Ready-to-assemble cabinets (or RTA cabinets) are an affordable way to get your kitchen remodel done. They can be installed quickly, which means you don’t have to do without your sink for long. However, there are some things that you should know before jumping into a project like this. In this article we’ll cover what RTA cabinets are and how they work as well as the pros and cons of using them in your home renovation project.
What are RTA cabinets?
RTA cabinets, or Ready-to-Assemble cabinets, are pre-assembled but not yet fully assembled. The doors and drawers are not attached to the body of the cabinet. Instead, they come in boxes with all the parts labeled clearly for easy assembly by homeowners who have little to no experience with carpentry. RTA cabinets can be an economical alternative to custom cabinetry because they’re less expensive than custom cabinets and take less time to install than prefabricated ones.
The advantages of RTA cabinets
Besides the time advantage associated with RTA cabinets, they’re also inexpensive and have a low profile, which means they can be used in any room of your house or apartment. They can be painted or stained for a custom look, making them perfect for renters who want to add personality without having to commit long-term. Additionally, if you’re looking for something that will help divide up space without being too permanent (e.g., if you live in an apartment with shared walls), RTA cabinets are ideal because the removal process is quick and efficient.
The disadvantages of RTA cabinets
● Assembly required. RTA cabinets are not pre-assembled, so you’ll need to put them together yourself. If you’re not a DIYer and you don’t have time for assembly, this could be an issue for you. You might also want to consider hiring someone else to assemble your RTA cabinet if it has lots of parts or is complicated in some way (such as requiring tools).
● Some RTA cabinets aren’t as sturdy as custom cabinets. Since they are made in factories and shipped flat on pallets, there’s no way for manufacturers to ensure that each one meets exacting quality standards before being sold online–and sometimes even after being delivered! This means that some people may end up with slightly flimsy-feeling drawers or doors that don’t close properly due their poor construction materials used during manufacturing process.
These additional resources can help you if you’re considering using RTA cabinets in your home.
If you’re considering using RTA cabinets, it’s important that you know what to look for. Here are some resources that can help:
● Reviews: The best way to find out if a product is right for you is by reading reviews from real customers who have used the product. You can find these on websites such as Amazon, Wayfair and Home Depot.
● Product information pages: These sites also offer detailed information about each individual piece of furniture in their catalogs so you can get an idea of its quality before purchasing it.
