"Worst 15K I ever spent"
You might as well pick the off the shelf units Home Depot sells. I spent 15k on a small galley kitchen, order was "f'd" up, had to wait 30 days to fix and still not right. How you can charge that much for crap I don't know but it has cost Home Depot a very large customer. Stay away from this company's product and save yourself the pain I went through.

"Cherry Wood Cabinets"
I too ordered the Cherry Wood Cabinets. There were gouges, holes as big as 1/4", poorly stained areas, areas that sander lines (scratches) could be seen, paint runs. Quality control at Kraft Maid is very poor. Met with Kraft Maid rep and am in the process of having had a second set of doors sent. So far 17 have arrived can only use 4. The doors sent are worse than the original. If they had no cracks they had paint runs and sander marks. Since they are so expensive if I could do it over would have gone with custom cabinetry and not dealt with either Kraft Maid or Home Depot.

"KraftMaid Cabinets: Great Quality, Great Price"
Renovating a kitchen can be an overwhelming task. Each aspect of the project, whether it be choosing a faucet or evaluating appliances, requires a homeowner to evaluate hundreds of options before making a decision. However, few aspects of the project are more prominent then the cabinetry. Setting the tone and dictating the color scheme in the kitchen, selecting cabinets is a "make-or-break decision," and one that I did not take lightly. Luckily, I elected to go with KraftMaid, and I could not be more pleased. From the get-go the process was "user friendly" and I was able to place my order and receive the product quickly and without any delay. Installation was also a breeze. The cabinets fit perfectly! (Note: I have never installed anything, anywhere before this! I am a total renovation rookie.) While there was some 'discoloration' on one of the doors, it was within the range of what was presented to me as a possibility, and therefore I did not consider this to be a flaw. Frankly, I'm fairly certain no one would ever notice it if I didn't mention it. Otherwise, the color is gorgeous, as are the details on the doors. My only true complaint is that the doors can be loud. Meaning, if I open one too quickly and it smacks into the wall, it makes a nasty sound. I'm fairly certain this is because the doors are light, and therefore there isn't a whole lot absorbing any of the 'smacking' sound. (Note: I do not mean to imply the doors feel cheap, as their light weight was one of the features I originally noticed. Instead, they feel light and airy, as opposed to a heavy, dark wood that I would envision being used in a darker kitchen.) Overall, I could not be more pleased with my purchase and would recommend KraftMaid cabinets to anyone considering a cabinet purchase.

"Great KraftMaid cabinets in our new kitchen"
We recently remodelled our kitchen and decided to install KraftMaid cabinets along with granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances. We've had the kitchen done for about 3 months and love it more every day. The slab style doors with brushed metal handles look very sleek along side the appliances which gives the kitchen a modern look. The old cabinets were cheap melamine particle board nightmares but we were able to get furniture-grade plywood and all wood doors when we bought the new ones. Not only does the wood look great, but it is strong enough to actually support the granite that we wanted. So far we have no complaints about the cabinets: they were all delivered as ordered and the installers didn't have any problems with the fit. Everyone that comes over tells us how great they look and I can't say enough about the quality and ease of ordering them. I only regret that we didn't use Kraftmaid when we remodelled our master bathroom a couple of years ago.

"Poor Finish"
We purchased Kraftmaid custom kitchen cabinets from Lowes. The quality was much worse than the Kraftmaid cabinets that we bought 30 years ago. The color match among the different cabinets was very poor. The bezel on one cabinet door was crooked. The end grain on most of the door panels was poorly sanded, porous and rough, and several shades darker than the face of the panel. The construction was ok. Two of the shelves were badly warped and were promptly replaced after calling customer service. After complaining about the quality to customer service, we were visited by an account representative who agreed to replace several of the cabinet doors. He was very defensive about the poor quality, saying that we should not expect much more for the price we paid. I definitely do not recommend this brand.

"Review of Vintage Biscottie w/ Cocoa Patina KraftMaid Cabinets"
After months of looking for perfect cabinets to pair with my kitchen renovation plan, I found my Vintage Biscottie w/ Cocoa Petina cabinets from Kraftmaid. Roughly six months ago I had them installed. I love that they are such a versatile finish. I am able to repaint and tile my kitchen in the future without any issues with the color scheme of my cabinets, they are very neutral. Also, they are the easiest upkeep. They are very easy to clean and keep looking brand new. A little bit of lemon water and bleach is all I need to keep them looking flawless. Finally, the cabinets are built very sturdily. They have plenty of space on the inside, but are extremely solid. They can be slammed and filled with heavy dishes, but still remain intact. My only complaint is that the cabinets were pretty expensive, and cost far too much to install. Also, the warranty on them was not great. However, if I could buy the same brand again I would. I would also recommend them to anyone looking for new cabinetry.

"HARD WEARING AND GOOD TO LOOK AT"
I had the cabinets installed about ten years ago when I remodeled my kitchen. As a matter of fact, they lasted longer than the dishwasher that was installed at the same time!! They are solid oak wood and are very sturdy. The doors all have strong hinges so that even the ones that get the most wear have never come loose or become unaligned with constant use. They all stay closed and are properly aligned all the time. I like the adjustable shelving which certainly helps with a variety of storage and for stemware glasses, etc. I have not had to have them repaired and I would definitely buy Kraftmaid again. I actually have recommended them to my neighbor who was redoing her kitchen recently. There is nothing I dislike about these cabinets. As a matter of fact, the installer, when he came to measure for them, recommended a corner turntable under the counter which has been the most help to me and avoided wasted space. One other thing that I liked was that they were affordable, not unreasonably priced at all.

"Krapmaid kitchens"
30K kitchen cabinet remodel via Home Depot. Persistent problems with quality control by Kraftmaid - scratched surfaces, dents, exposed nail holes in utility cabinets, shipping damage on stacked unpadded molding and filler. All this required months of delay waiting for reorders on 15-20% of the order. Recommend another company, unless you and hd have the patience to deal with the reorders.

"Kraftmaid Kitchen Cabinet Review"
We had our kitchen remodeled in January/February of 2011 and couldn't be happier with our Kraftmaid cabinets! They're beautiful and stylish and seem to be holding up to our family's wear and tear without a single real problem. They've been durable and look just beautiful! I chose the cabinets for this remodel and I loved the style and color variety available to me! More importantly, I was particularly impressed with the wide range of options for our kitchen. There are some tight corners and odd spaces that come with an older house, but Kraftmaid provided solutions to each of the "problem" areas in our kitchen. We were able to get extra storage and easy access to things like our heavy cast iron pots and pans without sacrificing good looks! After a few months, we did notice the cabinets had "settled" with the house and the weather changing and the doors needed an adjustment. This was done by my husband and was very simple-took him just a couple of minutes to turn a single screw in each of the doors. Overall, we're extremely pleased with our choice of Kraftmaid and would recommend their cabinets to anyone!

"Crafty Kraftmade kitchen cabinets"
When I first moved in, the cabinets already on display in the kitchen were absolutely hideous! So I did some searching and found some that suited my style a little better. Kraftmaid has a very young, unique style that caught my eye! Since I moved in there has not been any replacements since. So far they have lasted me this whole time living here, and should not have to be replaced for another ten-twenty years! I would love it if these cabinets came standard in my kitchen before moving in, but it was worth the buy! I am sure that I have helped spread the word because already are my co-workers and staff going out and buying cabinets from Kraftmaid. I would recommend this brand to anyone!

"poor customer relations"
2 problems: #1 the spice rack door unit cannot close with spice jars in the rack. The jars hit the shelves in the cabinet. I had to trim the shelves back 2" and drill new holes for the supports. #2 the screws in two of my handles stripped the threads in the handle spacers. Kraftmaid told me I had to buy new handles.

"Cabernet finish - Cherry wood"
I am very unsatisfied with the kraftmaid cherry wood cabernet cabinetry I purchased through Consumers Kitchen and Bath stores. Out of the 106 doors/draws, 17 needed replacing due to cracks, chips, scratches dust under the finish and goopy polyurethane finish that chipped off if you ran your finger over it. Getting them replaced was a huge battle, that took months of phone calls and arguing. I spent over $35,000 on these cabinets and was basically told that I have to live with them the way they are! Totally unsatisfied.

"new cabinets provided more than just space"
When I purchased my home in 2007, I knew it was a fixer upper. The kitchen was in horrible shape with paint chipping off walls and some hideous wallpaper. The appliances were outdated. I knew that it was going to take a lot of time, patience and effort to accomplish my dream of having a beautiful kitchen. I painted the kitchen a grey color, put up new wallpaper, eventually I replaced appliances. To complete my kitchen the last thing that I purchased was cabinets. I purchased my cabinets at a place called kraftmaid cabinetry. The brand I chose was ascentia. I picked a wooden, cherry colored cabinet. I had the cabinets installed while I was away on vacation. When I came home I sat back and was amazed at how far my kitchen had come along. My dream was finally fulfilled, I had my perfect kitchen. Almost everyone that comes into my home comments on my cabinets and I tell them where I got them and recommend they go get some new ones.

"Cost effective, stylish kitchen cabinets."
I have owned Kraftmaid kitchen cabinets for about 8 years now. I like the look of the design, there are a lot to choose from. You can find this brand just about everywhere, even the big box home improvement stores. They are easy to clean, I often cook a lot and sometimes from neglect oil builds up around the cabinets. I've never had to repair or replace anything, they look as good as new. I would definitely buy the same brand again for the cost, the durability, easy maintenance. I keep the insides covered so I'm not sure if they are easily stained.

"Highly Satisfied with my new cabinets"
I have had my cabinets for around two years now, and they look just as great as the day that they were installed. We selected what Kraftmaid calls a "rustic cherry" finish, and the color really makes my kitchen look warm and inviting. I really like the fact that they are easy to clean, as well as pretty durable against scratches and fading. The company we worked with made it really easy to create a customized look for our home. I liked the fact that there were options and variety, and it really helped us create a look that felt like it was designed for our specific space. Another factor that I love are the silver knobs and hardware that we selected to finish off our cabinets. They are strong, quality made objects, and unlike other cabinet hardware I have had in the past, they are still firmly anchored to each drawer and door. I think many people put off renovating their home because they think it will be a hassle, but I had a great experience. It was pain free, and well worth it because my kitchen looks great and I get compliments about it all the time.

"Beautiful Cabinets"
We recently renovated our kitchen and I found some lovely KraftMaid cabinets in cherry finish with beveled glass doors. They're very beautiful but installing them was a bit difficult as I worried about breaking the glass in the cabinet doors. The customer service was average and they were on sale for 15% off, which did influence our decision to buy them.

"Cabinets For A King"
I currently own the KraftMaid Honey Spice Maple OLMSTED kitchen cabinets. They are a delight to have because they provide quality storage while giving a sleek wooden finish to brighten up the kitchen. The Honey Spice Maple coloring is magnificent under the white lights beaming down upon it. I have owned the cabinets for the past 2 years after I moved into a house that it was prebuilt in. I dislike the fact the cabinets need to be cleaned and dusted frequently inside and it is hard to clean in the corners, I have never had to repair or replace it but in the future I may consider it. The only minor repair I had for these cabinets was when I had to sand down the door edges because our cat would scratch them and leave marks. I would definitely buy this brand again and recommend it to a friend.

"Disappointed with Kraftmaid Product"
I purchased my Kraftmaid kitchen cabinets from home depot about 6 years ago. They were presented to me by the salesman as some of the best cabinets on the market. I quickly found that to be an untrue statement. Upon delivery of the cabinets I found that 3 of them were damaged so badly that they could not be installed. We contacted Kraftmaid and they agreed to replace them. This alone took over 3 weeks to get the replacement cabinets delivered to me. Once all of those issues were resolved we finally got the cabinets installed, though I was still unhappy that my project was put behind schedule by over 3 weeks. I will say that I was very satisfied at first with the appearance of the cabinets but soon found that this would not hold true for any length of time. I started to notice small blemishes on the surface of the cabinets after just 2 months time. I contacted the manufacturer and was told that this was normal due to the drying process of the finish of the cabinet and the fact that I lived in Florida. In addition I was told to give it a few more moths and the finish would dry out evenly. I waited about 6 months after the install and still the finish on the cabinets looked uneven and blotchy. I again contacted Kraftmaid but I did not receive any satisfaction at all from them. I was so unhappy with the quality of their product that in less than 1 years time I had the cabinets replaced with a custom manufactured cabinet. I will say that I will never ever purchase another Kraftmaid product again. the main reason for this is their complete lack of customer service. If the company would have offered to help me resolve the issue I would have been more than happy to keep their product but they did not seem to care and offered no resolution to my problems at all.

"KraftMaid Cabinets"
I just recently bought a beautiful sprawling set of KitchenMaid cabinets. I went with the classic and traditional package. They are absolutely stunning they are made entirely of oak. I have not had any problems with the cabinets except for the fact that i have way to much room now. No problems in the repair department ither, very sturdy built cabinets, heavy duty hinges and handles. As well as the finishing gloss coat, they just glimmer when the morning light hits them. I would recommend these cabinets to anyone, regardless of the style or make. All exceptional cabinets.
