Our company does not use cheap Chinese methods for our cabinet assembly. We have noticed that almost all other RTA Cabinet stores online use cam-locks, metal clips or plastic L brackets for their assembly (We can best describe this assembly method is as if you were purchasing an entertainment center from a office supply store and had to screw it together with metal dials.) Using their Chinese method of assembly is not durable, unstable and can cause your cabinets to be racked (out of square) which is a major headache for installation.

How Our RTA Kitchen Cabinet Assembly Method Differs From Other Stores

Our cabinets are made with a 1/2" plywood back, top, bottom & sides along with an additional 1/2" hanging rail to add extra support to your cabinet when it is attached to your wall. Our company uses I-Beam Construction which is used by custom cabinet companies here in the USA. We cut our plywood here in the USA to ensure quality and durability.

Assembly Options:

Flat Pack unassembled orders are shipped so you can assemble the cabinets upon receipt.
Order Your RTA Kitchen Cabinets Pre-Assembled: Online Cabinets Direct offers cabinet assembly for $50.00 per base/wall cabinet & $100.00 per Tall Oven/Utility Cabinet.

How To Assemble Our RTA Kitchen Cabinets

Our cabinets do not use camlocks, metal clips nor plastic corner brackets for assembly. We use the same construction method as high end custom cabinet companies here in the USA. Online Cabinets Direct is a US base company and know the difference in cabinet quality. Our cabinets are not built to Chinese specifications like other online cabinet stores. We build our cabinets to USA standards to ensure they will last for many years to come because we are American and know quality is your main concern.
