We provide many pictures, encourage ordering samples, and emphasize the importance of measuring your kitchen correctly. Since we can\u2019t send people to your house to measure, we must go by the measurements you take, and if a mistake happens, there\u2019s not much we can do about it. If it\u2019s a mistake that we did, then we will make sure it\u2019s righted quickly, but when the error is because of improper measuring, we can\u2019t take the full responsibility. There are many reasons why it\u2019s important to take and retake the measurements before ordering the cabinets.<\/p>\n<h3>Improperly Measured New Kitchen Cabinets Don\u2019t Look Good<\/h3>\n<p>When the measurements for the new kitchen cabinets are wrong, they won\u2019t look right when you install them. The problem is when you\u2019re building the cabinets themselves, you probably won\u2019t notice anything wrong. It\u2019s only when you put them on the wall that problems happen. What those problems will be depends on what dimensions are off. You may find out the cabinets don\u2019t reach all the way to the wall. They might be too tall or a drawer may not be able to open all the way. If you try to finish out the entire project, it\u2019s not going to look like you want. There\u2019s going to be something off and it will always bother you.<\/p>\n<h3>Returning Kitchen Cabinetry Isn\u2019t Easy<\/h3>\n<p>When we make an error, we will take care of all costs associated with remedying that error, but when it\u2019s caused by the customer, our hands are tied. The customer will have to pay for the new cabinets to be shipped and the old cabinets to be returned. There is also a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/shipping-returns\/\">restocking fee<\/a>. If you already put the cabinets together, then you\u2019ll likely want to deconstruct them prior to shipment to save money. As you might guess, this is not an experience most people want to have. Taking a few extra minutes to make sure the measurements are correct can save you a lot of time and money.<\/p>\n<h3>You Must Wait for New Ready to Assemble Cabinets<\/h3>\n<p>So, you discovered the dimensions you provided were wrong and now the cabinets must be returned. What are you going to use for cabinets until the new ones arrive? If you\u2019re lucky, you didn\u2019t completely remove the old cabinets from the house, because it\u2019s going to take about a week or more for the new ready to assemble cabinets to arrive. If you have gotten rid of them, then you\u2019re going to have a long time to either eat off paper plates or get creative with storage. It\u2019s not going to be fun and you\u2019ll not be happy.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have your dimensions ready to go, then take a look at out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/offers\/free-download\/\">free cabinet guide<\/a> and begin what will be a wonderful experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Don\u2019t do your cabinet measurements haphazardly.
