings or quality, or even due to the fact that the retailer has edited its images. Regardless of why the actual cabinet might look different in person, you should be heedful of the possibilities. In order to ensure that you’ll be pleased with your choice, order a sample kitchen cabinet door first. When you can’t be sure of how the cabinets will look like through an online gallery, a sample will give you a clear idea of what the RTA kitchen cabinets will look like in your kitchen. Another huge advantage of ordering sample doors is that you can ask for multiple different ones, giving you the opportunity to compare each option before you decide on the best fit.

While RTA kitchen cabinets are high-quality products, you can’t expect the same level of aesthetics as you might get from custom cabinets. You might wonder why cheaper Ikea products have better finishes than your kitchen cabinets, but you have to take into account that they’re mainly constructed with particle boards and veneers. This means that Ikea can create a clean finish on the outside, but it’s done in order to conceal the cheaper interior build. Cabinet Sourcing, as the leading cabinet manufacturer in China, instead, insist on using best material to produce all solid wood RTA kitchen cabinets with superior interior build.

Most of the RTA kitchen cabinets are made of solid wood, and natural materials like this always contain some flaws. Little scratches or warping in between or behind the cabinets are completely normal, but won’t adversely affect the functionality or overall aesthetics of the product.

You can always exchange certain parts and request replacements from your retailer, but keep in mind that you won’t receive any reimbursements for them, and doing so will only extend the installation process. Online RTA kitchen cabinets and bahtroom vanities are meant to give you an affordable alternative, and therefore, you can’t expect the same level of service or elegance as you might find in custom cabinet stores.
