As a cabinets manufacturer and distributor, Guilin Cabinets has access to a wide range of cabinet selections, from custom, and semi-custom cabinets, to RTA cabinets, and even to cabinet refacing.

With the various options available on the market, it can easily be overwhelming. Below will highlight each of the types of cabinets along with the advantages and disadvantages of each, which is intended to educate and ultimately help you decide on which is the right cabinet for you. Depending on what you prioritize, you may find that one easily stands out to meet your needs.

Your Dream Cabinets, Made-to-Measure, Made Real

Regardless of whether you need new custom cabinets, RTA cabinets, or cabinet refacing, we are confident we have a solution for you.

The ability to tailor the design of each cabinet to your exact specifications is a major selling point of custom-made cabinets. Beyond the typical store-bought shaker cabinets, you can put on additional features. Among these, you will find:

Custom Cabinets

Custom cabinets are considered the top of the line cabinetry. Going this route allows full customization across choice of wood material, color, and sizing of frames and doors, which are usually meticulously crafted to have the cabinet doors fit perfectly inside the cabinet frame for a flush look. While custom-tailored cabinets certainly have their own appeal, there are a few things to think about when considering custom cabinets.

First, the cost is significantly higher when compared to semi-custom/RTA cabinets or cabinet refacing. Additionally, the turnaround time is much longer since everything is made to order and there is nothing in inventory.

Lastly, with inset cabinet doors, there is a little less cabinet space when compared to semi-custom/RTA cabinets or refacing since the doors are inside the cabinets. All in all, if these are not concerns, then custom cabinets do look the best and have the highest quality materials.

Semi-Custom and RTA Cabinets

Semi-custom and ready-to-assemble (RTA) cabinets are probably the most popular choice today due to their lower pricing, availability, and ease of installation. These pre-fabricated cabinets come in preset sizes and can essentially fit anywhere. These preset sizes have become standardized in many different dimensions and can be configured to fit your space. While they won’t have the same fitment as custom cabinets, they still have incredibly good fitment and if executed properly, can look virtually like custom cabinets. 

One major difference is that these types of cabinets generally have the overlay cabinet doors, where they cover the cabinet face rather than fitting into the interior of the cabinet frame.  However, to the the untrained eye, it’s nearly impossible to tell the difference. These cabinets can still maintain a very premium and high-quality feel without the cost of custom cabinets. Visit our 3D showroom to see the various sizing of RTA/semi-custom cabinets. Not sure which sizes to choose? No problem. Our team will measure your space and determine the optimal sizes to fit into your kitchen or bathroom.   

Availability of inventory is also a major advantage of RTA/semi-custom cabinets.  Because the sizes are already pre-defined, manufacturing can build up inventory, which is very important in today’s global supply chain challenges.  Guilin Cabinets is proud to have several cabinet styles readily available in inventory so that projects can begin right away and finish as soon as possible.  Who doesn’t want their remodeling project finished sooner?

Cabinet Refacing In 3 Days

Guilin Cabinets is now proud to offer professional cabinet refacing for our customers! Cabinet refacing is a great option for those who have cabinets in which their frames still have their structural integrity and can be re-used, and those who want to maintain their same cabinet layout. What’s great about this option is that refacing can be done in a much shorter amount of time than replacing the entire cabinet, and the price is generally much lower than demolishing the old cabinets and replacing with all new wooden box frames. On top of that, another advantage is the timing in which the project can be completed. Short on time? Our professional cabinet refacing service can be completed in as little as 3 DAYS! While cabinet refacing is already in general cheaper than replacing entire cabinets, our cabinet refacing pricing is unbeatable compared to some of the leading big companies in this space.
