This review is an addendum to my previous review of Cabinets to Go. I was having trouble with the drawer glides for my slide out trash receptacle. I requested a warranty replacement from CTG headquarters, but the glides were out of stock. No problem, I can wait. A couple of months go by, still no glides, still showing out of stock. Then, last week, a large shipping carton shows up, containing a new and improved trash receptacle and mounting hardware! The accompanying letter from CTG's director of customer care explained since my order was on backorder for so long, CTG decided to give me an upgrade! This new receptacle was a big improvement on the previous model, easier to install, and with ability to fine-tune the alignment of the receptacle. I already was a big fan of Cabinets To Go, but after this exceptional piece of customer service, I'm a customer for life.
After getting pricing (and sticker shock) on kitchen cabinets from a big-box home improvement store, we decided to give the new Syracuse location of Cabinets To Go a shot. We worked with George, who took lots of time helping us decide which style of cabinets to order, and designing a layout to maximize the layout in our small kitchen. He came to our house to take measurements, and used a 3-D modeling program to provide us with images to visualize our design better. We had a couple of minor hiccups with ordering our cabinets, but no big deal, we got everything in on time.
The cabinets are flat pack, and we had to assemble them ourselves, but this went pretty smoothly, with the exception of the lazy susan cabinet we chose for the corner of the room. (If you order one of these, MAKE SURE to pay attention to the instruction video that George has filmed for this cabinet, as the instructions that come with it are not terribly easy to follow!) Cabinets To Go will assemble the cabinets for you, for a cost of 10% of your cabinet quote, which would be worth it if you're not too handy with tools, or if you want to save time and effort. The cabinets are MUCH nicer than comparable models at the big-box stores, (real wood, not thermofoil), with slow-close hardware and dovetail joints. They are also priced MUCH better; in a 10' x 12' kitchen, we saved over $1,000 vs. the big-box store!
Cabinets To Go also sells flooring, which we did not purchase, as we had already bought our flooring from another store, as well as counter tops, which we did order from them. This work is sub-contracted out to another company, Top Fabricators, which was another very good experience. (see my review here)

All in all, everything went very well, and we love our new kitchen! Everyone comments on how nice it looks, and asks us where we got our cabinets. We can strongly recommend Cabinets To Go to anyone who wants to renovate their kitchen without breaking the bank. See my profile for pics of this project. read more
