RTA Kitchens

by Adrian How

“Time for a new kitchen you say? Yeah. I’ve heard that before. Actually, I have been hearing it since we bought this house! (And that was about 10 years ago)”. Does this exchange sound somewhat familiar to anyone?

Let’s face it, women like beautiful things and kitchen cabinets are no different. In today’s new millennia, the kitchen is probably the most occupied room in the house. It’s the place to be. It is where cooking, eating and entertaining all happen. Large kitchens and open floor plans are becoming the new trend thereby making the formal dining room virtually extinct. It is no wonder that people invest the most into it financially.

The kitchen is taking a new stand and is generally the focal point of today’s homes. With all the new features available, there is something innovative for everyone. And that is without getting a custom! RTA (ready-to-assemble) cabinet lines are producing custom style pieces making the kitchen more affordable without compromising on its quality and aesthetics.

Still skeptical? It’s important to make an educated choice. Let’stake a lookout there and see some of the options that are available.

Those that are frequently hosting parties may benefit from a large island or peninsula to have guests seated around. Wine racks and refrigerators are popular and useful as well as wine glass holders. For those that have decorative china dinnerware and/or knick-knacks to display, the kitchen may be just the place. Glass doors for wall cabinets as well as open shelving units and plate racks are easy and perfect for this use. Corbels are available to support raised countertops, and various sizes of crown molding are available to add height and beauty to the room. And, oh! Were you planning on installing under-cabinet lighting? No need to worry about it showing. Light rail molding is available to hide the light boxes as well as finish off the bottom of the cabinetry. Easy storage solutions such as lazy susans, drawer bases and cutlery dividers are available for the avid cook as are rack dividers and an appliance garage for passionate bakers.

So there must be catch, is what you are thinking? Nope! RTA cabinets made of solid wood and plywood (no MDF or particleboard), with drawers that are soft-closing, of dovetail construction with under-mount glides are becoming increasingly popular for the new (and old) homeowners. And the most attractive part, (other than the cabinet itself of course!), is that they are in stock, no twelve week lead times. Shipping out in two weeks? That works.
