Buying from MDI Luxury Cabinetry is not based on unsupported promises or one cabinet line presented as the answer to every project. The process begins by matching the room, design, construction expectations, budget, and installation plan to the appropriate cabinetry path.
Who MDI Serves
Cabinetry for Homeowners, Contractors, Builders, and Designers
MDI Luxury Cabinetry is a Florida-based direct-to-consumer cabinetry business providing ready-to-assemble cabinet collections with nationwide shipping and custom cabinetry services for applicable Florida projects.
Customers can purchase cabinetry directly without being limited to a dealer-only showroom. The level of design assistance, product customization, delivery, assembly, and installation depends on the selected product path and project scope.
Homeowners
Plan cabinetry for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, bars, offices, closets, built-ins, and whole-home storage.
Trade Professionals
Builders, contractors, installers, and designers can source cabinetry while coordinating installation and construction separately.
Local Custom Clients
Florida customers may explore custom cabinetry designed around project-specific dimensions, storage, materials, finishes, and architecture.
Two Product Paths
RTA Cabinet Collections and Custom Cabinetry Are Different Services
MDI offers multiple cabinet solutions because an established cabinet collection and a fully custom cabinet project solve different problems. The right choice depends on the room, required dimensions, desired finish, design details, budget, schedule, and installation plan.
Ready-to-Assemble Cabinetry
RTA cabinetry uses established cabinet sizes, door styles, finishes, panels, fillers, moldings, and accessories. It can be shipped nationwide and assembled at the destination.
- Established cabinet dimensions
- Collection-specific construction
- Published finish selections
- Separate fillers and panels
- Nationwide freight delivery
- Customer-arranged assembly and installation
Custom Cabinetry
Custom cabinetry provides greater control over dimensions, materials, finishes, storage, architectural relationships, and coordination between multiple rooms.
- Project-specific dimensions
- Specialized storage
- Custom materials and finishes
- Integrated architectural details
- Coordinated whole-home millwork
- Local project evaluation
Before Design Begins
What MDI Needs From the Customer
Good cabinet guidance depends on accurate project information. A photograph or approximate wall length is not enough to finalize a complete order.
- Room measurements and ceiling heights
- Locations of doors, windows, and openings
- Plumbing, electrical, and ventilation conditions
- Appliance model numbers and specifications
- Preferred cabinet collection or design direction
- Finish and decorative-hardware preferences
- Storage priorities and required accessories
- Known soffits, columns, beams, or obstructions
- Installation responsibility and contractor information
- Project location and delivery conditions
The Buying Process
From Collection Selection to Order Approval
The exact process varies between a straightforward cabinet purchase and a complete custom project, but the same principle applies: resolve the important decisions before releasing the order.
Define the Project
Identify the rooms, desired cabinetry path, style, finish, storage goals, budget range, location, and expected schedule.
Develop the Layout
Coordinate cabinets, appliances, clearances, fillers, panels, moldings, accessories, and finished transitions.
Review the Order
Confirm item numbers, sizes, quantities, finishes, handing, accessories, delivery information, and written policies.
Approve and Deliver
Approve the final order, prepare for freight delivery, inspect the shipment, and coordinate assembly and installation.
What Design Support Covers
Planning Beyond the Visible Door Style
Selecting a door style is only the beginning. A cabinet order must also account for the room, appliance requirements, operating clearances, exposed sides, trim, accessories, and installation conditions.
Cabinet Layout
Coordinate cabinet sizes, storage, work areas, seating, circulation, appliances, fixtures, and connected-room sightlines.
Fillers and Clearances
Allow doors, drawers, pulls, appliances, organizers, and adjacent surfaces to function without avoidable conflicts.
Finished Ends
Identify cabinet sides requiring finished panels, applied doors, skins, scribes, or other collection-specific components.
Moldings and Trim
Coordinate crown, light rail, toe-kick material, valances, fillers, and transitions with the room’s architecture.
Interior Storage
Plan roll-outs, waste systems, tray storage, spice storage, drawer accessories, and other functional components.
Order Review
Compare the cabinet list with the approved plan so components and quantities correspond with the intended room.
Cabinet Construction
Specifications Depend on the Selected Collection
MDI does not present every cabinet collection as though it has identical construction. Box materials, panel thicknesses, drawer systems, finishes, accessories, assembly, and available sizes may vary.
Compare Before Selecting
- Cabinet-box material and thickness
- Back-panel construction
- Door and drawer-front material
- Drawer-box construction
- Slide and hinge system
- Finished-side requirements
Confirm Before Approving
- Exact collection and finish
- Cabinet sizes and quantities
- Panels, skins, and fillers
- Moldings and accessories
- Assembly responsibility
- Care and warranty information
Pricing and Quotations
Compare the Complete Order—not One Cabinet Price
A cabinet quote may include more than cabinet boxes, or it may exclude components that are necessary to complete the room. Buyers should compare the same scope before deciding which option provides better value.
Cabinets
Confirm exact sizes, quantities, finish, door style, drawer configuration, and collection-specific construction.
Completion Components
Identify fillers, panels, skins, moldings, finished backs, appliance panels, trim, supports, and accessories.
Separate Project Costs
Account for freight, assembly, installation, countertops, demolition, plumbing, electrical, permits, and other construction separately.
Freight and Delivery
Prepare Before the Cabinets Arrive
RTA cabinet orders may be delivered by freight carrier rather than parcel service. The customer should understand the delivery service, unloading conditions, inspection responsibilities, reporting deadlines, and storage requirements before shipment.
Confirm Access
Review truck access, delivery location, residential restrictions, liftgate requirements, site conditions, and receiving assistance.
Inspect and Document
Count packages, examine visible conditions, note freight concerns, take photographs, and retain relevant shipping records.
Store Correctly
Move cabinetry into a dry, secure, climate-controlled location and protect finished components from moisture and construction damage.
Installation Options
Cabinet Supply and Construction Are Separate Responsibilities
MDI Luxury Cabinetry supplies cabinetry and provides applicable cabinet-planning support. Installation and remodeling responsibilities depend on the customer’s chosen project structure.
Customer-Managed Installation
Qualified customers may arrange assembly and installation independently, subject to the product requirements and local project conditions.
Customer’s Contractor
The customer may select a qualified installer or licensed contractor to verify the site, receive cabinetry, assemble products, and complete installation.
MDI Custom Homes
For appropriate local projects, licensed remodeling and construction services may be contracted separately through MDI Custom Homes.
