About RTA Cabinets

ASSEMBLED CABINETS VS. READY TO ASSEMBLE (RTA) CABINETS

Kitchen cabinets are usually purchased and delivered in one of two ways: Assembled or Ready to assemble (RTA).

Assembled kitchen cabinets are delivered already assembled, built from the manufacturer and ready to be installed in the home. Assembled cabinets do not require the homeowner to build the cabinets; everything is complete, including all the drawers and hardware components. RTA kitchen cabinets are delivered in a form that is commonly referred to as ‘flat packed’ or unassembled.

RTA cabinets require the consumer to put together and build the cabinets at the location that they are being installed. The cabinet is in a broken down form and will require a little extra work from the installer, however, are generally offered at a lower price.

We offers both types of cabinets to appeal to different types of buyers. We have listed the pros & cons of both types and would like to get your opinion on which type you prefer.
