Pros

Merillat cabinets come standard, with features like roll-out trays for every floor-level cabinet.

Cabinet interiors are customized for easy cleaning and exceptional durability.

Merillat started a program to improve energy efficiency, increase recycling, protect the forests, and improve air quality.

Cons

Online reviews show that some customers have complained of shoddy workmanship after installation.

Durability

With most of their cabinet styles made from solid wood, Merillat cabinets should be able to withstand the wear and tear of a normal kitchen environment—and they offer warranties to back up their products as well.

Maintenance

As with most kitchen cabinets, Merillat cabinets generally only need to be wiped down with a soft, damp cloth. Tougher stains can be removed with a mixture of dishwashing detergent and warm water. Try to avoid using abrasive household cleaners, as these can harm the finish, and always wipe cabinets dry after cleaning.

Common Questions and Answers

Can a discontinued door style be ordered directly from the Merillat manufacturer?

No, according to their website, once a door is discontinued, it can no longer be ordered from the manufacturer. However, a local contractor may be able to recreate one for you.

What types of warranties does Merillat offer?

Merillat offers three types of warranties: the Merillat Masterpiece, a limited lifetime warranty; the Merillat Classic, a 25-year limited warranty; and the Merillat Essentials, a 5-year limited warranty. You can read more about these warranties here.
