1
00:00:01,159 --> 00:00:03,950
Cheyanne Lake is joining me here talking cabinets.
2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:04,300
Of course,
3
00:00:04,309 --> 00:00:04,679
Cheyanne,
4
00:00:04,690 --> 00:00:05,449
how you doing?
5
00:00:05,679 --> 00:00:06,469
I'm doing good.
6
00:00:07,079 --> 00:00:07,590
All right.
7
00:00:07,599 --> 00:00:08,289
So cabinets,
8
00:00:08,300 --> 00:00:12,130
I know there's a number of different ways to bring them into one's home.
9
00:00:12,140 --> 00:00:13,140
Let's talk about the kitchen.
10
00:00:13,439 --> 00:00:21,610
You could have some that are ready to assemble the semi custom and the custom custom sounds pretty nice to me because generally when we say custom,
11
00:00:21,719 --> 00:00:23,309
it does mean a little more expensive,
12
00:00:23,319 --> 00:00:25,409
but it means you pretty much get what you want.
13
00:00:25,530 --> 00:00:28,510
What are the differences amongst these three types?
14
00:00:28,879 --> 00:00:29,010
Yeah,
15
00:00:29,020 --> 00:00:29,780
great question.
16
00:00:29,790 --> 00:00:37,560
And there is some confusion around it and I always say kind of what we talk about our waterfront here that looks pretty swampy,
17
00:00:37,569 --> 00:00:38,310
you know,
18
00:00:38,319 --> 00:00:38,419
um,
19
00:00:38,430 --> 00:00:39,080
the,
20
00:00:39,450 --> 00:00:39,909
the,
21
00:00:39,919 --> 00:00:40,310
the,
22
00:00:40,319 --> 00:00:51,790
the words uh custom have they used to mean something and I think you have to be very careful what people are calling custom uh these days,
23
00:00:51,799 --> 00:00:52,029
right?
24
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:59,139
Because custom does typically come with what we perceive as being better quality.
25
00:00:59,580 --> 00:01:04,290
Um Most people will think that it's gonna cost more money and typically a,
26
00:01:04,300 --> 00:01:07,510
a custom cabinet is going to cost you more money.
27
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:25,610
But what has happened over the last 10 to 15 years with the ready to assembles coming into the market and really even being perfected because it's in a controlled environment with,
28
00:01:25,620 --> 00:01:25,949
you know,
29
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:34,595
grand technology um that they are able to now produce a higher quality,
30
00:01:34,605 --> 00:01:37,805
ready to assemble and all ready to assemble.
31
00:01:37,815 --> 00:01:44,525
Means is that the pieces that comprise a cabinet just like in a custom cabinet,
32
00:01:44,535 --> 00:01:45,275
right?
33
00:01:45,764 --> 00:01:50,915
They are all made just in a manufacturing facility versus in a guy's wood shop.
34
00:01:50,934 --> 00:01:51,605
Now,
35
00:01:52,339 --> 00:01:53,790
you've got the semi custom,
36
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,900
which typically can be still a,
37
00:01:56,910 --> 00:01:57,169
you know,
38
00:01:57,180 --> 00:02:02,779
made by a guy in a shop or it can be a ready to assemble and,
39
00:02:02,839 --> 00:02:03,660
and all of it,
40
00:02:03,669 --> 00:02:08,149
all it means is semi custom means there are some customizations,
41
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:08,800
right?
42
00:02:08,910 --> 00:02:11,408
But in the ready to assemble,
43
00:02:11,449 --> 00:02:14,279
if you've got the right cabinet person,
44
00:02:14,358 --> 00:02:14,679
you know,
45
00:02:14,688 --> 00:02:21,369
they can take that ready to assemble cabinet and they can cut it down.
46
00:02:21,378 --> 00:02:21,708
There's,
47
00:02:21,718 --> 00:02:21,929
you know,
48
00:02:21,938 --> 00:02:33,639
there's modifications that can be done that can still save the consumer a lot of money and um and can and um and still give them a great quality cabinet.
49
00:02:33,789 --> 00:02:39,389
What I found the biggest difference is between them is the inches,
50
00:02:39,509 --> 00:02:40,490
the inches,
51
00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:40,960
right?
52
00:02:40,970 --> 00:02:43,320
So in a true custom,
53
00:02:43,380 --> 00:02:46,720
you can get down right to the quarter inch,
54
00:02:46,729 --> 00:02:47,149
right?
55
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:52,399
Because you're literally designing it completely for the space,
56
00:02:52,770 --> 00:02:54,100
a semi custom,
57
00:02:54,289 --> 00:02:58,979
uh you're gonna have a little bit of that flexibility as far as depths and,
58
00:02:58,990 --> 00:03:04,440
and widths on things in the RT A which is why it's more affordable in,
59
00:03:04,449 --> 00:03:08,059
in most instances is because it comes in threes,
60
00:03:08,070 --> 00:03:08,639
right?
61
00:03:08,729 --> 00:03:11,619
So I always say three inch widths and you've got,
62
00:03:11,630 --> 00:03:12,080
you know,
63
00:03:12,089 --> 00:03:12,320
um,
64
00:03:12,330 --> 00:03:12,649
you know,
65
00:03:12,660 --> 00:03:14,020
kind of the standard uh,
66
00:03:14,029 --> 00:03:15,100
depths.
67
00:03:15,110 --> 00:03:15,539
So,
68
00:03:15,550 --> 00:03:15,770
you know,
69
00:03:15,779 --> 00:03:17,520
12 inch on a upper cabinet,
70
00:03:17,529 --> 00:03:19,500
24 inches on a bottom.
71
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:27,190
And so what I tell people is if you want a still a very,
72
00:03:27,199 --> 00:03:29,500
very good quality cabinet,
73
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:36,289
the RT A S have come so far and something because we do so many painted cabinets,
74
00:03:36,300 --> 00:03:37,929
at least in my part of the country.
75
00:03:37,940 --> 00:03:38,250
You know,
76
00:03:38,259 --> 00:03:38,619
we still,
77
00:03:38,630 --> 00:03:40,710
we do a lot of painted cabinetry.
78
00:03:40,990 --> 00:03:44,279
They're painted in a controlled environment and they're,
79
00:03:44,289 --> 00:03:47,440
they're painted with a UV Protectant versus,
80
00:03:47,449 --> 00:03:47,720
you know,
81
00:03:47,729 --> 00:03:48,410
again,
82
00:03:48,419 --> 00:03:51,080
AAA wonderful craftsman who is,
83
00:03:51,089 --> 00:03:51,320
you know,
84
00:03:51,330 --> 00:03:54,389
still building his cabinets by hand in his shop.
85
00:03:54,399 --> 00:03:55,139
But,
86
00:03:55,500 --> 00:03:55,910
you know,
87
00:03:55,919 --> 00:03:58,250
uh is there that you be protected on it,
88
00:03:58,259 --> 00:03:58,589
right?
89
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,589
What is the controlled environment?
90
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:01,029
And I,
91
00:04:01,039 --> 00:04:08,809
I think we've seen poor quality RT A s and we've seen poor quality semi custom and poor quality custom,
92
00:04:09,029 --> 00:04:11,289
just like you've seen quality in all of them.
93
00:04:11,539 --> 00:04:18,885
But the biggest difference is really that you can truly customize um more with the,
94
00:04:18,894 --> 00:04:21,464
with the custom to the exact space.
95
00:04:21,475 --> 00:04:23,024
So if you don't have crazy,
96
00:04:23,035 --> 00:04:23,364
you know,
97
00:04:23,375 --> 00:04:26,385
wits and depths and if you're not doing anything,
98
00:04:26,394 --> 00:04:26,575
you know,
99
00:04:26,584 --> 00:04:27,864
truly you can,
100
00:04:27,934 --> 00:04:29,334
you can get what you want,
101
00:04:29,345 --> 00:04:47,799
you can get a great quality cabinet in that semi in the custom or excuse me in the uh ready to assemble or the semi custom ready to assemble might be the best overall value if the space will allow that to fit because those are already predetermined.
102
00:04:48,230 --> 00:04:54,350
But if you want to spend more money and you really want everything to be super fit and tight into your space,
103
00:04:54,609 --> 00:04:56,459
then you may want to go with custom.
104
00:04:56,470 --> 00:04:57,510
This is all great.
105
00:04:57,910 --> 00:04:59,769
If you want to get a hold of Cheyenne,
106
00:04:59,779 --> 00:05:00,720
it's very simple.
107
00:05:00,730 --> 00:05:06,359
All of her contact information is located in the description of this podcast.
108
00:05:06,369 --> 00:05:07,119
As always Cheyanne.
109
00:05:07,130 --> 00:05:08,549
Thank you so much for joining me today.
110
00:05:08,940 --> 00:05:10,200
Always good to be with you.
00:00:01,159 --> 00:00:03,950
Cheyanne Lake is joining me here talking cabinets.
2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:04,300
Of course,
3
00:00:04,309 --> 00:00:04,679
Cheyanne,
4
00:00:04,690 --> 00:00:05,449
how you doing?
5
00:00:05,679 --> 00:00:06,469
I'm doing good.
6
00:00:07,079 --> 00:00:07,590
All right.
7
00:00:07,599 --> 00:00:08,289
So cabinets,
8
00:00:08,300 --> 00:00:12,130
I know there's a number of different ways to bring them into one's home.
9
00:00:12,140 --> 00:00:13,140
Let's talk about the kitchen.
10
00:00:13,439 --> 00:00:21,610
You could have some that are ready to assemble the semi custom and the custom custom sounds pretty nice to me because generally when we say custom,
11
00:00:21,719 --> 00:00:23,309
it does mean a little more expensive,
12
00:00:23,319 --> 00:00:25,409
but it means you pretty much get what you want.
13
00:00:25,530 --> 00:00:28,510
What are the differences amongst these three types?
14
00:00:28,879 --> 00:00:29,010
Yeah,
15
00:00:29,020 --> 00:00:29,780
great question.
16
00:00:29,790 --> 00:00:37,560
And there is some confusion around it and I always say kind of what we talk about our waterfront here that looks pretty swampy,
17
00:00:37,569 --> 00:00:38,310
you know,
18
00:00:38,319 --> 00:00:38,419
um,
19
00:00:38,430 --> 00:00:39,080
the,
20
00:00:39,450 --> 00:00:39,909
the,
21
00:00:39,919 --> 00:00:40,310
the,
22
00:00:40,319 --> 00:00:51,790
the words uh custom have they used to mean something and I think you have to be very careful what people are calling custom uh these days,
23
00:00:51,799 --> 00:00:52,029
right?
24
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:59,139
Because custom does typically come with what we perceive as being better quality.
25
00:00:59,580 --> 00:01:04,290
Um Most people will think that it's gonna cost more money and typically a,
26
00:01:04,300 --> 00:01:07,510
a custom cabinet is going to cost you more money.
27
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:25,610
But what has happened over the last 10 to 15 years with the ready to assembles coming into the market and really even being perfected because it's in a controlled environment with,
28
00:01:25,620 --> 00:01:25,949
you know,
29
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:34,595
grand technology um that they are able to now produce a higher quality,
30
00:01:34,605 --> 00:01:37,805
ready to assemble and all ready to assemble.
31
00:01:37,815 --> 00:01:44,525
Means is that the pieces that comprise a cabinet just like in a custom cabinet,
32
00:01:44,535 --> 00:01:45,275
right?
33
00:01:45,764 --> 00:01:50,915
They are all made just in a manufacturing facility versus in a guy's wood shop.
34
00:01:50,934 --> 00:01:51,605
Now,
35
00:01:52,339 --> 00:01:53,790
you've got the semi custom,
36
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,900
which typically can be still a,
37
00:01:56,910 --> 00:01:57,169
you know,
38
00:01:57,180 --> 00:02:02,779
made by a guy in a shop or it can be a ready to assemble and,
39
00:02:02,839 --> 00:02:03,660
and all of it,
40
00:02:03,669 --> 00:02:08,149
all it means is semi custom means there are some customizations,
41
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:08,800
right?
42
00:02:08,910 --> 00:02:11,408
But in the ready to assemble,
43
00:02:11,449 --> 00:02:14,279
if you've got the right cabinet person,
44
00:02:14,358 --> 00:02:14,679
you know,
45
00:02:14,688 --> 00:02:21,369
they can take that ready to assemble cabinet and they can cut it down.
46
00:02:21,378 --> 00:02:21,708
There's,
47
00:02:21,718 --> 00:02:21,929
you know,
48
00:02:21,938 --> 00:02:33,639
there's modifications that can be done that can still save the consumer a lot of money and um and can and um and still give them a great quality cabinet.
49
00:02:33,789 --> 00:02:39,389
What I found the biggest difference is between them is the inches,
50
00:02:39,509 --> 00:02:40,490
the inches,
51
00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:40,960
right?
52
00:02:40,970 --> 00:02:43,320
So in a true custom,
53
00:02:43,380 --> 00:02:46,720
you can get down right to the quarter inch,
54
00:02:46,729 --> 00:02:47,149
right?
55
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:52,399
Because you're literally designing it completely for the space,
56
00:02:52,770 --> 00:02:54,100
a semi custom,
57
00:02:54,289 --> 00:02:58,979
uh you're gonna have a little bit of that flexibility as far as depths and,
58
00:02:58,990 --> 00:03:04,440
and widths on things in the RT A which is why it's more affordable in,
59
00:03:04,449 --> 00:03:08,059
in most instances is because it comes in threes,
60
00:03:08,070 --> 00:03:08,639
right?
61
00:03:08,729 --> 00:03:11,619
So I always say three inch widths and you've got,
62
00:03:11,630 --> 00:03:12,080
you know,
63
00:03:12,089 --> 00:03:12,320
um,
64
00:03:12,330 --> 00:03:12,649
you know,
65
00:03:12,660 --> 00:03:14,020
kind of the standard uh,
66
00:03:14,029 --> 00:03:15,100
depths.
67
00:03:15,110 --> 00:03:15,539
So,
68
00:03:15,550 --> 00:03:15,770
you know,
69
00:03:15,779 --> 00:03:17,520
12 inch on a upper cabinet,
70
00:03:17,529 --> 00:03:19,500
24 inches on a bottom.
71
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:27,190
And so what I tell people is if you want a still a very,
72
00:03:27,199 --> 00:03:29,500
very good quality cabinet,
73
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:36,289
the RT A S have come so far and something because we do so many painted cabinets,
74
00:03:36,300 --> 00:03:37,929
at least in my part of the country.
75
00:03:37,940 --> 00:03:38,250
You know,
76
00:03:38,259 --> 00:03:38,619
we still,
77
00:03:38,630 --> 00:03:40,710
we do a lot of painted cabinetry.
78
00:03:40,990 --> 00:03:44,279
They're painted in a controlled environment and they're,
79
00:03:44,289 --> 00:03:47,440
they're painted with a UV Protectant versus,
80
00:03:47,449 --> 00:03:47,720
you know,
81
00:03:47,729 --> 00:03:48,410
again,
82
00:03:48,419 --> 00:03:51,080
AAA wonderful craftsman who is,
83
00:03:51,089 --> 00:03:51,320
you know,
84
00:03:51,330 --> 00:03:54,389
still building his cabinets by hand in his shop.
85
00:03:54,399 --> 00:03:55,139
But,
86
00:03:55,500 --> 00:03:55,910
you know,
87
00:03:55,919 --> 00:03:58,250
uh is there that you be protected on it,
88
00:03:58,259 --> 00:03:58,589
right?
89
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,589
What is the controlled environment?
90
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:01,029
And I,
91
00:04:01,039 --> 00:04:08,809
I think we've seen poor quality RT A s and we've seen poor quality semi custom and poor quality custom,
92
00:04:09,029 --> 00:04:11,289
just like you've seen quality in all of them.
93
00:04:11,539 --> 00:04:18,885
But the biggest difference is really that you can truly customize um more with the,
94
00:04:18,894 --> 00:04:21,464
with the custom to the exact space.
95
00:04:21,475 --> 00:04:23,024
So if you don't have crazy,
96
00:04:23,035 --> 00:04:23,364
you know,
97
00:04:23,375 --> 00:04:26,385
wits and depths and if you're not doing anything,
98
00:04:26,394 --> 00:04:26,575
you know,
99
00:04:26,584 --> 00:04:27,864
truly you can,
100
00:04:27,934 --> 00:04:29,334
you can get what you want,
101
00:04:29,345 --> 00:04:47,799
you can get a great quality cabinet in that semi in the custom or excuse me in the uh ready to assemble or the semi custom ready to assemble might be the best overall value if the space will allow that to fit because those are already predetermined.
102
00:04:48,230 --> 00:04:54,350
But if you want to spend more money and you really want everything to be super fit and tight into your space,
103
00:04:54,609 --> 00:04:56,459
then you may want to go with custom.
104
00:04:56,470 --> 00:04:57,510
This is all great.
105
00:04:57,910 --> 00:04:59,769
If you want to get a hold of Cheyenne,
