Great expectations fulfilled!
My wife and I wanted to remodel our kitchen but we didn't want the chaos created by using a contractor. The installation would be done by myself so I could control that process. I decided on RTA cabinets but wanted high quality. As luck would have it, the internet led me to Barker Cabinets. We obtained color samples first, then a sample cabinet in our chosen premium maple, shaker inset panel style. Literally took me weeks to fine tune our order and I learned a lot from reading everything on Barker's website, viewing every helpful video as well as having MANY email conversations with Clayton Brooks, Customer Relations Director. Clayton was always quick with a reply to my many questions and offered suggestions as well. His help was invaluable and made me feel very confident when placing my order. The order was delivered very well packaged and in line with stated lead times. These came from Oregon to Florida in one week. I'm in the process of installing the cabinets, with 9 of 17 cabinets currently installed. It's been a very rewarding experience so far, just me at 70 years old and a cabinet lift as my helper! The cabinets are relatively easy to put together and look fantastic. My wife could not be more pleased. We ordered everything, including trim pieces, in premium maple, sealed and clearcoated and they look beautiful. Kudos to the paint shop for the extremely professional finishing job. Not one flaw anywhere in the finish. I figure I'll be done with the installation in 2 weeks, having spent 2 weeks on the install so far. I wouldn't hesitate one second in recommending Barker Cabinets and I will most definitely order from them again should the need arise.
