RTA is not a brand, rather a style of cabinetry. You are more than likely familiar with some form of RTA products. Every big box retail store sells them, but beware, none of the big box retailers carry quality RTA kitchen cabinets. Why you ask? Because all super stores are not in the business of selling quality, these stores are only trying to get you the best price and the best looking product.
