Are the cabinets strong enough to hold granite or concrete?
Yes, all of our cabinet lines are strong enough to hold granite or concrete countertops.
Are the insides of the cabinets stained to match the face frames and doors?
All of the cabinets are finished inside, but not all of them are the same as the face frame. It depends on the style of cabinet that you are looking at. This information is listed under the features section on the cabinet style page.
Are the sides of the cabinets finished?
Yes, the sides of the cabinets are finished to match the face frames and doors.
Do I need end panels?
All of the cabinet ends are finished, but if you want to bring the sides flush with the face frame, you will have to use end panels.
Do I need to hire someone to assemble the cabinets?
Some people do, but most people don't. It is really simple to assemble them and doesn't require any experience. Please visit our assembly page on our website. We also offer intelligent instructions for our quick ship cabinet lines through the BILT APP.
Do I need to use wood glue to assemble the cabinets?
Yes, our Quick Ship lines do require wood glue. For all other lines it would not hurt to add glue to the joints, however we leave this judgment call up to the customer.
Do I need toe kick?
Most of our cabinets and vanities come with a piece of toe kick (nailing block), which is not decorative. We recommend buying toe kicks to create a uniform look across the front to hide the seams where the cabinets connect.
Do you carry the glass doors?
We offer both mullion doors and open faced doors for our cabinets. Depending on the cabinet line will determine if it comes with glass or does not. For those that do not come with glass it allows you to pick your own style of glass. A member of our design team will be happy to review the cabinet lines that offer glass doors. You can reach out to our design team at 800.580.5535.
How do I install crown molding?
Each cabinet style will require a different installation method for the crown. Depending on whether it is full overlay or ¾ overlay, you may be able to attach the crown to the face frame, or you will have to attach it directly to the top of the cabinet. For additional help, YouTube is a great resource for instructional videos.
How high are the vanities?
Vanity heights vary depending on the cabinet line. They range from 30″ to 32⅝″ to 34½″ tall. To verify the height please check the product description.
How high are your base cabinets?
All of our base cabinets are 34.5″ high (standard height). This allows for a 1.5″ countertop to make 36″.
How much space do I need between my counter top and the wall cabinets?
Industry standard is a minimum of 19 inches.
How much space do I need to leave for the blind base cabinet?
For most of the cabinet lines the blind base needs to be installed 6″ away from the wall and will also have a maximum pull. Please review the specific cabinet specifications to be sure you are accounting for the correct amount of space. For further instruction please visit our assembly page.
What do I do if my plumbing interferes with the drawers on my vanity?
You could always move the plumbing, but that would most likely require a professional plumber. If you don't want to hire someone, you can either create a false drawer where the plumbing is interfering by not using the actual drawer box.
What grade plywood is used on the cabinets?

What is a cam lock?

To support the countertop, all you need to do is attach 2x4's to the back walls.We also sell the corner sink face floor to go along with the corner sink face cabinet.
What is the difference between the plastic cam locks and the metal cam locks?
The major difference is what will be seen. The plastic cam locks have a plastic casing, which protects the camlock. The metal cam locks are drilled into the plywood, and less visible, but are easier to break.
Why do you only sell filler pieces in 3″ and 6″ widths?
While we would like to offer as many different filler sizes as possible, the 3″ and 6″ can be cut down to fill any gap that may need to be filled. Anything over 6″ should be added to the cabinet next to it, or bump up the 9″ cabinet.

Why are some items only available in certain cabinet lines?
While we would like to stock a huge assortment of accessories and cabinet sizes in each line, one of the ways we can offer low prices is by being selective about what we stock. For each cabinet line, we carry the sizes and accessories which have proven to be the most popular so not every cabinet line will have the same sizes or features.
Why can't I order a single piece of some items?
Due to weight or size constraints, some things can not be shipped UPS/Fedex, or are just too fragile to ship by themselves so we do not allow customers to order just that particular item by itself. If you have a question about a specific item, please contact our design team.
Why can't some cabinets be shipped UPS/Fedex?
Due to the size, weight, and fragile nature of some of the cabinets, we discourage sending them UPS or Fedex. We have identified the items that they tend to damage more frequently than others, and try not to ship those items unless they are on a pallet.

I placed an order, but my credit card hasn't been charged yet. Why?
When an order is placed, we only authorize a transaction. Your order will remain as a pending charge until the order has been processed.
*Depending on the card issuer the pending charge will fall off within one to two business days. Upon shipment of the order the card will be charged.
I received a message saying the shipping calculator is down. What should I do?
Since we use a 3rd party software program, occasionally the shipping calculator may go down. If you are having problems with the shipping calculator, please contact our design team and they can provide you with a shipping quote.
Is there tax on my order?
RTA Cabinet Store is required to collect sales tax in over 20 states within the US. If your state requires that sales tax be collected, you will see a line item on the checkout screen before you place your order.
The shipping rate changed from a month ago. Why?
Our shipping rates are based on real time rates from a network of over a dozen carriers, so rates will fluctuate. We cannot guarantee a shipping rate until an order is placed.
There are multiple pending charges on my credit card. Why?
If you attempted to process your order multiple times, you may see multiple charges pending. This is true for both processing orders and adding/subtracting items from an existing order. Every time an attempt is made to process your credit card, even if it is declined, that money is reserved by your bank. This money is just pending and will be returned to your account in a couple of days.
What does the limited warranty cover?
The warranty covers any manufacturing defects or issues that occur once the cabinets are installed. We are not liable for issues that arise from improper installation or assembly. While it occasionally happens, we very rarely have any issues with the cabinets once they are installed.
What hours are you open?
Sales/design
8 AM to 8 PM EST Monday – Saturday
10 AM to 6 PM EST on Sunday
Customer Service

Why can't some cabinets be shipped UPS/Fedex?
Due to the size, weight, and fragile nature of some of the cabinets, we discourage sending them UPS or Fedex. We have identified the items that they tend to damage more frequently than others, and try not to ship those items unless they are on a pallet.
Why was my credit card declined?
To protect our customers from fraud, we have a high level of security on our merchant services account. A card can be declined for a mismatch in the name/address, daily limit, or a limit on the amount for internet transactions. In some cases, you will have to contact your credit card company to find out why.
A cabinet I need is out of stock. Can I still order it now and have it shipped when it comes in?
Yes, you can but out of stock dates are subject to change and can be pushed out due to manufacturing and shipping delays with our distribution partners.
A cabinet I need is out of stock. How long will it take for you to get it in?
The date displayed on our website is the most up-to-date information we have for out of stock items. Our system is updated daily with updated information. If you place an order that contains an out of stock item, you will receive email notifications with updates in regards to the items.
Can I handle my own shipping?
It is not advisable to handle your own shipping as it is expensive. We work with a third party logistics company to get the best competitive rates for our customers. This equals savings for you and less hassle.
How do I track a shipment?
Once an order is shipped, you will receive a tracking number via email. You can track the order on the carriers website, or through your order on our website.
Can I pick up my order from the main warehouse?
We are not offering order pickups at this time.
What is a Quick Ship Guarantee?
If you have ordered from our Quick Ship cabinet lines, the orders leave the warehouse within 3 business days for orders placed prior to 12pm ET. For orders placed after 12pm ET, the following day will be considered the order date. This does not include assembled cabinets, back ordered items marked at the time of ordering, lost or damaged items occurring from shipping, significant weather events, holidays, carrier embargos or other unforeseen issues out of RTA's control.
Can my order be expedited?
No, however we do offer cabinets that are available for Quick Ship. With our quick ship guarantee your order will ship in 3 business days, or we pay you for the delay.

Do you have your own trucks?
No, we do not. Instead, we utilize a network of third party carriers. Please note all third party carriers deliver to addresses within the continental United States.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Any visible damage must be noted on the delivery receipt while the driver is present. After that, you have 48 hours to open the boxes and inspect for concealed damage. Click here to file a claim.
I am missing an item, what should I do?
It is important to count everything while the driver is present. In some cases, accessories may be packaged together, so don't always go by the packing slip. If something is missing, note it on the delivery receipt and file a claim on the website by logging into your account and opening up your order. Click here to file a claim.
My shipment was damaged, what should I do?
If your shipment is damaged, it is very important to note it on the delivery receipt and take photos of the damaged freight. As soon as you discover the damage, file a claim on the website by logging into your account and noting it on the order. Click here to file a claim.
The box looked fine, but when I opened it up, there was damage. What should I do?
This is considered concealed damage, and can happen in transit without anyone knowing. This is why it is important to inspect each box within 48 hrs. If you discover concealed damage, please report it immediately. Click here to file a claim.
What does curbside delivery include?
Curbside delivery can sometimes be different from carrier to carrier, but it is intended to provide residential delivery to your curb. Not all trucking companies have a liftgate on their trucks, so sometimes it will include placement on the ground, other times you will be required to assist the driver in getting the cabinets down off the truck (which is why it is important to have someone there to assist you).
What does the limited warranty cover?
The warranty covers any manufacturing defects or issues that occur once the cabinets are installed. We are not liable for issues that arise from improper installation or assembly. While it occasionally happens, we very rarely have any issues with the cabinets once they are installed.
Why can't some cabinets be shipped UPS/Fedex?
Due to the size, weight, and fragile nature of some of the cabinets, we discourage sending them UPS or Fedex. We have identified the items that they tend to damage more frequently than others, and try not to ship those items unless they are on a pallet.
Why won't the driver put the cabinets in my house/garage?
We use common carriers for all of our deliveries, not moving companies, which would charge a lot more for the same service. Because of that, the driver is only required to provide curbside delivery.
Can I change my shipping address after my order has shipped?
Yes, for a fee the order can be redirected to a new address. There is a flat fee of $55 plus the cost of the additional distance.
