First Thoughts on Martha Stewart Living Kitchens:

Here at KitchensRated.com we’re huge fans of Martha Stewart. Massive fans. So when we found out that she was giving her name and design know-how to a range of kitchen cabinets and accessories to say we were excited would be an understatement. When we found out that they were to be affordable and easily available through Home Depot stores… well we were practically camped outside Home Depot waiting for the Martha Stewart Living Kitchens display to be installed.

We were a little concerned that the finished product wouldn’t be top-class given the price point and sales location, but Martha Stewart is one clever business lady and for her to give her name to a product – particularly a product as significant as a kitchen – you can be pretty sure her people will have been all over quality with a fine comb.

Martha Stewart Living Kitchens are produced under license by the well known MasterBrand group – a company that offers a wide spectrum of cabinetry products designed to satisfy every budget and lifestyle. Each line in their family of brands provides the same great service, product innovation and quality that MasterBrand is known for, assuring your dream kitchen becomes a reality.

When we first set eyes on the cabinets and doors we were incredibly impressed by the finish and overall quality – beautiful colors and designs, with hard wearing economical surfaces just where they’re needed. We try to remain professional at all times in our reviews – and in all but this one it may have been a successful wish. Martha however has blown us away.

Sure some of the cabinet materials may not be of the highest quality – on the particleboard front – but this is how such an exclusive looking and thoughtfully designed range is available at the pricepoint it’s selling at.

Our particular favorites are Skylands, Ox Hill and Seal Harbor.

Who Are Martha Stewart Living Kitchens?

MasterBrand Group manufacture Martha Stewart Living Kitchens under license in Jasper, Indiana.

The cabinets are sold out of Home Depot, making them easy to find and easy to install with trusted locations across the US. A wide range of nicely designed cabinets and accessories can give customers that Martha Stewart full-custom look at quite literally Big Box prices.

    We bought Martha Stewart Living cabinets to build an island in our kitchen. We have been extremely disappointed in the quality of the door fronts. They are made of particle board/MDF and are poorly sealed/joined at the corners so the slightest moisture causes the board to swell and the coating to bubble. We called a rep after 1-2 years and were surprised to be able to get the doors replaced but the same thing has quickly happened again. It is a manufacturing design flaw that they are poorly sealed against water and are not fit for function in a kitchen!! We would not buy Martha Stewart again!! The only reason for giving them 2 stars is that the internal drawers and runners have been great and lasted for years.

    Had cabinets installed in October of 2019, after about 3 weeks, noticed peeling on corners. Called rep, they came out in November and said that they will order all new fronts for drawers and cabinets but would not get them until after the holiday. During the time of wait, we did not put anything in the cabinets and the carpenter did not even install the knobs; after opening up a couple of the cabinets, they fell off the hinges. We had to put longer screws in them also, on two of the doors, the corner seems started to separate. End of January, got the new doors and drawers, Carpenter replaced about 4 weeks later and now, some of the new doors are falling off the hinges as well as peeling. Never again will I ever get her product. Looking into a lawyer at this point. Medium size Galley kitchen and the price before sale was over $13,000. Not expensive, but by no way cheap. DONT BUY HER PRODUCT!!!

    I looked at Martha Stewart shaker cabinets for 3 yrs. Finally I redid our small kitchen and paid twice as much other cabinets would be. The kitchen looks beautiful but the cabinets right away bubbled when steam or water hit them. Then they started coming apart! The quality is so disappointing. I had to sent 3 cabinets back but continue to have the same problems.

    I bought the Martha Stewart Living Gardner Purestyle Square cabinets from Home Depot. Two large pantry door fronts fell apart at the seams after just five months! They were installed in August 2017 and fell apart within two weeks of each other in January 2018. Maybe Martha should look into the quality of their workmanship. They were not abused at all and were very gently handled by myself and adult daughter. I am very disappointed.

    I am very happy with my MS cabinets. I have them in the laundry room now for a year and have had no problem. The color and quality of the MS cabinets are pristine.

    Liked them but only in for 6 months and door coming apart. Also seeing strange wave likes in the surface of the doors (large cabinet doors) that looks like tiny cracks in the paint.

    My shaker style cabinets began to bubble and separate on many door /drawer fronts
    Within the first year, horrible low level mosture resistance. I have expensive counter,
    Good protection but cabinets are so poorly mfg.also chipping,flaking,dents …
    Surface is so thin the slightest tap creates a chip or dent. So disappointd in quality.
    Laminates are a poor choice for a kitchen , and theres only two of us so i hardly even
    Cook. Save your money get a better quality cabinet as i would never recommend
    These Martha Stewart cabinets!

    Horrible experience! After 3 months and missing drawer and door plus a defective door that did come with order! Back ordered they said! Having trouble with color!! They are white!! Asked if we wanted a different color! Give me a break!! Martha Stewart doesn’t need to be in this business!! Do not recommend these cabinets ordered from Home Depot!

    Purchased and paid in full MS cabinets from Home Depot. This was in January 2014! Still waiting on cabinets. We are on the fifth re-order. Obvious issues with quality control. Cabinets and doors continue to arrive flawed. Home depot has distanced themselves but still have my money. Master brands rep keeps apologizing but that got old long ago. The cabinets that are installed are nice. If not for custom granite we would have pulled up cabinets and returned long ago. Hoping Home Depot , Master brand and Martha Stewart compensate fully.

    I am now awaiting the 7th panel that is the finishing piece to a kitchen that has been in process since mid April. Not acceptable in any way, shape, or form. Master Brands may only be the distributor but their name is on the products/books. As a matter of fact it is the only contact listed on the Martha Stewart Living cabinet brochure.

    I am nearing the end of an install of MSL cabinets- the quality control is the worst. I am currently awaiting a fifth shipment of one particular piece and had to go through 3 shipments on several others before anything resembling acceptable. I now have 4 panels lined up in my living room that are not usable, one of them being the totally wrong (opposite) color. I am very unhappy with this experience.

    Picket white kitchen cabinets failure. The drawer fronts and doors are great but the cabinets have turned yellow. It will have to be totally replaced. Avoid white at all costs

    MasterBrand cabinets make the Martha Stewart line sold through HD.

    MasterBrands quality control is terrible. They also pick whichever freight line that will lose and destroy their product. Their customer service is non-existent.

    They actually shipped us defective cabinets with their own pink quality control rejection slips inside the cabinets!!!

    We have been living this nightmare for 4 months and are going to have Home Depot take back the entire 39 cabinet order and replace with something MasterBrand does NOT manufacture.

    The Martha line looks great but the company making them is just awful.

    I’d buy anything of Marthas and her kitchens were the obvious choice. The looked amazing in the photos and only a little less so in the flesh. Very happy with our choice even if we directly copied the promotional shots even down to the same wall paint and accessories and now it feels like Martha Stewart herself has designed our kitchen

    Very happy with our shaker style kitchen. We went a little overboard on trim and it ended up costing over ten grand but worth it. The match boarding spalshbacks make a real difference and although expensive very glad we opted for glass doors over the counter
