High quality discount kitchen cabinets and vanities are easy to find and buy.
There are 4 main things to consider when remodeling your kitchen:
1. Style/Options.
2.Price/Cost
3. Quality
4, Availibility
We at Denver-Cabinets.com have been in the building industry for over 20 years and have tried to take out the legwork in finding high quality, discount kitchen cabinets that are easily accessible.
Over the years, in our business we have tried many different types of discount kitchen cabinets – from custom to off the shelf at big box stores to RTA cabinets. We have found that the RTA cabinets are by far the least expensive, best looking, offer the most selection and are readily available. For us, that means we can stick to our budget, stick to our quality standards and hit our timeline with our projects.
All of the discount kitchen cabinets manufacturers that we recommend have solid wood boxes. There is no MDF on the boxes we recommend. The reason we do not like MDF is that it is not durable and the cams on assembly can be overtightened and mushroom the MDF. I know that IKEA sells a lot of very in expensive RTA cabinets, but most that I have seen are MDF boxes. Plywood boxes are super durable and almost foolproof in assembly.
Next time you are in Home Depot or Lowes, check out the off the shelf cabinets construction. These are also made with MDF with a plastic veneer on the sides and with either veneer’d faces and wood frames. Also check out an MDF sink base a couple of years after install and life,. The base is usually blown out and needs to have a replacement panel placed in the bottom (due to moisture). With a real wood box, this will not happen. Also, with a wood box there is even staining and aging over the life of the cabinets. For the above reasons, we never recommend MDF- It looks cheap and is.
Choice is a major factor when choosing cabinets for your kitchen.
At denver-cabinets.com, we pass along the discounts we get from the companies we actually use. We do not offer coupon codes for products that we do not personally have experience with. The reason to offer you our reviews andpricing on discount kitchen cabinets and other products is to take some of the pain out of your remodel.
As we review and use different suppliers and manufacturers, we will let you know what we think. We also welcome your comments, questions and suggestions. We are trying to get our readers the best possible deal on quality discount kitchen cabinets they can get without having to go through all of the hassles we have had to go through.
To help you get the best possible deals on discount kitchen cabinets, denver-cabinets.com has put together a coupon page. when you are at that page, you can click on the supplier’s website, shop for cabinets and use the coupon code listed to get our pricing. This will save you at least 10% on your cabinets.
Usually, any discount kitchen cabinet order over $1500.00 offers free shipping and there is no tax on an internet order.
Another benefit we found buying discount kitchen cabinets online is that they deliver to your house or site. This is a great benefit because cabinets are heavy, bulky and can get damaged during transit from the store to you. When they are shipped, they are insured (although we have yet to have any damage to the cabinets).Aside from the discounts offered on the coupon page, we also have an opt-in page to get you an even greater deal on discount kitchen cabinets.

Cabinet Discounters RTA Cabinets
When we review cabinet discounters from the internet, we look for RTA Cabinets only. RTA cabinets are ready to assemble cabinets. These cabinets are great looking. easy to assemble, easy to ship without incurring damage, and low cost.
The RTA cabinets we recommend are constructed from all wood and not MDF or melamine. The cabinet discounters that sell the MDF style of cabinet are not going to be referred here. THis is because a MDF box is not as durable, does not hold up to water and can be damaged during the construction of the box buy overtightening the cams. An all wood box is a much more durable cabinet and is more forgiving if the initial fit is not right. With MDF you get one shot and if it is not right, the material breaks apart.
Most cabinet discounters will offer a thermofoil/MDF line as well as their all higher end lines of RTA Cabinets. We only recommend you use the all plywood box lines they offer. The frames on the cabinets are also wood and are durable.
One of the most important things to have done when ordering from Cabinet discounters is your layout. This may seem difficult, but it really is not (you can refer to the how to layout your kitchen on the page Design). This needs to be accurate so when the cabinets arrive, your kitchen is ready to go in. I always order a few extra filler strips (3′-6″) because they are cheap insurance on the instal and they can be ripped to fill any gaps or mis-measurements you may have. You do not need to go overboard, but they do help out.
Most cabinet discounters also supply free shipping on their orders if the RTA Cabinet order is over a certain amount. This is usually between $1500.00- $2500.00. Which is not a hard threshold to hit when you are remodeling an entire kitchen. The shipping is almost always delivered to either you door or job-site. You should verify this with the cabinet discounters because they sometimes use shipping companies that only deliver to places with a loading dock ( the trucks sometimes do not have a lift gate).
Once you have ordered your cabinets, you should expect delivery within 7-10 working days. I always check with the cabinet discounters verbally when the cabinets will be delivered and get a tracking number.
I also check on the availability of all of the cabinets in my order. This is especially true if you are buying closeouts on a certain style from the cabinet discounters. I have personally run into a supply problem after the fact when I ordered a kitchen online and found out after the fact that they were backordered on a cabinet. This may not sound like much, but it is huge! One cabinet missing from your layout will look like a smile without a front tooth.
If you follow the above guide to cabinet Discounters you should be fine when buying RTA cabinets.
ALWAYS CHECK THE ACTUAL AVAILABILITY WITH YOUR CABINET DISCOUNTERS!
