Kraftmaid

We ordered solid maple cabinets with white painted finish and purchased/had them installed via Lowes. We purchased the cabinets and labor in full a year ago and we still are waiting to get defective cabinet doors and microwave shelf replaced. Kraftmaid ships the replacements directly via UPS and it is clear that there are problems with the items that are due to poor quality control and not due to damage during shipping. They have replaced numerous doors and drawer faces, but many of the replacement items had to be replaced more than once. Problems we have experienced: 1) paint entirely missing from door in 1 x 6 inch area. No primer, no paint, just bare wood. 2) Defective drawer box missing parts and not assembled correctly at the factory. 3) Very rough areas that were not properly sanded or filled prior to painting on drawer faces and doors. 4) large cracks in cabinet door and drawer face when removed from shipping boxes 5) cracked and chipped paint falling off microwave shelf. First replacement shelf has warped veneer, chipped paint and large unsightly gaps between veneer and edge of shelf in three separate locations. 6) discoloration in finish bleeding from below, 7) multiple small bumps on door face paint, 8) missing/chipped paint on front of cabinet door along face edge Pros: slide out shelves are convenient, smooth, and solidly built. So far, they have replaced defective parts, but the volume of defects is totally unacceptable. I would not recommend Kraftmaid for painted finish cabinets and regret having gone through Lowes for our kitchen remodel.

We redid our kitchen in 2004 and chose Kraftmaid cabinets and they have are still in excellent condition. Our kitchen is a country kitchen and it is the center of the house so it is a busy place. These cabinets have stood the test of time.

Ordered 3 bathroom base cabinets and one over the counter linen cabinet. It took 5 weeks for delivery. The following day I had my cabinet guy to install them. He started with cutting the boxes and getting the cabinets out. I could not believe my eyes when I saw the conditions of the cabinets. 3 cabinets where broken beyond repairs. Had to pay the guy for his 1/2-day work (he did not work since could not use the cabinets). called the place where I bought them from and was told wait another 4 weeks for the replacement. I tried to return them, however, was told I could not! Kraftmaid products are garbage. I can not believe I ordered them despite of all the terrible reviews. garbage, garbage, garbage

We put Kraftmaid Cabinets in the new house we built 12 years ago. They still look like brand new. We have pets, grandkids and a lot of company and they are holding up just great. We had no issues when we bought them at lowes but we had a great salesperson at the store which i think makes a world of difference no matter which cabinets you buy. We had one issue with one cabinet that started to pull away from the wall. We called lowes and they ordered us a new cabinet no charge and installed it no questions asked. Apparently there was an issue with the installation. So we are building a new house and we are putting kraftmaid in once again. Believe me we wouldn't do it if we weren't convinced they are great cabinets.
