H. Wolford –
After spending over $15,000 for cabinets in our newly built Hawaii home, we are seriously disappointed in DeWils. Doors are out of square, and require continual adjustments to prevent rubbing and binding. Shaker style fronts are attached to drawer frames by over-sized holes with screws, causing alignment issues. Trash bin unit drawer does not work smoothly.Joints where rails meet styles are not flush, which again causes binding issues. We bought a “garage door” unit to hide our microwave, however the door of that unit is not the same width as the double doors on the units above and below, and the center style of the unit is thinner than to two door front rails they meet. This causes poor visuals. We have only had them a few months, yet the painted finish on a few doors are showing wear issues.

I’m disappointed. While some doors are beautiful others are rough to the touch as though they haven’t been sanded. I went with the Horizon cabinets for the streamlined look. Drawers and cabinet doors do not line up. So everything is off. A couple of doors have a crown! Drawers that do not have the soft close. Yep I’m disappointed!

I feel compelled to comment because our experience with the quality of DeWills cabinets is so different!
We chose the DeWills white thermofoil for our entire kitchen, having been told they were very durable and well-made. Yet, we have had serious problems related to their quality. Many of the cabinet doors and drawre fronts began to peel away from the undrelying surface a few years after they were installed. The dealer we bought them from had gone out of business so we didn’t know what to do and let time go by. This year we finally have made contact with the company through a different dealer. We are still awaiting their final response but the first company rep told us it is unlikely that DeWills will stand behind any of our cabinets. Just want to warn others that all that glistens isn’t always gold.
