KabCo Kitchens

We selected our cabinets and color based on what they showed us in their showroom. We went on to select all coordinating items for our kitchen based on the color we chose. That color was a cherry wood, deep color, nice shine, beautiful. What we got was a dull, brown set of VERY EXPENSIVE AND EXTREMELY OVERPRICED cabinets. We notified them about the color and sheen issue immediately, as soon as the first carton was opened. They keep telling us one day they will darken to the color we saw, and we did get the sheen we saw in the showroom. There is no way that these cabinets will EVER obtain that color we selected. These are a pecan, dull finished cabinet and neither Kabco nor Showplace would do anything to replace them even BEFORE they were installed. These two guys at Kabco also don't know the first thing about design. They told us to buy a 30 inch hood for the range because then it will look like it's floating. Well had they had ANY design sense whatsoever, they would have known that with the height of the cabinets a 30 inch hood looks puny and small. The space requires a 36 inch hood to balance off the height differential. Also, we gave them dimensions for ALL appliances, TV, etc. They made the ice maker cabinet too small, the TV cabinet too small, the microwave cabinet too big, and charged us for custom cabinets when everything but one base cabinet were standard sizes. This left large gaps between cabinets with a lot of wasted space. In addition, we had a banquette we were reusing and they were told specifically to cut only one end where we were shortening the bench. They cut BOTH ENDS! Then they left it totally uneven and we had to wait another 2 weeks for someone to come and fix it. Then wait another two weeks for someone to come and finish it. Then wait another two weeks for someone to come and fix some missing parts in other areas of the kitchen. Then wait another two weeks because they didn't send the parts with the repair person. They make no attempt to expedite anything! So, if you want inferior cabinets in a color you never selected, and overpay CONSIDERABLY for something that looks like cheap box cabinets, then use Showplace cabinets and Kabco.. But if you prefer an honest company that provides experienced designers and stands behind their product, Kabco and Showplace are NOT the companies to use.
