Review Detail

We bought American Woodmark kitchen cabinets through XXXXXX about 6 years ago, so we've had them installed for some time. First off, we ordered plywood cabinets, but one of the cabinets was not plywood. The problem with that is when the installers are putting in the cabinets, you don't have time to wait another 4 - 6 weeks for a replacement. XXXXX ended up refunding the difference. After the installation, we noticed that one of the upper cabinets was also a different style... the european style which doesn't have a front. Luckily, it wasn't that noticeable, but strike two. Finally, after a few months, we started to notice that the pantry cabinet shelves were starting to fall off the shelf supports. I replaced the plastic shelf supports with heavy duty steel supports, but the problem persisted. Upon closer inspection, we found that the cabinet sides were bowing outward. We had a finish carpenter try to shore up the cabinets, but that was difficult without completely removing the cabinet from the wall. He showed me that even though the cabinets were plywood, they were only 1/2" instead of usual 3/4" you would expect for pantry cabinet that would hold canned goods. Even our bathroom cabinets are 3/4". Noticing further problems with the upper cabinets, we are now in the process of ripping out these garbage cabinets and replacing them with a much better brand. Do yourself a favor, DO NOT BUY WOODMARK.. they are cheaply made junk. I wouldn't even consider putting these cabinets in my garage now.
