Quality Grade Differences
Our organization has identified seven ( 7 ) different quality grades: Shop-built, Ready-to-assemble ( RTA ), Production, Semi-custom, Popular, Furniture, and Luxury. With so many quality grades, you can imagine the broad spectrum in features, benefits, and pricing.
Indeed, no cabinet manufacturer - local, regional, or national - can stay in business very long unless its product is priced right for value received. If a product costs more, you can correctly assume that there must be more invested in the way of materials, manufacturing, or marketing dollars that add value. Knowing how, where, and why these investments were made, and what they mean to you as a consumer, is one major reason to see a professional kitchen specialist.
Recognizing both the tangible and intangible differences between quality grades will help you understand the seemingly wide feature/price variances. This investigative process will lead you to a wise final product selection.
Local cabinet shops produce the ”shop-built” cabinetry which, in some regions, are only finished on the site. RTA, Production, and Semi-custom are mostly available through home centers; some kitchen specialists carry them as well. Since skilled designers and craftsmen are necessary, Popular, Furniture, and Luxury grade cabinetry are almost exclusively available through professional kitchen specialists.
