RTA cabinets are a staple for DIYers. They make it easy and affordable to assemble and install cabinets and vanities yourself, and do it successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help get you started, take a look at these 10 top asked questions. Our cabinet experts have provided the answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>What are ready to assemble cabinets? What does RTA stand for?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRTA stands for ready to assemble. That means they ship flat in components. Then you put them together. They come with instructions or you can access our resources library of written and video instructions.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>How much are RTA cabinets?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRTA cabinets vary in price depending on the material they are made out of, their style, etc. With our low price guarantee, we promise we\u2019ll beat the price on the same exact cabinet.

Are RTA cabinets good quality?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRTA cabinets are high quality at a reasonable price. Depending on the model, we use HDF, MDF, plywood, and even hardwoods to construct the cabinets. Many have dovetail joinery, soft close doors\/drawers, and other perks that make these cabinets so desirable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Are RTA cabinets real wood?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDifferent cabinets are made of different materials. We use MDF, HDF, plywood, and real wood in the construction of our cabinets. For most cabinets, the door or drawer is made of hardwood and the cabinet box is constructed of MDF\/HDF or plywood, which is more affordable and more conducive to the kitchen or bath.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/rtacabinetstore.blob.core.windows.net\/rtacabinet\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/02181102\/FAQ-2-1024x536.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4969\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rtacabinetstore.blob.core.windows.net\/rtacabinet\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/02181102\/FAQ-2-1024x536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/rtacabinetstore.blob.core.windows.net\/rtacabinet\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/02181102\/FAQ-2-600x314.jpg 600w, https:\/\/rtacabinetstore.blob.core.windows.net\/rtacabinet\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/02181102\/FAQ-2-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rtacabinetstore.blob.core.windows.net\/rtacabinet\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/02181102\/FAQ-2-640x335.jpg 640w, https:\/\/rtacabinetstore.blob.core.windows.net\/rtacabinet\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/02181102\/FAQ-2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rtacabinetstore.com\/RTA-Kitchen-Cabinets\/ostland-white\/?cache=rep\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Find similar cabinets.<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3>How fast can you assemble RTA cabinets?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith a little know-how and some experience, the cabinets come together very quickly.
