Cons

Some also report receiving cabinet doors that do not match.
KraftMaid Cabinets don’t come with the high-end quality of custom-made cabinetry.
Durability
While KraftMaid Cabinets are considered durable, how long they last and the amount of wear and tear they withstand depends on the material used. However, they do offer a limited lifetime warranty to ease the mind of the consumer.
Maintenance
Maintaining KraftMaid Cabinetry generally requires regular cleaning. Simply wipe them down with a damp cloth to get rid of dust, or a mixture of dishwashing detergent and water to wipe away tougher stains. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads and powdered cleansers, as this can ruin the finish.
