I'm pinning this comment due to the owner of this company (Bill) reaching out to me. We had a wonderful conversation and he was thrilled about the honesty here, including the mistakes with their product packaging. I was highly impressed after our conversation and that was awesome of him to reach out.
@@TKCL Lily Ann from Lily Ann cabinets here! As a family business, we greatly appreciate your honesty with our products! We are blown away by your craftsmanship in this video. Thank you very much for using our cabinets, we appreciate it more than you know!
Well I truly appreciate you taking the time to find this video and respond the way you did! That says a lot about your company! I'm glad you found my "honest" review as just that. The cabinets are very well made (especially for the price) and customer service has been top notch. If the hardware had been correct this would have been a flawless experience. With that said, things happen and mistakes can be made. That's why I still feel I would purchase your products again in the future. Thanks for stopping by!
When we remodeled our kitchen 6 years ago we bought Lily Ann Cabinets. I love them. I did a ton a research before I bought them and I don’t regret our purchase. These are the actual cabinets we bought. The Madison Toffee
Lily Ann - A US / Michigan based company. - Your assembly site a big key to the ease of assembly; elevated assembly, soft work surface, lights, and tools close by. I would have used a small brush to even out the glue into the grooves, my suggestion not criticism.
I took a tour of a place where hardware packs were being assembled. The folks packaging the items were blind. Each worker had a pile of screws, bolts , or nuts. First person placed the item in the box into the hardware pack until an alarm would sound indicating there was enough of that item. Then they moved the package to the next person along the line. I have never again gotten upset if the hardware count was not correct. These nice folks are doing the best they know how to do.
i am in the process of doing my daughters kitchen with cabinets from lilyann. first off they are available. i had them in 2 weeks. they don't come from china they come from michigan and they are plywood and no particle board. not their fault but one face frame was damaged in shipping and they quickly replaced it. assembly is so simple a 10yr old could do it. they look fabulous. the selection of styles, sizes and options is fantastic and they had everything in stock. i highly recommend them
Hello Andrew, you did an excellent job assembling the cabinets. The company should have your video up on their website for potential cabinet buyers to watch. Your assembly video is phenomenal. Great job.
I am so impressed with your handy dandy self!! LOL I seriously find it impressive, all the work YOU have done on this home. It is all looking amazing and done right! Solid and long lasting. The two of you will live a fine comfortable life. So well deserved!
Just talked with Lilly Ann and ALL of their cabinet doors and drawer fronts are HDF - grrrr. They gave the the whole run around that MDF and HDF is better because wood can crack.. I'm not believing that as I have had all wood for 50 years and all our house furniture is all real wood and they never crack... GREAT video.
Oh wow, I was under the impression their premium line was all wood with plywood sides. That's disappointing to hear, I need to take a closer look at my doors.
Having watched this my kitchen cabinets that I’ll need to complete my kitchen will be measured, built, and installed by a cabinet marker. This is totally outside of my comfort zone. Kudos to you for all this work.
Looks great for flat packs! I’d definitely put some soft closers on those doors and drawers. They aren’t just a luxury item, they do make your investment last longer. Blum blumotion, I’ve found them at habitat for humanity stores for cheap, sub $1 a piece sometimes!
I have only used the Charlston and the York line of cabinets from Lilly ann but they are much easier than those to put together. The sides and back slide together with dovetail joints. No brackets except for 4 corner brackets underneath, the top corner braces are steel instead of plastic. The drawer guides are heavy duty and ride under the drawers and the drawers extend all the way out and have soft close. I don't know what the price difference is but I know they are still cheaper than the pre-built garbage in stocks at HD.
Home Outlet stores are a good option for cabinets. I believe all of there cabinets have ½" plywood boxes. The sink cabinets have a coated bottom panel to help withstand water leaks. They show 10'x10' cabinet layouts in the $3,000 range.
No where close to this company, same quality or even a little better. They show a 10x10 setup in our style for $1,664. They beat every stores prices I checked.
Those are beautiful cabinets. They will look so nice with the color you have chosen for the walls. I remember having new cabinets put in, my ex and his friend did them. We never realize until they went to hang the top cabinets that since the house was a prefab from the 50s that the studs ran completely opposite of how the cabinets we set up! Took some creative thinking but they got them up, and old cabinets went into the laundry room for an extra place to store canned goods!
Andrew! U r an EXCELLENT teacher! U have been throughout this entire build but u shined even brighter n this video! ALSO, u and Tiffany were SO right about the paint and color of the cabinets! Well done!
This was an excellent video and it clearly shows the steps needed for a variety of different styles. I also agree that it make sense to pay a little extra for some spare hardware. I also had them design and prepare a bid for me and they did a really great job of showing exactly what it might look like. Next step is to double check it and place the order.
Nice looking cabinets. Should look awesome. Can't wait to see what you guys pick for countertops. Just wanted to mention that those cabinets aren't lazy susan cabinets. They are considered corner cabinets. True lazy susan cabinets shelf and "bottom" turns 360 degrees inside the cabinet, making it easier to reach stuff all they way in the back. It's really uncomfortable to bend down and get to that appliance that got shoved to the back.
@@TKCL You're going to wish you had gotten them. The opening is so narrow it's really hard to utilize most of the cabinet space without the lazy susan. But, I know you will figure something out. You're really good at that.
They look very nice and pretty easy to put together:) glad they are going to send you more screws:) tfs stay safe and God Bless and have a very Merry Christmas:)
I worked part time for a friend’s renovation company. I was fine assembling and removing the old cabinets. Doing the fine work of leveling and crown molding I left to him.
Great video again Andrew. Love the solid wood and the colour Tiffany picked. You guys are going to have one beautiful home too be very proud of. Your both doing a great job of matching things up, good choices. Take care from South Western Ontario 🇨🇦
Looking great with the cabinets thus far Andrew. You are obviously a man of many talents. I enjoyed the video very much. Thanks for sharing. Take care and God Bless.
GREAT Video! Thanks so much for the insight. I purchased (assembled) for my bath ... well built, and am designing kitchen now. The Lazy Susan assembly actually answered some questions for me (accordion door...check!). Now to debate on the assembly... :D THANKS AGAIN!
@@TKCL I like that green paint. Your home is going to be very cozy and lovely. Miss Tiffany, maybe besides her future cooking channel, should consider decorating.
Excellent job with the cabinets and good choice for the materials. I had to rebuild a few of mine that had the disintegrating particle board interiors.
I'm with you on the particle board crap...it's basically just sawdust & wood glue! BTW: You can get a magnetizer/de-magnetizer to make any of the bits magnetic...really helpful thing to have around :)
Loved the vid as usual, I would recommend putting some mounted led lighting in the lazy susan cabinet so you can see what's in the back of the cabinet. I've ran into the problem of not being able to see in the back and thinking I lost something. Turns out it was waaaayyyy in the back.
If I was to be building my cabinets I definitely would love to find a video like this on “how to” do it the right way. Well done Andrew very pleasant and enjoyable video to watch. I hope you and Tiffany enjoy your Christmas card I sent you. I hope y’all have a blessed Christmas.
Andrew, do yourself a favor; go to Lowe's or Home Depot, someplace and find the replacement brass or metal shelf brackets, they match size. Overtime the plastic will deteriorate and break.
Clark & Deborah: Andrew great assembly instructor video, people will be watching this one for years to come, 5***** aka- ladder shirt & camo flip flops....
The cabinets LOOK awesome. I hope the company didn't have finish on those edges you were gluing otherwise you are relying on the brackets and tiny screws. The only other hardware issues is the super cheap drawer slides they sent, those give new meaning to builder grade. But like I said they look awesome and look great against your wall paint color. I am sure they will stay together and work nice enough for many years to come despite my concerns. Love all your videos and can't wait to see all the cooking videos on the future coking channel.
Man that sucks that hardware was missing but those are some nice looking cabinets 👍🏽... I would of gotten a bigger hammer and framing air gun and they would never come apart 🤷🏽♂️ or go back together again 🤦🏽♂️🙄
This is very timely for me as i will be starting my kitchen reno in next month and going crazy with RTA cabinets. Whats your take on the box being 1/2" instead of 3/4"? how about overall quality of hardware? im debating barker cabinets which are more expensive but man they are a huge upgrade from other RTA manufacturers
Have you seen how barker assembles? Much much harder. Also I have 1/2 sides on my cabinets and they are perfect and 10 years old. 1/2 inch will last a life time.
@@decker377 I don’t know what you mean by much much harder. Half the stuff Andrew had to install already is installed on a barker cabinet when you get it. Plus any cabinet maker will tell you that 3/4 is the way to go. Having said that, they will cost me about 4k more. So def a trade off. I can’t fathom spending even 4.5k on cabinets and only one has the right hardware.
The 1/2 does not bother me since it's plywood. As for the hardware, take that as you heard it. The cabinets were a great deal, but some things did suffer.
But of course you had extra hinges and screws, I think your supply is better than some shops:))) I pray that someone helps you mount the upper cabinets, they must be pretty heavy!
Andrew, I may of missed it but what size of kitchen are you doing and what was cost on these cabinets. My wife and I'll be redoing a farm house this spring for my MIL and am considering using these cabinets.
Andrew, the bumpers for the doors. What are they made of? Silcone or rubber or cork? It looked like a clear silicone bumper, but couldn't tell. Not sure if there are different qualities of the silcone material, but mine in NC sort of melted into a gooey mess after a few years due to the heat and just looks like crap and sticky blob now. Keep an eye out if yours are the same.
Chances are the hardware packs are machine filled in China. They probably weigh them for QC. Evadently they need to tighten up the range. Good job, I could do it but some would never have the patience.
Andrew was your concrete leveled for finish or do you plan on pouring floor leveling stuff before installing cabinets and flooring? My builder and pour the leveling stuff just to make sure the Foundation did not settle a bit I live in north central Texas..oh and I need to go back to the beginning I did not see the house build from the beginning so just asking.
The concrete crew was maticulous when pouring, even carrying around a laser level with them. With that said I'll check it out. I'm sure I have more inconsistencies in the cabinets than the concrete.
@@TKCL best joint you can buy or make no hands down. So much glue area. When you get finished with the house you and Tiffany go to antique stores and look how the old furniture was made 99% will have dove tail joints that were hand made and they are still as strong today as yesterday. They have jigs now days that make them rather quickly. I know this shoulds crazy but on a rainy day when I'm stuck in the house I have several times gone into the shop and found some scrap wood and played around making them by hand.its not easy at all but super fun!!!! Look for them when you buy furniture and or cabinets it's the mark of a good piece!!
2:02 This information is incorrect. Most, if not all, of lily ann cabinets that are painted are an engineered door and drawer front. It's basically MDF. AND, some stained door styles are solid wood stiles and rails, but MDF panel that has been veenered...

While I know leaving this comment here means it is too late for your cabinets, but for anyone watching this and planning to buy and assemble their cabinets like this, please note that it may be worth the time to tape a razor blade and scrape away the finish from the face frames prior to adding wood glue and attaching the side panels. A lot of wood glue's strength comes from being able to soak into the wood grain and with finish already applies, the bond will be weaker.
You bought the cheapest cabs. if you buy the next up you get groved with no need for them (white) other attachment I have done a few dozen kitchens with them all the other cabs are high end and solid.
The next video after this one shows the newer cabinets. The company reached out to me and swapped us, great people and I agree the higher end cabinets are worth it.

Are the quiet/self closing doors
Their premium models offer the soft close. We wound up going with those and love them.
interesting but the downloadable instructions from their site dont indicate any such brackets for attaching sides to the face frame...
Their bracket system has changed a few times, I'd go with whatever comes with your cabinets.

Most, if not all, of lily ann cabinets that are painted are an engineered door and drawer front. It's basically MDF.

Every piece that was glued was rough wood to rough wood. I don't remember any glued edges being finished wood.
The lazy-Susans are a waste of space. Should've just stuck with shelves in the bottom corner cabinets.
You bought the cheapest cabs. if you buy the next up you get groved with no need for them (white) other attachment I have done a few dozen kitchens with them all the other cabs are high end and solid.
The next video after this one shows the newer cabinets. The company reached out to me and swapped us, great people and I agree the higher end cabinets are worth it.
