RTA Cabinets: Their Beginning and How They Came to be Popular
A Little History
Handcrafted or custom-made cabinetry is a common sight when visiting old homes or reminiscing on mom and pop’s, aunt and uncle’s and especially gram’s household. Technological advancements and their application however, have caused the decline of truly skilled craftsmen. With this came the continual increase in labor as well as material costs. These changes in the economics as well as the eventual dominance of cutting edge machines pressured home improvement and remodeling product manufacturers to keep up with the rising demands of the market and consumers. Then, RTA cabinets were introduced.
Kitchen Cabinets Revolution
Originally, RTA cabinets were branded as cheap alternatives. What made them a hit to many homeowners is the great cutback on the project that they offer. Aside from initially costing just a fraction of other cabinet types, ready-to-assemble options eliminate one factor that greatly blows up remodeling budget and expense and this is labor. But the problem was that these cabinet units were mass-manufactured from low-cost materials.
As consumers become all the wiser, market trends again changes to accommodate their desires. RTA cabinets were then repackaged to be more than just your low-quality choice. Today, you can take advantage of the entire spectrum of materials and price range from low-end particle boards to the most luxurious looking hardwoods. What better way to integrate one of the most loved remodeling materials, than with affordable yet luscious-looking and durable RTA cabinets?
