I have found that RTA kitchen cabinets have saved me arond $3500 on my new kitchen. RTA is not a brand name, it stands for "ready to assemble". These cabinets were of better quality than the regular cabinets I previously found and they are a better price. RTA kitchen cabinets are made of solid wood fronts and paneled sides - no particle board. The best place to buy the cabients (in terms of price) is to purchase the cabients online at an RTA online store.

1. BETTER PRICES - I SAVED ABOUT $3500
2. DELIVERY TO YOUR HOUSE IF YOU ORDER ONLINE
3. QUALITY CABINETS

Here is part of an article I found on RTA kitchen cabinets --  It sums up looking for the cabinets online.  This is also where I found the best prices.

".........As always, I go online and search for the best possible deals on any supplies I need.  First, I was looking for paint and really did not come across any great deals.  I decided to go the local hardware store and settled for a paint selection from there.  (It’s good to buy from local stores – it stimulates your local economy and it is better than buying from a big box retail store, like Home Depot.  These big box stores care very little for the small customer and are already making millions of dollars, so remember to go small and local when buying your supplies).  Next I picked up some tile from a local newspaper add, it worked out perfect and the tiles were about half the price of a retail tile store.  (I tried to buy these tiles online, but the shipping was too much money).  The final thing I needed was a bathroom vanity, linen closet, and mirror.  This is when my online shopping paid off.  I found RTA bathroom vanities online.  RTA was/is not a brand name but a style of cabinets that are “ready to assemble”, hence the “RTA”.  These bathroom products were actually better than what I saw in a retail store (solid wood fronts and paneled wood sides – NO particle board) and they cost about 30% (thirty percent) less!  I was shocked, because I was getting a better quality cabinet at less of a cost.  The RTA bathroom vanities, RTA linen closet, and other products were fabulous.  I never dreamed I could save money and still get a great looking bathroom.  I saved so much money I decided to add an RTA tank topper.  That is the little closet that goes above the toilet. (Store your tissue and toilet paper in there).  "

It pretty much sums up -- that RTA cabients are a great idea!

The absolute best way to save money on kitchen cabinets is to buy RTA kitchen cabinets.  RTA is not a brand name; instead it is the name of a style of cabinets.  It stands for “ready to assemble” and basically you are buying unassembled cabinets and assembling them yourself or with the help of a handy person. (No contractors needed).  Why are you buying RTA kitchen cabinets? Because these cabinets are about half the price of regular kitchen cabinets!  Go online and perform a Google search for RTA kitchen cabinets.   You will see a good list of what is out there and you will quickly find that the online prices are about thirty percent (30%) less than buying these RTA cabinets in a retail store.  So also remember that buying online is not only cheaper, but it saves you time and gas money.

My biggest issue about my new bathroom was that I wanted it to be environmentally friendly.  The average American uses 80 to 100 gallons of water per day.  This fact is a sobering statistic that is provided by the United States Geological survey.  It does not sound like an outrageous number until you realize that many parts of the country routinely face seasonal droughts.  So 100 gallons of water then becomes a staggering number when some parts of the country have a certain time limit on the amount of water used during periods of the day.

I have always tried to find the best prices on home remodeling supplies.  For years I have traveled to local hardware places and big stores as well.  I have nothing against the big chain stores like Home Depot or Lowe’s – as long as I am only buying certain supplies at these stores.  Same goes for the local, neighborhood stores.  Some of these places have good prices and even better customer service and some of them are just plain to expensive. 

Take for example my local hardware store.  I love the place and wish them well, but the price of a two by four is double of what it will cost you at Home Depot.  Now, Home Depot on the other hand is a heartless corporate giant who will take my money and not care at all, but at the same time, their two by four or drywall is priced at a very good rate.  So sometimes it is the lesser of two evils and other times it is helping at the local stores and not worrying about prices.

One thing that has struck me as a way to save money and not worry about these previously mentioned issues is by purchasing kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities online.  Yes my first question was how?  But then I found out about RTA kitchen cabinets and RTA bathroom vanities.  RTA stands for ready to assemble and it is a term that is frequently used in the home improvement industry.  These cabinets are not flimsy and will not easily fall apart, instead the cabinets are made of solid wood fronts and paneled woods sides.  Take note though, some retail stores sell RTA kitchen cabinets with particle board sides.  Stay away from these cabinets, particle board gets wet and expands and then falls apart.  Where ever you end up buying RTA cabinets, just make sure that the product is made of paneled wood sides and NOT particle board. 

So as a landlord I started using RTA kitchen cabinets that I purchased through the internet.  I did a Google search for RTA kitchen cabinets, avoided the paid searches at the top of the Google page and then looked through a few of the real searches that come up on the first page.  I found some great prices and even better quality.  From this I started purchasing all my kitchen cabinets online.  It is easy to do, convenient, and the biggest thing that made me switch from retail -- was the price.  I am saving about 35% over store bought retail cabinets!  It is an unbelievable savings and the cabinets are top quality too.

To this day I am still buying RTA kitchen cabinets and RTA bathroom vanities online.  I use these products for all of my rental properties and it is saving me a good amount of money.  If you’re in the rental business and you want to save money on a renovation, RTA products are the way to go.  It does mean that you will be doing a little extra work – by putting the cabinets together, but the assembly is very easy and with the money I saved, it was really no problem at all.
