Plan the Storage and the Delivery Path Together
Inside the Residence
- Inventory cookware, dishes, food, small appliances, and household supplies
- Use drawers and roll-outs where low shelves would be difficult to reach
- Confirm appliance, plumbing, electrical, and ventilation requirements
- Respect windows, soffits, structural walls, and connected-room sightlines
- Protect comfortable walking, appliance, and seating clearances
Through the Building
- Measure freight elevators, loading areas, doorways, hallways, and tight turns
- Review condominium or association approvals and work procedures
- Coordinate delivery reservations, floor protection, work hours, and staging
- Verify every cabinet can reach the residence before ordering
- Plan installation sequencing when storage space is limited

Frequently Asked Questions
South Pasadena Cabinetry Questions
Can MDI plan cabinetry for a South Pasadena condominium?
Yes. MDI can plan kitchens, vanities, bars, closets, laundry storage, and living-area built-ins while accounting for room dimensions, building access, and association procedures.
What should be checked before ordering cabinets for a bayfront condominium?
Confirm room dimensions, appliance and utility requirements, freight elevator and loading access, hallway and doorway clearances, staging space, work hours, floor protection, and association procedures before ordering.
Do coastal interiors automatically require marine-grade cabinets?
No. Conditioned indoor cabinetry and directly weather-exposed cabinetry are different applications. Outdoor kitchens and exposed bars require separate exterior specifications.
Can I order RTA cabinets for a South Pasadena project?
Yes, when an available collection fits the room, design, and component requirements. Every cabinet, panel, skin, filler, molding, accessory, and finished end should be verified before ordering.
Does MDI provide installation?
MDI Luxury Cabinetry provides cabinet planning and supply. Installation may be handled by the customer, a chosen qualified contractor, or coordinated separately through MDI Custom Homes when appropriate for the project and service area.
