For me, I was searching for the near impossible. A strapped BUDGET, not willing to sacrifice quality, nor looks, and it had to meet budget!!! Well, "I GOT IT ALL". Everything we needed. Everything perfectly boxed and ready to assemble. Even the delivery was a no hassle, exciting. The entire Family was shocked at the price and couldn't get over how well they looked along with the features and craftsmanship! I would do this again, for sure! Thank You Cabinet Giant !!!

A great company that made a bad experience a good one-Cabinets good too!
I'd like to say that what makes a great company better than a good or a bad company is how they react to your experience.
I ordered the sienna rope series cabinets via a Friends previous order. The original cabinets came in horrendous condition. It looks like the hulk decided to pack the truck then drop it, then step on it a few times, then throw it in the air and then into the truck. 90% of it was detroyed or badly damaged. After an extensive review of all the boxes, and a call with their support(Nathan) they sent replacements to us in a timely manner. This made the company shine quite a bit as they could of argued with us or charged us for something else.
Now to the cabinets themselves. It would be a lie to say it went smoothly. about 75% of the cabinets had no issues what so ever but the other 25% took a bit of work to get assembled. Some of the highlights and issues are below
The good:
Cabinets are wonderful looking. They are quite solid(Doors and frame) and sides are fairly good as well.
Price! Who could argue with this. Getting preassembled cabinets cost 2-4 times as much.
There is not much to say about good looking cabinets which are very solid and not fiberboard or compressed wood *shudders*. If it weren't for some minor issues it would be a short review!
Keep in mind, its human nature to complain more thoroughly than to compliment something thoroughly at times, as you have to resolve the issues yourself or work around them in odd ways.
The Bad
1) Some L Brackets poorly placed. This was infuriating at times. If the L Brackets were off by a bit, they would either make it very difficult for the sides to get into the grooves or worse cause the brackets to pop off. If they were off by a little, you could just use a rubber mallet to "gently" persuade it into the groove and to click in. For the ones that were angled quite badly and you didnt notice, you would get a pop-out of the bracket the the L goes into. Some of the L brackets were off by a half cm, which would require some additional work. In this case, I would just drill two holes in the L bracket and make it flush to the grove(required to rescrew it in the new holes. This was the biggest issue. And needs a bit of work in the QA department. But again that was my experience.
2. The second issue was bowing of certain sections.This required some weights or clamps to get straightened out. This is minor and to be slight expectation with any wood product(Mostly the backs)
3. Instructions severely lacking for the corner cabinets. The corners were the worst to assemble based on the instructions given. Go online and youtube some videos. The base cabinets have detailed instructions on the their website but don't have the corner at the time of this review.
4. Rare- Some blemishes on the cabinets- Very minor and not noticeable. Your going to find this on any cabinet even custom ones so don't worry. Figured I'd mention it anyway.
After assembling all the cabinets and installing them, they make you forget about any troubles. Plus the support staff helps quite a bit, and I can be quite annoying at times. Any issues that i've had or questions they answer promptly or address the issues by sending parts.
Even with all these issues I would rate this at 4.5.
The biggest change I would like to see is better Quality Control on the bracket placement but this is simple to resolve with some tools that you should have while assembling cabinets(drill bits for wood and metal) and wood glue.

Kitchen Island
I LOVE my new kitchen Island. The quality of the cabinets are #1. My biggest downfall was the all of the duty that I had to pay as everything came in separate boxes.

Corina, we know how you feel. NAFTA really changed trading goods between Canada and America. The good news is that there's still plenty of savings you'll enjoy when purchasing from us... We ship that way all of the the time!
Thanks for the compliments!

Incredible Value for the Price!
We just bought a full kitchen replacement of cabinets from cabinet giant. While the instructions were lacking, the quality of the cabinets was so much better than even the best custom cabinets at home depot or lowes, I was floored! Really, compare the Brindleton Maple cabinets with soft close drawers and high quality plywood boxes with even the $300/linear sq ft cabinets from Lowe's. Brindleton Maple is about $85/linear sq ft and they beat the best that Lowe's or Home Depot has to offer!!!
We ordered based on the cabinets available on the site, assuming they would arrive quickly. We were emailed shortly after ordering from the company letting us know that a couple of base cabinets were actually out of stock and that they could be upgraded to base cabinets with drawers at no cost to get them sooner.
The cabinets showed up in a week and weren't too difficult to put together after a check of the instructions from the main website. Nothing was damaged in shipping. The quality was beyond our best expectations and we could not be happier!

I really like how easy the cabinets go together and they seem to be quality
I did received 2 damaged cabinets. I'm sure the damage occurred during shipping. I am waiting on the replacements now.
