vintage white inset rta kitchen cabinets

When planning to replace your kitchen cabinets, you should consider buying new solid wood cabinets from an RTA cabinet store. The selections of cabinet styles are normally comparable to those found at local retail stores.

However, the key difference you will quickly notice is the substantial savings between the ready-to-assemble (RTA) cabinets and preassembled ones from local suppliers.

How Can an RTA Cabinet Store Offer Lower Prices?

An RTA cabinet store can offer lower prices on similar-quality cabinets because they are ready to assemble. You do not pay labor costs to have someone else put the cabinets together.

Additionally, if you order directly from the manufacturer, all secondary markups are eliminated from the final cabinet price. Retail stores pass along all costs they incur to obtain the cabinets and mark up the cabinets even more to earn a profit. Further, RTA cabinets require less space when they are shipped, so shipping costs are less.

Is It Difficult to Assemble RTA Cabinets?

Putting together RTA cabinets is not difficult if you are an experienced DIY person, can follow instructions, and know how to use various types of tools. If this sounds too complex for you to handle by yourself, you can still save money on your kitchen cabinets by hiring a qualified contractor to put them together.
