Quick Tips for Your Kitchen Project

01

Measure Twice, Order Once

Accurate measurements are crucial. Take your time measuring walls, ceiling height, and appliance locations. Our team can help verify measurements before you order.

02

Plan for the Work Triangle

The work triangle (sink, stove, refrigerator) should total 12-26 feet for optimal kitchen workflow. Consider this when planning your cabinet layout.

03

Don't Skimp on Storage

Include plenty of drawers, pull-outs, and organizers. Cabinets with interior accessories cost more upfront but provide long-term value through better organization.

04

Consider Your Lifestyle

Choose cabinet features based on how you actually use your kitchen. Heavy cooks need pot drawers; bakers need appliance garages; families need easy-to-clean finishes.

05

Think Long-Term

Choose timeless cabinet styles and neutral colors for better resale value. Trendy colors and styles can be added through paint, hardware, and accessories.

06

Use Our Free 3D Design

Take advantage of our complimentary 3D design service. Seeing your kitchen in 3D helps you make confident decisions and avoid costly mistakes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about designing, ordering, and receiving your cabinets.

Yes — completely free, with no obligation. Send your measurements and a few inspiration photos; a designer replies within 1 business day, and you get a full 3D rendering of the space plus an itemized quote in 24–48 hours.

Eleven premium lines: Fabuwood, St. Martin, NOMA, US Cabinet Depot, J&K, Modernform, Diamond, Decorá, Mantra, Tribeca and KCD — everything from boutique craftsmanship to industry leaders. St. Martin is built to order and priced by quote; NOMA is its 12-door stock program.

In-stock lines ship in 1–3 business days. Made-to-order lines are built in 2–6 weeks, plus transit. Your designer confirms the lead time for the exact line you pick before you place the order.

We offer both. Assembled cabinets arrive ready to install straight off the truck, which saves labor on site. Ready-to-assemble (RTA) is the same cabinet flat-packed — it costs less and ships in a smaller footprint. Not every line offers both, so ask your designer which applies to the one you choose.

Fabuwood, Diamond, Decorá and US Cabinet Depot carry a limited lifetime warranty. J&K and Mantra carry a 5-year limited warranty. Every other line we carry is covered by its manufacturer’s warranty, and the terms are on the brand page before you buy.

Yes. Captivating Pro members save 20–40% off retail, with a dedicated rep and priority fulfillment on every project.

Contractors, builders, remodelers, kitchen designers and property managers. There is one program and no tiers — apply at /captivating-pro with your license number, EIN or tax ID, and approval typically takes 1–2 business days.

We ship nationwide with curbside and liftgate options and a damage-free guarantee. Freight is itemized up front in your quote, and we keep you posted from processing through arrival.

Yes — pay over time with Shop Pay Installments, built right into checkout: split eligible orders ($50–$20,000) into 4 interest-free bi-weekly payments or 3–12 monthly payments. Checking your options takes seconds and won’t affect your credit score.

Of course. Most door samples are $25 each; St. Martin Vista and NOMA samples are $35. Seeing the finish in your own light beats any screen — and ask your designer about crediting sample costs when you order.
