Reviewed by:

Modular ready-to-assemble modular cabinets are offered with an optional design service, to help you create the perfect kitchen. The cabinet interiors and invisible exteriors are 5/8" white melamine. Choose from 17 styles of cabinet door and drawer fronts, in laminates, wood veneers or solid wood. Hardwoods include maple, oak, cherry, alder and beech.

Cabinet hardware is included, but anchoring hardware for wall-hung cabinets must be purchased separately. Cabinet assembly requires a hammer, screwdrivers (slotted and phillips) power drill, pilot bit and tape measure. A base cabinet (2-door, 36" wide) with cherry door front cost $230 (November 2004).
