Assembled Cabinets

Selecting kitchen cabinets can become time consuming and stressful. It is very important to find the right provider. We are one of the highest rated pre-assembled cabinet retailers, we are accredited by the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and members of the National Kitchen and Bathroom Association. Here are a few reasons why you should get your kitchen cabinets from us.

Cabinet Quality

We carefully select suppliers and manufacturers to make sure we offer the best products available. All our cabinet boxes are made of plywood. We do not use particle board for cabinet box construction. Most cabinets come with soft closing door and drawer hardware. We also offer a variety of different cabinet finishes and colors.

When choosing a set of new cabinets for your kitchen, you will come across one choice: whether you should choose the framed option or not. Popularity-wise, frameless cabinets are the biggest hit, which is why you probably decided you should try them out. Still, before hitting the stamp on your decision, you need to learn as much about frameless cabinets as you possibly can.

Frameless Kitchen Cabinet FAQ

What are frameless kitchen cabinets?

Frameless cabinets do not feature a face frame and are also referred to as “full access cabinets”. Since the face frame is removed from the box, you get more ease of access, but you also win a couple of extra inches in terms of storage. The cabinet also tends to be thicker so that the construction is more durable. Since frameless cabinets have seamless lines, with the doors directly attached to the exterior of the hooks, these cabinets tend to have a rather sleek look. They are perfect for those that wish to give their kitchen a more modern appeal.

What is the difference between framed and frameless cabinets?

The difference in framed and frameless kitchen cabinets lies in how the front frame is constructed. Framed kitchen cabinets will generally have a 0.5-2-inch frame that lays over the cabinet box front. The door is then attached to the frame, adding dimension, sturdiness, and strength. A frameless kitchen cabinet will be like a framed cabinet – only without the frame. The door to these cabinets will simply be attached to the cabinet box, giving off a more modern and contemporary look. In the absence of these frames, a frameless cabinet will have to rely on thicker boxes for stability and strength.

Are frameless cabinets considered modern?

Since they do not have a frame, these cabinets tend to be quite sleek and attractive – making them a suitable choice for those that wish to go for a more modern kitchen look. Plus, since the doors of most of these cabinets have hidden hinges, they will provide quite a clean and flawless look.

Do frameless cabinets provide extra space?

Since frameless kitchen cabinets do not have a frame to take up any extra space in the cabinets, they can save up to 15% of the space you have in the kitchen. Frames generally obstruct the opening and do not allow you to place as many items in there as you would normally do. Since the frame is no longer there, you may efficiently use that space as well.

Framed Kitchen Cabinet Design Ideas

Framed kitchen cabinets offer a world of design possibilities, combining classic elegance with contemporary flair. The clean border around the front of each cabinet door lends itself to a variety of styles, making it easy to personalize your kitchen to suit your design.

For a timeless and traditional look, opt for raised panel framed cabinets like our Pearl or Dark Caramel cabinets. The raised center panel adds depth and dimension to the cabinet doors, while the framing brings a sense of refinement to the overall design. Pair these cabinets with ornate hardware and a warm, neutral color palette for a charming, inviting kitchen space.

If you’re drawn to modern kitchen aesthetics, go for flat-panel or shaker framed cabinets in alight shade like Thompson White and Ice White Shaker . Their simple and sleek design exudes a minimalist vibe, perfect for achieving a clean, uncluttered look. Enhance the contemporary feel with brushed metal hardware and bold, contrasting colors for a striking and cutting-edge kitchen design.

If you love diving into a DIY project or are a contractor looking for a lower-cost cabinet, RTA cabinets are the perfect option.

Although you’re saving with RTA cabinets , you’re getting the same high quality as custom cabinetry, plus the ability to customize your order with accessories like custom moldings, roll-out trays, or decor legs.

All our assembled cabinet options feature high-quality Grade-A plywood boxes, finished matching door interiors, and sides built to withstand wear and tear.

Face Frame Hinges

Because framed cabinets have a face frame attached to the cabinet, you can use sturdier cabinet hinges. Some hinges add stylistic detail, like exposed hinges, while others are simply for function.

Check out our guide to choosing cabinet hinges for more information.

Frameless vs. Framed Cabinets

While framed kitchen cabinets have a face frame for extra dimension and sturdiness, frameless kitchen cabinets do not. Frameless style cabinets feature cabinet doors attached to the sides of the cabinet box, offering seamless lines on the front frame for a sleek modern or contemporary look.

In addition to the construction, differences between frameless vs. framed kitchen cabinets include:

• Aesthetic: Framed kitchen cabinets are well suited for traditional or transitional kitchens, while frameless cabinets work best with modern styles.
• Storage space: Frameless kitchen cabinets offer more storage space and have larger drawers.
• Hinges: Framed cabinet hinges are attached to the face frame, which allows for more reliable hardware, while frameless cabinet hinges are attached directly to the box.
• Durability: Framed kitchen cabinets tend to have more strength and stability from the added dimension of the face frame.
• Cost: Because frameless cabinets are made from a denser material, they cost an average of $1,000 more than framed cabinets.
