What are RTA Kitchen Cabinets?

RTA Kitchen Cabinets – What is RTA?

RTA stands for Ready to Assemble.  This means the cabinets you buy are premade, and they just need to be assembled together in your kitchen.  Buying RTA Kitchen Cabinets is a great way to give your kitchen a new look without the cost of having a custom kitchen designed, built, and installed.

RTA cabinets have grown more popular during the last number of years since the selling price seems to have dropped, and more corporations seem to be producing RTA kitchen cabinets these days as compared to in the past which leads to increased competition between manufacturers to get you to buy their cabinets.  Ready to assemble cabinets are less expensive because the manufacturers can build them in bulk without needing to custom build each set up cabinets.  The cabinets come in many different sizes and finishes which allow you to design the kitchen of your dreams without all the headaches of a custom build.

When choosing a brand of RTA cabinets, you should be sure to read reviews of the manufacturer of the cabinets.  You can also ask friends and family members if they have ever installed RTA cabinets in their kitchen or bath rooms.  Make sure you look at several different models of cabinets, and check the doors and hardware for quality.  Some things to look for include splits on the inside of the cabinets and hardware that is not adjustable.

If you decide to purchase cabinets online, be sure to get a sample sent to your home before making a final decision.  When placing your order, make sure you understand the policy on damaged items.  As soon as you receive your order, you should look over all of the cabinets for any damage or missing pieces.  If you find scratches or other imperfections, you need to contact the manufacturer or the store you bought the cabinets from as soon as possible.  In the near future we will be adding reviews of the top manufacturers of RTA kitchen cabinets to this website, so be sure to check back often.
