Even though you can save huge amounts of money by ordering quality ready-to-assemble kitchen cabinets or bathroom cabinets, choosing the right RTA cabinets is still important, both for your own satisfaction with your new kitchen or bathroom, and to save money by avoiding the cost and inconvenience of having to ship back a set of cabinets that doesn\u2019t fit right, or just isn\u2019t what you thought it would be once you get it into the light it will actually live in. Here are some tips to help make sure that doesn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be Realistic About What you Want<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Dark stained wood, or black painted cabinets<\/a> may seem rich and decadent in your mind\u2019s eye, but will they really work in that poorly-lit interior bathroom with no window? Style and personality is great, and a necessary part of any remodeling project, but keep in mind, your cabinets are something you\u2019re going to live with for many years to come. Perhaps more importantly, if and when it comes time to sell your house and move, the next owners will have to be able to live with them as well\u2014and want to buy a house that includes them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bottom line is: be creative, and show some personality\u2014but in the way you accessorize your kitchen or bathroom. When it comes to major fixtures like cabinets and vanities, when in doubt, go a little more conservative than your first instinct, and you\u2019ll wind up with something that won\u2019t drive you crazy in a few years\u2019 time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Order Door Samples<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve narrowed down your top one or two picks as far as cabinet style, it\u2019s easy to just go for it, and place the order. We recommend slowing down a moment though, and instead suggest that you order a sample door. This will let you see the quality of our cabinets for yourself, in case you have any lingering doubts. Much more importantly, it will also let you see what the design you\u2019ve chosen will actually look like in your house, against other materials nearby, and in the actual lighting it will be installed in. Stains and paints alike have a way of changing more than you might think in different kinds and angles of lighting, and the highly-contoured design you fall in love with on our website might wind up with garishly long shadows in a kitchen lit purely from above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the sample door is one less door you\u2019ll have to buy on the final order, so you\u2019re not really spending any money you wouldn\u2019t have spent anyway. If you ordered more than one style, or if you change your mind about the style you thought you wanted, just request a return authorization, and you can ship your doors back via any carrier you wish for a full refund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
