Now available in the Marsh line of semi-custom cabinets are the Jefferson I and II in Maple and Cherry. All four door styles have a full over-lay door with either a solid Cherry or solid Maple door frame and flat panel center with either Cherry or Maple veneer.

Four door styles have also been added to the Mid Continent Cabinetry line of semi-custom cabinets.

US Home Products was formed in 2005 with the goal of becoming the best source on the Internet for high-quality semi-custom and ready-to-assemble kitchen cabinets at the best prices available. The site includes a free online kitchen planner, as well as design and measurement tips. In addition to the best prices and highest quality cabinets, US Home Products aims to provide the highest quality customer service and support every day.

I recently read a comment in a blog posting that stated “all online sites ONLY offer stock cabinet options.” I’d like to give the writer the benefit of the doubt and say that he just hadn’t done his research. I wouldn’t want to think that anyone would intentionally want to mislead people. That being said, US Home Products offers both semi-custom kitchen cabinets and ready-to-assemble kitchen cabinets on the site. Semi-custom cabinets from Marsh/High Point and Mid Continent Cabinetry are custom made for made for you and shipped assembled. They are not ready-to-assemble cabinets or stock cabinets that are assembled and then shipped. Our semi-custom cabinets can be ordered in three-inch increments, which provides a great deal of kitchen design flexibility. Marsh/High Point cabinets take 2 weeks in manufacturing and Mid Continent Cabinetry takes 3 weeks in manufacturing. Our Ready-to-assemble cabinets by Norbridge can be shipped within 2 days of ordering and are shipped flat packed to be assembled by the receiver.

Whether you decide to go with semi-custom assembled cabinets or ready-to-assemble cabinets, you will find the absolute best quality and and best prices online at US Home Products.

It’s easy to forget that kitchen cabinets are really a kind of “built-in” furniture. There was a time when kitchens didn’t include cabinets and they were purchased separately as furniture. With that in mind, you can see why they would need to be replaced after 15 or 20 years. Sure, a sofa can be re-upholstered, but what about the inner materials that have broken down over the years? Unlike traditional furniture, solid wood is  almost never used for the carcass of the cabinet. Particle board or plywood is generally used for the carcass and solid wood is used for the doors. Over time, these materials break down. While refacing the exterior of the cabinets may give your kitchen an inexpensive face-lift, new cabinets will stand the test of time.

When selecting cabinets, you have a choice between framed and frameless (full-access). Traditional cabinets are constructed using face frames which typically consist of narrow strips of hardwood framing the cabinet box opening. When you open the cabinet, there is a piece of wood down the middle. With full-access or frameless cabinets, cabinets utilize the carcass side, top, and bottom panels to serve same functions as do face-frames in traditional cabinets. Therefore, there are not any stiles or wood pieces in the middle when you open the cabinets. Both types of cabinets can be found online at US Home Products.

Creating a kitchen island out of standard cabinets is a lot easier than you may think. The most complicated part is the cabinet configuration. Once you know the dimensions of the island and the type of space you need (drawers, open storage for pots and pans, sink base, open space for oven), you can determine the layout of the cabinets.

After you have the lay out of the cabinets, you need to determine if the back of the island will be cabinet faces or covered by a panel. If it is covered by a panel, you can find the panels you need once you have selected your door style by going to the  Panels section of US Home Products . You can use  outside corner molding to cover the unfinished edges, which can be found in the Accessories section of US Home Products once the door style has been selected.

Configure your own island with cabinets from US Home Products.

If you’re putting cabinets back to back, you will have a seam between the two cabinets. There are two methods to conceal the seam. If you’re using framed cabinets, you can put a 34 x 48 inch panel over the entire end of the cabinets. If you’re using frameless or framed cabinets, you might opt for using a piece of batten molding to cover the seam.

For the island pictured here, I used pantry base cabinets with roll-out trays. On the backside I used 30-inch tall wall cabinets so that the island is 36 inches deep with a slight overhang of the granite on the back. The book shelf on the end is a 30-inch wide cabinet flanked by two three-inch filler boxes.

There are additional ways to dress up your island. To add a bookshelf at the end, you can use fluted filler boxes on the left and right side of a base cabinet with no doors. You can also add feet and other decorative details that can be found in the Accessories section of US Home Products. This section can be found once you select your cabinet style.configuration. US Home Products has everything you need to create a kitchen island designed specifically for your needs.
