Cabinet Questions
What are ready-to-assemble cabinets?
Ready-to-assemble (RTA) cabinets are new cabinets that are individually packaged and ready for easy assembly on site. Each cabinet door comes preinstalled to the face frame. Wall cabinets typically take 7–10 minutes to assemble, while base cabinets generally take 10–15 minutes. Larger pieces may take longer.
What do you mean by “all real wood, no particle board?”
Our cabinetry is built using furniture-grade or cabinet-grade A plywood. Face frames and doors are made from materials such as maple, birch, oak, or walnut, depending on the cabinet style. We do not use particleboard or inexpensive fillers. Please note that some specific cabinet styles may contain an MDF core.
Do I need a finished end for the exposed cabinet side?
This depends on the cabinet brand and door style you select. Please review the product notifications and descriptions for the specific cabinet style to determine whether a finished end is required.
Do I need a toe kick?
Each cabinet includes an unfinished cut-to-size toe kick. If you want a finished toe kick, it must be purchased separately.
How much wall space do I need for a blind base corner cabinet?
Blind base corner cabinets require an additional 3 inches of wall space. For example, a 36-inch blind base cabinet should be installed with 39 inches of available wall space.
How much wall space do I need for a blind wall corner cabinet?
Blind wall corner cabinets require an additional 3 inches of wall space. For example, a 27-inch blind wall cabinet should be installed with 30 inches of available wall space.
How long will it take to assemble my kitchen?
Wall cabinets generally take about 5–10 minutes to assemble. Lazy susans, drawer bases, and other larger or more complicated cabinets may take longer.

Shipping and Receiving
What is your shipping/delivery policy?
Please review our shipping and delivery policies for complete information.
Can I pick up my order locally?
Forevermark, GHI, Cubitac, and Wolf orders may be available for warehouse pickup. A 10% handling fee with a $25 minimum may apply. Non-stocked door styles are generally bundled at the distribution center and may have an estimated 2–3 week lead time. Special arrangements may be available by contacting us at 570-693-0285. RTA orders over $2,499 qualify for free shipping and no 10% handling charge.
How will my order be shipped?
Large orders are generally shipped by freight. The carrier is determined when the order is ready to ship, and tracking information is provided by email. Smaller orders may be shipped through FedEx, UPS Ground, or the Post Office.
Do I need to schedule a delivery appointment?
Yes. We strongly recommend scheduling a delivery appointment with the freight carrier. You will receive tracking information and carrier contact information so you can arrange delivery.
What happens if I need to reschedule my delivery?
A mandatory $150 rescheduling fee applies when a freight delivery needs to be rescheduled.
Can I change my shipping address?
Please notify us immediately if you need to change your shipping address. If the order has already shipped, the carrier may charge a $100–$150 address-change fee.
What happens if I am not home when my order is delivered?
Freight deliveries require someone to be available to receive the shipment. A $150 return-trip fee may apply if the carrier must return because no one is available. Additional storage fees may also apply.
What is tailgate delivery?
Tailgate delivery means the freight carrier delivers the shipment to the back of the truck. The driver does not bring the cabinets inside the home. We recommend having 2–3 people available to help unload the shipment.
What should I do when my delivery arrives?
Check the shipment against the delivery ticket or Bill of Lading (BOL). Verify the piece count and inspect the shipment for visible damage. Note any missing or damaged items on the BOL and take photographs of visible damage.
Should I refuse delivery if a box appears damaged?
No. Do not refuse the delivery simply because a box appears damaged. Note the damage on the BOL and take photographs. A properly documented BOL may be required for a warranty claim.
How long do I have to check for concealed damage?
You have 5 days to inspect the shipment for concealed damage and submit a Warranty Claim. After 5 days, the manufacturer may deny the claim.
What do I do if something is damaged after it has been opened?
Submit a Warranty Claim within 5 days. Do not assemble a damaged RTA cabinet. Take photographs, keep the damaged item, and do not dispose of it. The manufacturer may request the item be returned for inspection.
What do I do if something is missing?
Submit a Warranty Claim and clearly identify the missing item or part. Photographs are generally not required for missing items, but the missing item should be documented on the delivery paperwork whenever possible.
How will I get damage replacements?
Submit the claim within 5 days. The claim will be reviewed and the manufacturer will determine the appropriate replacement. For example, if a cabinet door is damaged, the manufacturer may replace the door rather than the entire cabinet. Do not dispose of damaged items because the freight company may request an inspection for up to 120 days.
