We had granite counter tops installed in the kitchen that got the Kraftmaid cabinets. We were only there 5 years, but had no increase in broken dishes, and no stains. The granite now is factory impregnated with a sealant that is very good. We have had a granite topped table since that last kitchen

Lowe’s and HD have like 3 grades of cabinets to order, price reflects the case and hardware quality. Doors and drawer fronts tend to look the same, might be the same. A friend bought some a few months ago. I went to Lowe’s with her and the guy in the cabinet desk kinda walked her through it.

When updating the kitchen in a aged Tudor in 1996, I found that custom was not out of line with the quality commercial cabinets and I was getting something that would fit in the space on hand (tiny and odd layout). I expect that a higher end commercial cabinet replacing builder grade could be

Good to know, since we'll likely be doing this kitchen in the not too distant future. 13 years ago, I didn't see anything of equal quality at HD - but that was a long time ago. On Mon, Mar 23, 2020 at 7:49 PM Dan Penoff via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > We’ve gone through it with

The cabinets we had put into camp a few years ago were from Lowes and almost certainly as cheap as we could get, its a camp after all. They are all plywood construction with some kind of veneer, no chipboard at all. To get chipboard you'd have to find something Wal-Mart grade... -Curt On

We’ve gone through it with Lowe’s before but didn’t pull the trigger. I’m not averse to going that route, either. In fact, I took the quote from Lowe’s and went across the street to Home Despot and had them give me a quote on the same stuff. Home Despot is so much more contractor-oriented I

Back then, I did all the measuring, sat down with the kitchen specialist at Lowes, who plugged the right part numbers in the right places and produced some drawings of what it would look like. We ordered them, I installed them - everything fit as it should have, with the exception of dealing with

Most of the better cabinets are solid wood doors/face frames and “A” grade plywood cabinets. Yes, there are ones out there that are particle board but they’re typically the really low end stuff. We had granite countertops in our last house and really liked them. I can’t recall breaking

Can't answer your question but most cabinets now are chipboard clad in some kind of veneer. They will not tolerate water. My 1950s kitchen cabinets were solid wood with plywood bottoms. I just modified and painted them. IMO, granite may be trendy but it's a poor material for a countertop.

Agreed. Unless you’re going custom, the manufactured ones are as good or better than what you can make for the most part. We looked at some at Lowe’s a couple fo years ago, but I don’t recall the details. I believe that we’ll have an outing to Lowe’s to see what they have available. I do

When we re-did the kitchen in the house we had before this one, we bought Kraftmaid solid wood cabinets from Lowes. https://www.lowes.com/b/Kraftmaid.html We chose hickory with a clear finish . They were beautiful, the hardware was all good (I don't remember if we had a choice there). I was happy
