Why Pay More?
RTA (Ready-to-Assemble) cabinets save money primarily by eliminating factory assembly and reducing shipping volume. Because they are shipped flat in compact boxes, manufacturers incur lower freight and warehousing costs, savings that are passed on to the buyer. Additionally, by assembling the cabinets yourself, you bypass professional labor costs.
Key Ways RTA Cabinets Lower Costs
- Zero Factory Assembly Fees: Pre-assembled and custom cabinets require significant manpower in the factory to glue, nail, and box the finished product. With RTA cabinets, you supply the labor.
- Lower Shipping and Freight Charges: Fully assembled cabinets take up a massive amount of “air” in shipping containers. Flat-packed RTA cabinets drastically reduce freight volume, resulting in dramatically cheaper shipping costs.
- Reduced Warehouse and Storage Fees: Wholesalers and retailers can store flat boxes in a fraction of the space required for built cabinets, minimizing overhead storage costs.
