When it comes to kitchen remodeling or home improvement projects, one of the most important decisions homeowners face is selecting the right cabinets. Ready-to-Assemble (RTA) cabinets have gained popularity in recent years, but are they a good choice for your home? Let’s explore the pros and cons of RTA cabinets to help you make an informed decision.

 

What Are RTA Cabinets?

 

RTA cabinets, or Ready-to-Assemble cabinets, are pre-manufactured cabinets that come flat-packed and require assembly by the consumer or a contractor. They are typically made from materials like plywood and come in various styles and finishes.  Bliss Cabinets offers a diverse range of styles/colors.  They offer over 60 styles/colors in the framed, frameless, inset and outdoor categories.

2. Variety of Styles: RTA cabinets come in a wide range of styles, colors, and finishes. Whether you prefer modern, traditional, or transitional designs, you’re likely to find options that fit your aesthetic.

 

3. Easy to Transport: Because they come flat-packed, RTA cabinets are easier to transport than fully assembled cabinets. This can be especially helpful for DIY enthusiasts or those with limited space.

 

4. DIY Friendly: For those who enjoy home improvement projects, assembling RTA cabinets can be a fun and rewarding task. Most kits come with clear instructions and all necessary hardware.

 

5. Quick Installation: RTA cabinets can often be installed more quickly than custom cabinets, especially if you have some experience with assembly and installation.  Bliss Cabinets has over $100M of inventory in the States at all times.  They offer 1-5 day shipping on all orders.

 

Tips for Choosing RTA Cabinets

 

- Research Brands: Look for reputable brands that have positive reviews. Websites like Houzz or HomeAdvisor can provide insights into customer satisfaction.

 

- Check Material Quality: Opt for cabinets made from solid wood or high-quality plywood instead of particleboard or MDF, which may be less durable.  Bliss Cabinets framed cabinets ONLY include plywood boxes/face frames, solid maple/dovetail drawer boxes, full extension/soft-close drawer glides and soft-close door hinges. 

 

- Read Reviews: Customer feedback can give you a clearer picture of the quality and assembly experience of specific RTA cabinets.

 

- Measure Your Space: Before purchasing, ensure you have accurate measurements of your kitchen or bathroom to avoid sizing issues.  Bliss Cabinets offers no obligations FREE DESIGN SERVICES with unlimited edits.

However, potential buyers should be aware of the quality differences and assembly requirements. With careful research and consideration, RTA cabinets can be a great addition to your home, providing both style and function without breaking the bank.
