Kitchen cabinet selection
We're getting ready to meet with our contractors kitchen designer. He has recommended a brand of cabinets that I'm not familiar with and I'm finding lots of confusing info regarding the quality of different brands of kitchen cabinets.
We are replacing 10 y/o Kraft Maid mid grade cabinets. The brand recommended by my contractor is Wolf. Internet info is all over the place - either they are great or they are crap. Has anyone any experience with this brand of cabinets?

As with numerous other kinds of products from automobiles to booz, brands come in many levels of quality. A Chevy Sonic will disappoint someone looking for a Corvette. Likewise Wolf has 4-5 (depending on how you split them) levels of cabinetry. Builder's Mark is "budget friendly" - if you know what that means.

There are so many manufactures out there, I believe Kraft Maid is more on the economy side but not saying there is anything wrong with that.
You just have to spend some time looking at the construction and features.
I just bought 2 wall cabinets and trim for our den (Homecrest), $600, cant believe how much cabinets sell for!

As Norm said we had a house fire. As for Kraft Maid being "economy" cabinets that's not the case. It depends what line you buy. I paid $7K for the Kraft Maid cabinets that we had 10 years ago (in a relatively small kitchen) and I installed them myself.
I think I need to pin down my contractor because he's probably thinking "builder's grade" and we want a little more quality.

We visited a kitchen and bath showroom a couple of days ago looking at bathroom vanities. We saw one 60" double vanity w/quartz top for $5500. It was on sale!

You and your contractor need to visit his cabinet supplier together. Specify the quality you want and have him quote your price accordingly.
