One thing about price, when you have a large order, Home Depot will send your quote to the "bid room" and you can negotiate a lower price. Cherry, sunset stain, Lennox Court door style from Home Depot. Uppers - 36-inch pantry with deluxe undermount soft close glides, 2 frig panels, 27-inch, 2 large angled corner cabinets, four 24-inch, 30-inch over stove, fluted columns, one 12 inch angled, decorative door for end of peninsula, panel for back on peninsula, simple crown molding, toe kick, scribe molding, stainless steel tilt out. I am not sure how many linear feet I have, but here are the details.īase - 27-inch 3 drawer, blind corner (not sure on the size), 15-inch full height garbage, 33-inch fluted clipped corner sink base, 2 super susan cabinets, two 18-inch door/drawers, 30-inch 3 drawer for pots and pans (has stronger drawer glides to handle weight), 12-inch door/drawer. Whatever you do, do not expect KraftMaid to be a far superior product.It's moderately superior, at best. If you are playing to move in the future, I'd say save the money and go with Shenandoah. So, depending how complex your layout is, you might be able to do Shenandoah Cabinets and be perfectly happy with saving some $ in this economy. Plus, as I said, Amer Woodmark just did not have the cabinet sizes we wanted to do our kitchen. A couple things KM does better are the supersusans (wood tray, not plastic, no pole going all they way through the center) and the pantry cabinets with extra deep dovetail pull-outs. I do think we got a lot of cabinets for our $11,000 (cherry wood, 2 corner supersusans, soft close drawers, large pantry with deluxe undermount glides, 2 large 3-drawer bases, fluted columns, crown molding, etc), but I think we could have gotten a similar quality cabinet out of American Woodmark. We need to just get on with our lives so we let it go.Life's too short. I had an issue with some the stain not looking even and they sent a Tech out to inspect it and he pretty much blew me off (long story). We had some defects and they replaced them right away. We didn't do plywood boxes to save $ and the boxes just seem cheap, lots of glue and staples. Once we received them, we were not overly impressed with our KraftMaid cabinets. Plus, we really THOUGHT we were buying a superior quality product. We did consider Amer Woodmark for our current home, but KraftMaid offered many more options in terms of cabinet sizes, so we went with them. I thought their base pull outs were cheap and kept falling off the rail.I'd skip theirs and buy aftermarket ones. We did buy plywood boxes and upgraded the drawers to full extension undermount (that might be standard these days, not sure). The American Woodmark were decent budget cabinets. And I just installed a KraftMaid kitchen in our current home ($11,000), so here are my 2 cents. I think they are the same company (Shenandoah=Lowe's, American Woodmark=Home Depot). if you have any other questions or concerns please feel free to text me 4075048623.I can't comment on Shenandoah, but I did buy American Woodmark cabinets for a small kitchen in 2001 ($3500). always trying to outdo the previous year to make their stockholders happy. also this time of year is several builders ”year end” which undortunately is when they have a mad rush to close as many house as they can. some builders include a service bump in their contract and some dont. if youre getting resistance from your builder that usually means theres a tug of war about whos going to pay for the service. your punch out tech ahould have a cleaning solution that will clean that off. usually the wrong sheen on filled areas is because the installer didn't take time to wipe away the excess putty / caulk. and they are usually willing to replace several doors on a job if you feel they have too many loose joints. so as long as you dont have to get right on top of it to see it they should be willing to address. i believe timberakes policy is what does it look like from an arms distance. put painters tape on every issue and keep referring to the model. generally they try to make the model look really good but your house shouldnt look any less than how they have displayed the cabinets in the model. my advice is take each area of concern and compare it to the model. if you have unfilled nail holes it sounds to me like your punch out hasnt been done yet which should also address your other issues. this may not always be the case but generally. whats the name of your cabinet line? i know the color is linen but whats the name of the cabinet? typically the installation is also done by timberlake. i worked for timberlake for about 15 years and still use their product for my cabinet jobs.
