Barker Cabinets

I purchased 4 doors for a (custom) linen closet and my spec’s were very tight. The doors that Barker delivered were exact and fit perfectly in all ways. It’s a relief to receive a product that I didn’t have to ‘work’, ‘rework’, ‘jury rig’, or otherwise.
Without hesitation Barker is my go-​to-​guy

I am a contractor, and have owned a cabinet shop in the past. I purchased Hickory cabinets from Barker and could not be happier. The quality is outstanding, shipping was perfect, with no damage, and the finish is perfect. I’m very pleased and would not hesitate to order again.

I’m still planning my kitchen remodel. I expect to start the project in the spring.
I live on the East Coast and discovered Barker Cabinets through consumer review sites.
I’ve emailed Chad with questions and I’ve ordered samples. Chad was helpful and quick with his response and my samples shipped within 24 hours of placing the order.
On a recent trip to Portland, I visited the factory showroom and was very impressed with the quality of construction and the selection of door styles and options.
Based on the outstanding and personalized customer service and the quality of the product, I’m sure I’ll be ordering my new kitchen from Barker Cabinets.

After a lot of searching through all of the RTA kitchen cabinet companies, we finally settle on Barker. We have a small kitchen and we needed to maximize our space. While we’re generally happy with what we received, it’s definitely been a mixed bag.
Overall the quality is fine, though some of the materials used on the outside of the boxes had blemishes and/​or not entire fully finished. So, definitely plan on using end pieces. When ordering full cabinets, plan on it taking the longest they say it might. The good news is that when they finally had an expected delivery date, that is the date they arrived. And this company ABSOLUTELY knows how to pack things.
I would agree with the other comment regarding sawdust. Plan on spending a little bit of time vacuuming. In our case, some of the slots for backs were not completely clear so we had to clean that up a bit.
The boxes self-​square, and that definitely works. That said, not all edges lined up perfectly. It has not impacted their construction or installation, but just know that’s the case.
Lastly, while the cabinets look great, and our neighbors have been very impressed with how they look, we went with a clear coat finish and not all of the wood/​varnish matches entirely. Not a huge deal for us, but if you’re expecting that you may want to rethink the design.
They’ve been very friendly to work with, generally responsive to email, and they absolutely send more screws, hinges, and hardware than you’ll use in your project. They are absolutely easy to put together, and all the holes are where they’re supposed to be.
For the price, if you have a project where you need to be able to control the dimensions, this is a very good option to go with. We are satisfied with the results.

I’d give barker door three and one half stars but Unilocal didn’t have that option. I purchased the pull out easy close shelves and there good quality. I’d give five stars if there were more width options. My biggest complaint however was a ridiculous amount of grime and sawdust on the drawers when I received them. I literally had to vacuum and then wipe down all seven that I received. They are the online dealer I could find and I’d use them again but they could and should do better since I paid a pretty high price for handling and shipping

We purchased a fixer upper home and the kitchen had really awful cabinet doors & drawer fronts, but the boxes were in good shape. For our labor plus about $ 1700 total ($ 1500 for the cabinets and drawer fronts from Barker, $ 200 for stain, poly, supplies, and some new hinges) we were able to put a really nice new face on this kitchen. We went with the Shaker design and had the cups pre-​drilled. I’m really happy with the result and the quality of the cabinet doors/​drawer fronts is great. All of our material was the correct size and nothing was missing. Will definitely come back again if needed in the future!

Cabinet doors exactly what we needed. Beautiful ‘wood’ and measurements. Definitely would recommend to others.

We had a 3′ deep by 4′ wide cubby that was a wasted space between our bedroom entrance and bathroom. We ordered and stacked a custom sized Barker upper cabinet on a five-​drawer base, with walnut doors and drawers sealed and coated. As other reviewers have said, it took some time before they arrived — about two months. But is was worth the wait. Outstanding quality woodwork that was relatively easy to assemble and install.

Finally took the plunge and decided to give our hideous kitchen a facelift. Rather than trying to salvage the existing doors, we ordered all new doors and drawer fronts in the shaker style with ready-​to-​paint unfinished wood. The production time was quoted as 14 – 18 business days, and they arrived at our house within 16. Compared to all of the other online companies selling cabinet doors, the price truly can’t be beat.
We paid the extra few dollars to have the doors pre-​drilled for hinges and bought those through Barker as well, which I would highly recommend. Each door was easily hung in a matter of minutes, and they were easy to adjust.
I can’t say enough good things about Barker doors. I had a very large order (50 doors and drawer fronts) and everything arrived well packed and exactly as ordered.

I didn’t mind the turnaround time. Having experience with wood work, I know how long it takes for myself to make a cabinet, so, even though I’m sure they’re much faster, I don’t mind the wait. I received the doors exactly as I ordered them, and they were not expensive at all, considering I asked for Maple. Thank you.

Great company, easy order, quick turn around at busy December time, package came early with no damage. Will definitely recommend it to everyone.

We had a HUGE order for our entire kitchen recently, and I am beyond thrilled with how it turned out. It is hard to order something on the internet for your home, and trust that it will look good. Everything came out beautiful. Great quality. Great customer service.

IKEA pricing, custom quality.
This is a review of my initial, but surely not last, experience with Barker Cabinet’s (AKA Barker Door) dovetail drawer box kits. I wish I’d known about this product years ago.
As long as one remembers that one can’t optimize for speed, quality, and price, one will be very satisfied waiting three weeks for great quality at a low price.
I bought two drawer kits of their cheapest grade: ½ inch Baltic plywood, dovetailed drawer box. Mind you, this is their bottom grade and the drawer sides are computer cut from 11-​ply sheets. ELEVEN! Try finding that at your local box store. The drawer bottom is a full ¼ inch thick of around (I can no longer see the edge because it’s enclosed by the rabbets) and was around 5 ply. So many plys mean both strength and stability, as in staying flat over time.
The drawers assembled with the same ease that the little 5-​minute video shows: spot of glue, thump of mallet, let dry. If DIY is too scary, they have an assembled option too.
The only mildly difficult part was attaching and aligning the excellent quality Made-​in-​USA Knape and Vogt (KV) drawer guides. I used the measuring and installation instructions on the Barker Door web site and it just worked. The drawer slides are full extension, which means the inside back of the drawer can extend to the edge of the counter. The drawer guides cost more than the drawers (because I ordered such little drawers) but they are worth every penny because they are so well made.
In sum, I’m looking for another place to add some cool drawers.

The Best Customer Service and Quality for a bargain price.
My experience with Barker Cabinets was great. I’ve ordered two kitchens from them so far. One kitchen we ordered with a painted finish and it took 7 weeks. The other was not painted and arrived 5 weeks after ordering. Chad Barker was great to work with. I made several mistakes and he was able to quickly get me the replacement pieces. He even provided some of them at no charge.
The quality of the cabinets is very good; quality plywood cabinets boxes and solid wood fronts. The drawer hardware is top quality. To top it off, all the materials are made in America!
As a general contractor and real estate agent in San Francisco I’ll definitely be ordering more kitchens from them.

Ordered online. Received my cabinet doors, drawer fronts and drawer boxes exactly within turn-​around time indicated on website (15 – 18 working days).
Exactly what I ordered, well packaged (green as well, no styrofoam, just enough corrugated cardboard to do the job), expertly crafted and finished in sustainable American hardwood (I chose Alder), for substantially less than I would have paid for big box store particle board.
I literally cannot imagine how this could be any better.

I ordered a substantial number of cabinet doors and drawer boxes using their website (
). In total 14 doors of varying sizes and 12 drawer boxes.
I was given a time estimate for when these items should be produced and delivered. This company delivered on time and all of the items are exactly to the specifications I put in.
Just as important was the quality of the delivered items. The dovetail connections are excellently crafted. The shaker doors look beautiful (I ordered the red oak wood.

We are remodeling our kitchen and decided to re-​face and paint our own cabinets. After ordering from the Cabinet Door Depot and only getting half our order, I stumbled across Barker. I ordered 1 drawer front and one cabinet door as a test. They arrived as promised, we did a test paint and I love them. I just ordered the rest of the doors and drawers and look forward to the larger order being managed as well as the original. I have been to Tualatin several times since my sister lived there, so I am also happy to be doing business with a U.S. based company.

I ordered two plywood drawer boxes. I was very pleased with the quality of the drawers and how sturdy they are. Unfortunately, I measured incorrectly so I wasn’t able to install the drawers as I planned. I will definitely order the correct drawer size from Barker now that I am aware of the quality.

It was exactly what I was searching for. I wanted doors and wood laminate to reface a renovation project I was working on. Doors came in the mail in 5 – 10 days, perfect condition, packaged well and consistent workmanship. I stained them, hooked up hinges and I was in business.
Next renovation — ill come back here because it was everything I wanted. Also here in the Chicago area, seemed like everyone wanted to sell me boxes + doors and all I wanted was the doors and wood laminate.

Very cool service. I ordered a drawer box online, just entering the dimensions, and voila! I got a drawer box a couple of weeks later. My only (minute) criticism is that it would have been nice to be able to input the height of the drawer box. That wasn’t an option. It’s not the end of the world, the drawer is just fine, but it would have been a 5-​star review had that been an option.
That said, if I need another drawer box, I will order it from Barker Cabinets, no hesitation.
