When it comes to updating your kitchen, bathroom, or any other room in your home, one of the most important decisions is choosing the right cabinets. While custom cabinetry offers a personalized touch, Ready-to-Assemble (RTA) cabinets have gained significant popularity due to their affordability and fast lead times of 7-14 days. At Custom Wood Creations, we offer a wide range of high-quality RTA cabinets to help you achieve the perfect look for your space—without the hefty price tag.
In this post, we’ll explore the key benefits of RTA cabinets, and why they might be the right choice for your next home improvement project.

What Are RTA Cabinets?
RTA cabinets are exactly what they sound like: cabinets that come in flat-pack form and require assembly before installation. While the parts are pre-cut and ready for assembly, you’ll need to put them together yourself (or with the help of a professional). These cabinets are delivered with all the hardware you need, including screws, hinges, and instructions to ensure an easy assembly process.
Why Choose RTA Cabinets? The Key Benefits
Cost-Effective
One of the most significant benefits of RTA cabinets is their affordability. Because they are flat-packed and do not require pre-assembly. This makes them an excellent choice for homeowners on a budget who still want high-quality cabinetry.
Assembly Process
While RTA cabinets require assembly, the process is relatively straightforward. Since all the parts are pre-cut, the instructions provided make the assembly process easier to follow. Although installation time can vary depending on your skill level and the size of the project, it is a more cost-effective solution compared to hiring professionals for fully assembled cabinets.
Wide Range of Styles and Finishes
Although RTA cabinets aren't customizable in terms of design, they come in a variety of standard styles, sizes, and finishes. Whether you're looking for a classic look or something more modern, you'll find a selection of RTA options that meet your design preferences.
Efficient Shipping and Fast Lead Times
RTA cabinets are shipped in flat packs, which reduces shipping costs. This also makes it easier for homeowners to transport the cabinets themselves, saving money on delivery charges. Additionally, you can expect fast lead times of 7-14 days, so you won’t have to wait long before your cabinets are ready for assembly and installation.
Perfect for DIY Projects
If you’re a DIY enthusiast, RTA cabinets are an ideal choice. The assembly process is simple, and with the detailed instructions provided, most homeowners can tackle the project themselves. If you’re comfortable with basic tools, you can save money on labor costs while still achieving professional-looking results.
