NY Kitchen Cabinets that are Ready to Assemble

If you live in New York and are looking for kitchen cabinets, one option you have is the “ready to assemble” type, also known as RTA. NY kitchen cabinets are sold in a variety of types, but with added convenience and a cheaper price, RTA NY kitchen cabinets may be the best choice for you.

You can buy RTA anywhere in NY. Kitchen cabinets are usually sold in the ready to assemble variety in home improvement stores, at warehouse stores and even online, which can actually save you the most money. When you buy RTA cabinets online, you are able to cut down on cabinet cost and still get the same cabinets you can get at any store.  If you are worried about buying cabinets online, many online stores will have a sample available for you so you can see how the cabinet type will fit into your home. If you have a sample you will be able to decide if you like the color, for instance, before making the actual purchase.

RTA cabinets are simple to purchase as long as you measure the area correctly. Since they are all standard sizes, you won’t have to worry about odd sizes. On the flip side, however, if you have odd spaces in your NY kitchen, cabinets that are RTA may not be the best choice for you. If you have doubts about space in your kitchen, you may want to have a professional come in and measure and give you an opinion on if they will work for you.

Bamboo Kitchen Cabinets- Increased Demand for Eco-Friendly Products in the New York Market

New York City has always been one of the leaders in fashion and design trend, and when it comes to the kitchen, that doesn’t change.   With the increased demand for eco-friendly products, bamboo kitchen cabinets have really grown in popularity.   Until recently, the only bamboo cabinets that were available were custom made, fairly expensive, and had to be shipped from California.   Recently, new cabinets in the form of ready-to-assemble cabinets, have hit the market featuring bamboo construction.  So now, not only are they affordable, but they are easy for the average homeowner to work with, and they offer the eco-friendly aspect that people are looking for.  More and more online companies are starting to offer bamboo kitchen cabinets that are fully stocked, so the turn around time can be as little as a week to two weeks (sometimes longer if you are looking for a custom finish).

So why is bamboo as a construction material becoming so popular?  (Especially in the larger markets like New York)  It comes down to two terms-  sustainability and carbon footprint.  Bamboo, which is actually a form of grass, is a sustainable resource because it can fully regenerate in less than 5 years, where a maple or oak tree could take as long as 40 years.   This helps reduce the impact on the environment, which in turn reduces the carbon footprint.   By reducing the carbon footprint of your home, but doing things like buying sustainable products, recycling, using energy efficient products, etc… we can significantly reduce the damage we are causing to the environment.

Bamboo kitchen cabinets are now making kitchen cabinets eco-friendly!   So if you are in the market for new kitchen cabinets, consider the latest design trend and look into bamboo cabinets.   Not only are they great looking cabinets, but you are will also be helping the environment.

Storage Solutions for your NY Kitchen Cabinets

How much time do you waste looking for ingredients or spices every time you prepare a meal? If you’re like many homeowners, it may take as long to find what you need as it does to assemble the dish and sometimes it may even take much longer. A kitchen remodel can be a great opportunity to put those days behind you – modern cabinetry offers many options that can help you get organized – at least in the kitchen.

Storage Options for your NY Kitchen Cabinets

Just about all cabinet manufacturers now have specialty kitchen cabinets and options that can assist with the organization of the pots and pans, spices, and ingredients needed for you to perform your culinary magic. If cost is a concern when purchasing your NY kitchen cabinets, budget friendly ready to assemble cabinets offer many of the same storage features as pre-assembled cabinets from big name manufacturers, but at a fraction of the price. A few options you may want to consider:

  • Pantry Cabinets – if you’ve ever wished you had a walk-in pantry, these cabinets might be the next best thing. Imagine a large cabinet that just about extends from floor to ceiling and has multiple shelves for cooking utensils, canned goods, and anything else you care to place on them. Some pantry cabinets even have pull-out drawers and spice racks – think of the time that can be saved when everything you need is in one place.
  • Pull-out Spice Racks – how often do you have to stand on tiptoes while looking in your wall cabinets for the spices you need? You won’t be performing that stretch any more if you include a pull-out spice rack in your kitchen remodel. The rack fits between base cabinets, glides out for easy access, and isn’t much wider than most filler strips.
  • Trash Cabinets – few items can detract from a beautiful kitchen like an overflowing trash can in the corner, but it’s difficult to do without one in the room where you cook. A trash cabinet allows you to keep the containers where they belong – out of sight. One and two container cabinets are available so you can even recycle if you desire and you don’t even have to reach inside the cabinet – the containers glide out to you.

These are just a few of the storage options available when you purchase your NY kitchen cabinets — selections can vary depending on manufacturer and the model line you choose, but they can all help you organize the busiest room in your home.
