Semihandmade

As an interior designer I have used Semi Handmade cabinet fronts in many projects, including in my own home that was featured in Better Homes & Gardens magazine. It’s a perfect work-around when going fully custom may not be in the budget. I’ve found that the IKEA cabinet components (drawers, hinges, soft-close drawer slides, etc) are of excellent quality, and come with an amazing warranty. IKEA also offers such a vast selection of cabinet boxes in nearly every shape and size imaginable, so it’s easy to find the sizes I need to assemble a kitchen that looks as if it was truly custom built. I love the flexibility of using Semi Handmade unfinished paintable door and drawer fronts, because it allows me to choose any color imaginable. I’ve also used their pre-finished cabinet doors, which have held up really well. I have some favorite ways of tricking out these cabinets to make them look more high end, including adding a bit of custom trim to the toe kick to simulate the custom “feet” of more high end cabinetry. In my own kitchen I installed a wall of floor-to-ceiling cabinetry that we painted deep green (I do suggest using a professional painter to spray them with lacquer for a perfect and lasting finish), and then I lined the backs of the cabinets with a patterned wallpaper, and wrapped the white shelves with faux wood grain contact paper. The result is a very charming deVOL-esque kitchen! Photos attached :)

I completed my DIY kitchen with Ikea frames and Semihandmade door and drawer fronts. The selection and quality at Semihandmade is excellent and their customer service is just as good! I found the exact look I was going for and it turned out just like I imagined! I took my Ikea plan to their team and they created the order including trim pieces that I didn't know I needed. Everything was delivered in perfect condition. Highly recommend!

We’ve worked with Semihandmade on a number of projects and have been so impressed every time. Their customer service always goes above and beyond and whenever there was a small issue, they handled it quickly and made sure everything was right. The variety of colors and styles they offer makes it easy to create different looks and the designs always feel fresh and up to date. The quality of the products is excellent and every project we’ve done with them has turned out beautifully. We will continue to use them as we always enjoy creating gorgeous spaces with their products. Highly recommend!

We have used Semihandmade fronts in multiple kitchens now—love the design options and ease of install. They gave us the custom look we were going for with the ability to DIY and save significantly. Both kitchens have held up beautifully over the years!

I have now had my semihandmade cabinet fronts for about 3 years and I can’t say enough good things about them! Not only are they pretty, trending and such a great way to get a custom look on an ikea budget but these things hold up SO well. I have two young and rowdy kids that play baseball, basketball, ride bikes, remote control cars in my kitchen and my cabinets have help up to it all! They still look brand new and come clean so easily. I highly recommend!

We've been working with Semihandmade for years, and they continue to deliver outstanding results. Wolfgang Pichler Design Inc is a boutique design firm in the Californian desert and as architects and designers we focus on creating sustainable, modern homes for people who crave the desert lifestyle. We are always looking for quality materials that elevate our projects—and Semihandmade never disappoints. Their cabinet doors for kitchens and bathroom vanities consistently enhance our spaces, bringing in a cool, contemporary Californian vibe that our clients love. From clean lines to thoughtful finishes, their products help us bring our design vision to life. Beyond the aesthetics, their service and support have also been excellent—reliable, professional, and design-forward. Highly recommend Semihandmade to any designer, architect, or homeowner looking to create something beautiful and lasting.

I had the pleasure of working with semi-handmade on custom cabinet and drawer fronts for our Heritage House project. We had tricky dimensions and their team was extremely accommodating. From the first consultation call, to the time of delivery, they were attentive and readily available. The quality of the materiel was excellent as well. We opted for unfinished shaker cabinets and used our existing wood cabinet boxes. The fronts took to the primer and paint seamlessly and did not have any marring in the wood itself. I would highly recommend Semihandmade to any homeowner who is looking for beautiful cabinets.

I’ve used Semihandmade for two kitchens and can’t say enough good things about their products! They look great, are easy to install, and are far more affordable than other cabinets on the market. Whenever I hear someone is planning a renovation, I always recommend them. Their website makes ordering simple—I was able to order two kitchens on my own. They also offer design support if you need it, but honestly, if I can do it, so can you! For our first kitchen, we had a contractor install the cabinets, and even he couldn’t believe how easy they were to work with. For our second kitchen, we built everything from the ground up in our cabin and had the same great experience installing the product ourselves. We’re so happy with the quality and ease of customization that we plan to use Semihandmade again for our upcoming bathroom and laundry room renovation in our A-frame cabin.

We have a house fire and are now rebuilding. Viola was very helpful and professional. She listened to all of my questions and thoughts, and then offered helpful solutions and suggestions to address each one individually.

No follow up. The people I met with never got back to me about the pricing/discount for my order. I made two appointments - one in person, and another online. They were supposed to follow up but never did. They did however ask me to leave them a review.

Stay away from this business, The designers are nice and helpful. Shipping is awful and they try to intimidate you.. Stay away.

I'm writing to share my recent experience with Semihandmade, and strongly urge you to review other businesses for your cabinets, they are not the same company we experienced our first time around. In 2018, we had our first project with Semihandmade, and it was outstanding. We used one of SHM recommended designers and the level of support and attention to detail was perfect; our final kitchen, pantry and laundry room were beautiful! As it turned out, our home was featured in Atomic Ranch in its 2021 Design Issue, where I spoke highly of Semihandmade in that interview. We were very proud and recommended their products and services to many people over the years. After moving to Asheville, we planned another kitchen renovation and launched that in January of 2025. Even though our former designer had moved to Modern Twig, we chose Semihandmade again based on our past experience. Unfortunately, this time has been very different. We ordered roughly $28,000 in cabinet fronts-- the largest single expense in our kitchen renovation. We understood the delivery timeline, but the order arrived in separate shipments without advance notice. When my husband (who installed both kitchens) discovered one incorrect cabinet setup and a missing drawer front, he reached out to their customer service. The response from Deanna Bade was essentially, "read your contract," which I found dismissive and frankly did not sit well with me. It was clear from our IKEA design submission that our order had been entered correctly on our side but miscoded in the SHM system. My expectation was to hear, "Sorry that happened--let us make it right." Instead, I received a lecture on treating her "like a professional" before she agreed to resolve the issue--an interaction that left me feeling unwelcome as a customer. Later, as installation progressed, we discovered that the walnut doors were noticeably different in color--clearly not from a single batch, as SHM advertising promises. When I raised this, I was told replacement would require approval from the "walnut manufacturer" and would be done as a "courtesy remake." I had to remind her that Semihandmade--not a third party--was my point of purchase and that this was a quality control failure, not a favor. This caused weeks of delay, but even after the replacements arrived, there was no follow-up to confirm receipt, check color consistency, or offer an apology by Deanna or SHM customer service, only a request to do a survey. I am shocked and saddened at the decline of Semihandmade whom I have raved about for years. Given Deanna Bade describes herself as "Customer Experience Manager with a proven track record in resolving complex issues and driving customer satisfaction", she did not execute at this level at all. I realize this must be a very hard job if there is a lot of customer dissatisfaction with product and operations (which seems to be possible based on reviews), and if that is the case, this ultimately is a reflection on Semihandmade's commitment as a company to quality of product and services. Given the strong competition in this industry, I would think this is not the quality of product SHM wants to deliver or the standard of service SHM want for their customers. Mistakes happen, but a willingness to "bend over backwards" to correct them makes all the difference. Sadly, even after the new walnut order arrived, given the delay in time we realized we could not rip out our entire kitchen and start all over, so the previous construction with panels, built in shelving, etc. that had begun had to stay the same and will always be slightly off in color, a forever reminder. I reached out to the CEO, John McDonald, who did respond and apologized, which was good; but did not offer to compensate us for our customer stress, delay or final mixed matched cabinetry (although I did not ask for one either) - my point was to ensure at the top he knew how much SHM had fallen in my eyes. I've gone from being one of their strongest advocates to feeling I can no longer recommend Semihandmade. I hope my experience helps SHM to identify areas to improve both quality control and customer care, but mostly that you as a customer like me is warned and seriously looks at all the other options before you purchase from this company, I wish we had.

I'm extremely disappointed in this purchase. We decided to get semihand made fronts because we didn't like the selection at ikea and we thought if we paid more we would get decent quality but nope. 50% of our cabinets are bubbling, and most of the rest are peeling at the edges. Our trash drawer looks like literal trash. The interior ikea pieces are in great shape. Just wish we purchased their fronts.

Buyer beware!! Stay Far far away from this company! If you want an order delivered right, on time and with open communication this is THE SINGLE WORST company ive ever worked with. Details: The initial order was made 14 weeks ago and a 6-8 week delivery was quoted. After this time had passed there was still no communication from the company. None. And after calling them in week 9 hoping to get clarification, you will be send to voicemail time and time again as no one is ever around to answer the phone. The rare occasion someone does answer youll be told "well have a manager call you back" which i assure you will NEVER happen. Instead youll receive an email with a legal statement basically saying youre shit out of luck its all an estimation and well maybe get it to you at some point. Which they at this point in time still havent. Its not incompetence with this company, its FRAUD!! They will take your money and then "leave you on read". Disingenious at best but fraudulent more accurately!

The internet suggested this as a way to upgrade from Ikea cabinets. Prices are high but I ordered some samples to see for myself. Quality is terrible, the panels are already coming apart on the samples (see the other reviews which note this too). It's just MDF with a plastic-y finish -- Ikea Veddinge is better. There are several upsell gimmicks for planning the kitchen, designed to make you pay and then get locked into purchasing from them or else lose hundreds of dollars. Finally, you can't return their samples, so they go into a landfill. I paid $50 for crappy samples.

Overpriced! I purchased Semihandmade fronts for my media setup using Besta (IKEA). The upper cabinets were white supermatte, and the lowers were in the Tahoe impression. They don't look high-end at all, especially the white supermatte, which looks no different from IKEA doors. One important detail that nobody mentioned is that the doors are incredibly heavy--three times heavier than regular doors. The specifications do not include the weight of the doors, so you might wrongly assume they weigh the same as regular doors. Do not use these doors for upper cabinets, and even worse, avoid the slab panels, which are also extremely heavy. I'm surprised the IKEA hinges can support the doors! I don't believe Semihandmade products are a suitable replacement for IKEA fronts. Additionally, they sold me a product that was final sale but not priced as such, preventing me from returning the slabs, which I couldn't use because of their weight. My project looks good mainly because of the TV (Samsung "The Frame") and the color of the wall. Other than that, the upper cabinets don't look high-end--they look just like IKEA. The lower cabinets are okay. I could have achieved the same look by buying the lower doors only paying one-third of what I paid in total. For my next project, I will definitely use another company and ensure I research the weight of the doors thoroughly.

Maria was super helpful and accommodating when creating our cart! We couldn't have put in our order without her, it was really hard to decipher what fronts were needed for our IKEA design. We placed our order and are now waiting for the cabinet fronts to arrive! I will update this review once the install is complete.

Found THE Caesarstone quartz countertop on Pinterest, ordered samples from Semihandmade and, after viewing many samples and living with them taped to the wall, we were ready to purchase. We began getting prices locally and sticker shock ensued. That is when we reached out to Semihandmade, simply for a price comparison. I was connected with the immensely knowledgeable and talented Briauna Rapone for a video consultation. Briauna's input was invaluable, she provided us with additional options we had not considered and helped us to get to the final layout. Within 24 hours we received a quote which bested all of our local quotes, substantially, even AFTER the price adjustment for height, outlet placement, etc. We were sent an amazing team that templated and installed our countertops and backsplash and we could not be more pleased. Briauna managed the project seamlessly from start to finish. Thank you! Based on this experience we would not hesitate to recommend Briauna, Caesarstone and Semihandmade. We couldn't be more pleased with the finished result.

I ordered a "Teak Floating Shelf". The picture showed a solid piece of wood. My intent was to use this as an outside shelf to match my outdoor teak furniture, and with a solid piece of wood, I knew I could keep it nice and refinish it if necessary. The price was $580, which certainly seemed in line with a wood shelf. What I received was garbage. The floating shelf is made of plywood pieces with thin (possibly) teak veneer. It is hollow. Whereas teak would last 20 years, I don't think this will last a year outside. There was no mention that it is veneer laminate plywood, no mention that it is hollow. Also, no possibility of return. I can't describe how disappointed I am with this purchase.

Terrible!! Poor quality! The cabinets have bubbled and peeled on 80% of our kitchen and not even 4 years old. Previous home owners ordered replacements for the ones that were bubbling and Semihandmade sent wrong colors and sizes and will not send the correct ones without us paying for them. Terrible customer service! I hope people read this and stay clear!!

Would be great if the salesperson was more knowledgeable about the product. Showroom should consider having more "kitchens" on display - there's certainly room for it,

UPDATE: Semihandmade has clarified that they "do not provide direct replacements for Ikea products." Please see their reply below. Be VERY wary if your intention is to replace existing IKEA cabinet fronts with Semihandmade products as, by Semihandmade's own admission, this is not what they do! ORIGINAL REVIEW: Overpriced, poor quality and just not useful. I ordered two drawer fronts (15 inch by 6/12 inch) to replace some old Ikea drawer fronts from Semihandmade's Ikea replacement line. The order cost a whopping $168 PLUS $25 shipping and that was WITH a $33.60 discount (the normal price would have been $226 including shipping for two drawer fronts that are less than 7 inches in height!). The items took a month to arrive and what arrived cannot be used. The Semihandmade drawer fronts (pictured here) are at least 1/4" thicker than the Ikea drawer fronts. If I use these fronts they will extend past the cabinets doors below creating a cheap, thrown together look in my kitchen. Why would a company advertise that their products can be used to replace Ikea fronts, and yet the dimensions of their product do not allow them to be integrated with the original Ikea product? This cannot be a mistake on Semihandmade's part - and there was no option for me to order a drawer front of a lesser thickness (all of the other dimension work, by the way) Perhaps the intention is to force the customer to replace ALL of their Ikea fronts with Semihandmade items all to once. I do not have a huge kitchen, but I did a quick calculation and it would cost me about $4400 to replace all of my existing fronts with Semihandmade replacements. That's more than I originally paid for the Ikea cabinets and fronts combined. Also, the finish on the Semihandmande fronts is already starting to pucker and peel on the edges. You can see this in the photo which was taken about 5 minutes after I received and (immediately) opened the box. There IS a bit of upside though. This $169 experience has convinced me to try to sand and repaint my existing Ikea drawer fronts myself. I am off to the paint store to find samples to match the color and, if I invest $200-300 in a really good paint sprayer, I still end up thousands of dollars ahead. Plus, I will have the ability to patch any dings or scratches going forward. In the end, it was totally worth it to determine that the Semihandmade product is an overpriced, poorly made, non-starter. I hope this helps!

We had the same issues as other customers have mentioned in the reviews, they look great at first but don't hold up very long. I was told that my cabinet doors and drawers were out of warranty (5 years) and that I would need to re-purchase the same ones to solve the problem. They offered a discounted quote but in my opinion, it wasn't enough of a discount for me to re-purchase a product that won't hold up over time. We raved about this product before we had these issues and now I won't refer anyone knowing you will have to re-purchase and replace it in such a short time frame. So, surprisingly, you should go with IKEA over this product, it will be less expensive and last a lot longer.

Doing a semicustom solution for cabinetry was a daunting task, but Maria was an ace throughout the process and walked me through every aspect of the design & order in painstaking detail. After engaging with some not so rigorous subs and vendors, her expertise and mastery of the product gave me full confidence that I was in great hands. And she triple checks ALL of her work. Bless! She's continued to be super responsive, accommodating (and patient) throughout, as we've explored adding additional elements to the order. Hopefully the delivery & install process is just as smooth!

Maria was amazing to work with! She was so knowledgable about the products and steered me clear of any potential issues. I am so grateful for her help to make our kitchen what we dream it to be.

Had a really productive appointment with Viola at the showroom. She helped me with my project, and suggested solutions which were great! Very excited to work with Semihandmade for my gut renovation.

UPDATE: No resolution provided by the Semihandmade team, only a discount on additional orders. Sorry I will not dump more money into a business I do not trust. Lots of pictures of Walnut fronts on the website, would be nice to have some examples listed on the website that show "expected" variation like I received. Quality of walnut veneers are terrible. There is no quality control on color or consistency that is typical of this type of work. I understand variation and will accept, but what was provided shows a lack of selection on semihandmade's part There are statements on their website to help the team hide from their clear lack desire to make consistent product, but no pictures to actually show how bad it can be. Stick with your local cabinet maker or Ikea fronts they are far better, and will stand behind the product. I will have to eat the cost of semihandmade issues as their team has made it clear that their veneer selection has the lowest possible bar. Very dissatisfied in the entire experience product through support.

BUYER BEWARE! This is first time I am reviewing a business on Yelp. I like to resolve issues that I may have with a business privately. However, I placed an order for cabinets doors, only to receive a partial and damaged order. I received my order with four missing doors. One damaged door and two refrigerator panels that are the incorrect size. I've been going thru this debacle and incompetent behavior for three weeks without any solution. I have been blamed for your designer's incompetence and lack of preparing my order correctly. This company cannot read nor interpret IKEA's drawing accurately. I have provided proof with pictures of the damaged door, missing peninsula doors and incorrect size refrigerator panels. It's important when designing a kitchen that specific measurements and appliance specifications are adhered to. Semihandmade is not taking responsibility for the cabinet doors missing from my invoice, yet I did not create the invoice or review the specific materials required for the design. In the meantime, my project is delayed by unprofessionalism and incompetence. After you have screwed-up my order, I cannot reach a resolution specialist who can accurately read the drawings and invoice which you created. Instead, you are repeatedly asking rhetorical questions instead of referring to the drawings and invoice you prepared. Simply unprofessional, and not taking accountability for your inaction and way to blame the customer. REASON WHY YOU SHOULD NOT BUY CABINET DOORS FROM SEMIHANDMADE!Poor customer service! Delayed my project! Do not have replacement doors readily available! In accurate, measuring, and sizing!

Same as many others here our semihandmade doors started bubbling after 2 years... when we called them we were told this is not a part of warranty but they replaced the 4-5 doors that were bubbling. Now again all those replaced doors and also other doors have bubbled. We are going back to IKEA doors (Bodarp which have proved to be of superior quality to semihandmade)

I am a architect and kitchen designer and have been working with semi handmade for over 10 years. I have had really good experiences working with them until our last few projects where it seems like they are no longer experience oriented. We just completed a project where they made one of our cabinet doors a half inch too narrow. We then called and they got the replacement door out there. My clients opened the package and noticed a little damage on the inside of the door but had already accepted the package. I sent the picture to semi handmade and somehow they were able to determine that tool in the image my client took was what damaged the door. I trust my clients and told them that was not true and then they offered to send me a 'one time' replacement door. I never responded to that email and before I knew it, they sent out the new package. It has been a week and apparently I owe the shipping company 170$ for storing the package. They make a great product but don't expect them to care about your experience any more. There are a lot of local companies that can make 3rd party fronts and I suggest you visit with them for a quote before you just go with semi handmade. they used to be a competitive option but are no longer competitive to what a custom cabinet builder can do. Also there turn around isn't that efficient anymore either.

Cabinet and drawer fronts 6 years old and coming apart. I'm so disappointed. I love the look and what seemed like really good quality of Semihandmade. The heat sealed fronts are coming apart from the backs in a bubbling effect. This started with one by the stove less than 5 years ago. I figured it was because it was next to the stove where there is a lot of steam. I started turning on the fan constantly so that it would not get worse. That said, a well-made product that goes in the kitchen should not be damaged by steam. Now there are multiple other doors not near the stove that are coming apart. I called the company, and they informed me that they do not make the finish any more, that my warranty was only for two years and so there was nothing they could do. I would have been fine with not them, replacing the doors, but picking them up and reheating to secure them back down but they said no. The current warranty is only for five years. Be warned! This cost me over $10,000 and they look tacky now. I expected the IKEA foundations to fall apart before the fronts. The fronts cost more than the actual cabinets themselves.

Our old ikea cabinets were cracking with paint chip peeling and after much research we found semihandmade where we got our doors replaced. The team guided us in what info they need and are experts in Ikea replacement doors. They pointing out potential issues, a measurement we nearly missed and were careful to make sure it'll all work. We got the doors in about 4 weeks and are very happy with the one side we replaced and ordering the rest.

We installed our Semihandmade kitchen in 2019, and within 2 years the doors and side panels began to delaminate. I reached out when it first happened and were provided with two new panels free of charge and felt this was a one-off occurence. Since then, all edges are peeling away. When I contacted Semihandmade customer service again, I was told this is due to excessive heat exposure in my kitchen (one of the panels was adjacent to a dishwasher, sold to us for this exclusive purpose)? A curious defence from a company that sells a product designed for a kitchen. At this point, even the hinge side edge of cabinet doors are delaminating. Reading between the lines, SHM knew there was an issue with the original maker of this line and have since switched. When we purchased SHM, there were very few reviews from homeowners who had lived with them for more than a year. With hindsight, I would never have worked with SHM, knowing we will be having to re-do the entire kitchen in the next few years. My best friend currently is wood glue.

***UPDATE*** not only are semi handmade crooks but they're also liars. Do not believe any of their response. I have receipts to prove everything they are saying is not true. I called them panicking and in tears telling them not to cancel my order. Telling them I am 7 months pregnant and I want my kitchen done before I give birth. This is after I spoke with the shipping company who said they could absolutely still deliver the order to me. Not only did CX hang up on me but so did the owner when my husband called to say that the order was on his CC and they had no right to cancel. I ended up in the hospital due to stress caused to myself and the baby so claiming the owner had no intention to cause harm when they KNOW they could have delivered that order is just plain gaslighting. Feel free to message me directly if you have any questions about this disgusting excuse for a company and their despicable owner. The 2 star average review should tell you enough though.

I'm honestly torn. We love our kitchen and overall have loved the product. We did it ourselves and overall the directions were straight forward and simple. Unfortunately my review reflects our experience with customer service. There were a few errors with our order, they were either not handle or not handled quickly enough. When a company leaves a piece of your order out (especially when you spend this much!) I expect it to be handled as quickly as possible. Its unfortunate to end with a great product but a bad taste in my mouth. I don't know if we will use them again. So all in all, it's great if you place your order and nothing is wrong. But we used their build your cart service and there were still things wrong!

I have never done a large home renovation so needless to say, I was nervous about committing to a kitchen remodel without a contractor, all on my own. Briauna with Semihandmade walked me through the process and helped answer so many of my questions. I am so excited to watch my vision come together! I HIGHLY recommend a consultation prior to purchase. Thank you, Briauna, for all your help!

I don't usually leave reviews but I wanted to hop on here to discuss Semi-Handmade's excellent customer service. We actually had our kitchen installed nearly 5 years ago. Last summer, we started noticing that the faces were increasingly delaminating, buckling and cracking across most of our cabinets. Very concerned, I reached out to Semi-Handmade and they immediately admitted that there was a manufacturing issue involving a glue failure with some of their orders over a few month span, years ago. Our kitchen was affected by this issue. After speaking with their lovely representative Deanna, as well as the owner John, they offered to entirely replace the kitchen at no cost. I just recently had everything re-installed and it looks amazing. I can appreciate and understand that there can be unforeseen issues with any product or service one buys, and I am so happy with the resolution Semi-Handmade provided us with. I highly recommend their product, not only because it is very well made, but also because the company went above and beyond to address my issue. Thank you Semi-Handmade!

we had a great experience with this company! The whole process was clear, easy, and pleasant. I was a bit nervous about doing the installation myself, but the whole process of pairing with new and old ikea cabinet boxes was totally seamless. Installation was a breeze. The customer service rep, Deanna, was incredibly helpful and responsive any time I had questions. Personalized requests were promptly granted, and it was always easy to reach a real person by phone or email. Highly recommend the product and the company!

I am leaving a better review than I may initially have as I spent a week back and forth with their customer service. As other reviews have noted what you see online is not what you will receive in real life. The colour of the doors I received was almost entirely white versus what was clearly shown as a light wooden door online with some white washing. When I emailed them about this they agreed that the two were not aligned and they would change their images online (they have yet to). The problem that I had here was after waiting a month for these doors the customer service team then made it seem like they would do me a favour to refund me but still expected me to pay for the shipping of 63lbs of doors back to California from NJ. This was 10% of what I originally spent on the doors and it just wasn't in my budget to throw that money away because their imagery is misleading & they didn't deliver what was ordered. Now I am going to have to prime and paint these doors to a colour that works for us. Clearly below there are many other people with similar complaints so it seems like they need to overhaul their system. They really did the bare minimum to correct this problem. The quality of the product is definitely superior to Ikea but perhaps still a little plasticky and I feel like the full price of these items is definitely on the higher end - I think had the doors actually looked like they were supposed to I might not have minded paying so much for them. They were picked well and delivered without any damage. Would I recommend the company to a friend? No. But I would definitely advise ordering samples if you do plan on buying anything from this company.

I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND Semihandmade; I bought their cabinet doors almost 4 years ago for my kitchen and they started delaminating after about a year. Sometimes I get something akin to a papercut when I open and shut them because the back piece is separating from the front part of the face. They are also cracked at several locations on the corners . The last straw for me: the top part is bubbling up where the trim of the shaker meets the depressed part; hard to describe but it makes the top part of each corner look dirty because it casts a strange shadow. It seems like Semihandmade did not quality test this product at all. Even though it was cheap, I expected it to last at least 5 years, not 1 year. Such a waste of resources; I feel silly for not doing more research and just following the hype. Full disclosure: I never reached out to them so they could fix things. I don't want to waste any more time with them. Just hoping I can limp it along for a couple more years until I can afford to replace it.

Our foil cabinet fronts started bubbling after a few years. Our brand new kitchen renovation looks awful because of these fronts. It was also painstaking dealing with customer service who responded as if nothing was wrong with their product and that it must be the conditions in our kitchen. They eventually sent us new fronts that we would have to pay someone to reinstall. Why would we want to put the same product up that lasts only a few years? The real question is why do they behave as though it's a one-time incident? Sort these reviews by one star and you'll see it's a common occurence. Why do they continue to sell this product? Their other products may be fantastic but the foil ones are not. Being a small business doesn't mean you have to continue to sell inferior products. They should fully refund their customers who have had to pay additional money to replace their front with a different product. Take a loss, stop selling the product, and maybe all these poor reviews will turn into favorable ones.

Remodeling soon? Get yourself over to the Semihandmade showroom on Broadway. Juliette is warm & friendly. Just what you want when your pulling a room together.

Semihandmade is simply a wonderful company. I had great communication with them throughout the whole process from before for my purchase until after installation. I used Ikea kitchen cabinets in my bathroom with the paint grade slab fronts and it looks custom and beautiful. The only thing I don't love about my choice is that the IKEA kitchen cabinets are deeper than a typical standard bathroom cabinet which puts you farther away from the mirror than you normally would be. This is something I did not foresee and if I'm being honest I don't love that aspect of it. Probably since I'm in my 40's and my close up vision isn't quite what it was a few years ago! ; ) That has nothing to do with semihandmade it's just something to think about if you decide to use Ikea kitchen cab's in a bathroom. The extra counter space is a nice trade off, however! Lastly, if I had it to do over again I'd probably pick one of Semihandmade'a existing colors or finishes. Having to get the doors painted on top of everything else in our renovation proved to be more hassle than I'd have guessed and I don't think our painters did a fantastic job. They are good but not great. Again, no fault of Semihandmade. I attached a before / after

The person in the showroom made the consult totally uncomfortable. I did not feel welcome. I took the time to travel to the showroom and took time out of my day just to be barely spoken to. I made the most out of it- and at least saw the materials - but likely not to use this company.

UPDATE OF COURSE IT CAME DAMAGED. It arrived on a pallet, was 600 pounds, AND they hired only one guy to deliver it. One person. For 600 pounds. When we opened it SEVERAL pieces were completely damaged. I reported it within 3 business days and guess what? They didn't reply at all. Guess it's time to get a lawyer.

The cabinet doors looked great for about 4 1/2 years only. Then I noticed some small bubbling and rippling in corners. Slowly it started to spread throughout the face of the doors eventually becoming very noticeable and clearly defective. I currently have 7 defective doors. (I spent just under $5,000 on the cabinet doors). I've been notified by semihandmade that I'm past warranty and I have to purchase new doors in order to remedy the situation. They offered me a 25% discount on new doors with a 5 year warranty. (Their site usually offers a discount so at best I'm being offered 5%-15% off). If they only offer a 5 year warranty and won't repair their product, their company is lousy. So if you want to purchase new cabinet doors every 5 years this is the right company for you. I will be replacing my doors with Ikea and kicking myself eternally for supporting this awful company in the first place. Huge regret.

Just received my walnut cabinets after a long wait. The design process was great and why I chose Semihandmade. They took my ikea plans and turned them into a cart. Super Easy! However, I am pretty let down by what I just received. The inside of the cabinets are covered with a beautiful veneer with lots of the typical walnut variation. However, on the fronts they use a veneer with almost no variation... makes no sense and it really disappointing since you can't return them. If you want walnut cabinets, I recommend going somewhere where they let you select which veneer. I asked Semihandmade if I could do this and they told me no. $7K late I have some okay cabinet fronts but I'm not in love like I hoped to be. On the few fronts that have variation there is also really weird looking vertical lines that looks pretty bad. Again... Go somewhere else for walnut cabinets where you can pick your veneer. In response to the company response, this is a bad veneer and not worth the over $7k I paid for just fronts. There is no variation in the grain so it just looks striped like something fake from IKEA, the weird vertical line streaks look like issues with the stain not being taken evenly, and there are multiple fronts where the edge tape was damaged when assembled and instead of replacing. They just added wood filler. This is a new product and is already patched...

I really love Semihandmade. I used them for my cabinet fronts with my 2019 kitchen reno. I currently need to replace my kitchen counter from some damage and found out that Semihandmade now serves as a middleman for CeasarStone (it didn't at the time of my original renovation). So I made a virtual appt to consult on their offerings, but then got a call from Semihandmade about skipping the virtual appt and just coming into the office -- to view samples and chat next steps. Now, I live in a Brooklyn apartment (which was discussed on my call), and I would think that most people who work in kitchens would have a strong knowledge that Brooklyn apartments are not huge -- and therefore the project size would not be huge. I was never asked the size of CeasarStone that I needed. I came into Manhattan for my appointment, to be told within seconds of showing my plan that I didn't meet the size minimum. That is information that can and should have been asked prior to me coming in, and left my visit to the showroom mainly as a waste of time.

This review is for their showroom experience only, not the quality of product or the whole ordering process since we have not decide to work with them yet. It was easy to request to come in and set up the time to meet their staff which right now with the pandemic, They are being more cautious to limits the amount of people to be in there. They have the finishes and colors to show you in person which is helpful. But I'm quite surprised how small the show room is, not a lot of live examples of the kitchen to shown other than the small planks. They also have some examples for boxi which is their own version of IKEA cabinets but with better quality(according to their words, looks kinda the same to me) and higher price point too. It does look nice with the design, but unfortunately it only comes in black now and they are most likely not going to have any other color because it just launched couple months ago! We would've go with a white one right away if they have it, but they don't which is disappointing :( please consider that, white is such a common color that goes with everything, to not have it as an option sounds like a big mistake! Anyway, staff was nice and helpful. We don't have all the exact measurements but she has some mock-up kitchen which has a breakdown pricing that we can use to gauge the overall cost.

Full Disclosure- I DID NOT PURCHASE my cabinet fronts from them. Having said that, I was very much ready to, plans sent, paid my $99 to get them to look it over, etc. Everyone was very responsive and eager to answer any questions via email within 24-48 hours. Unfortunately we went in a completely different direction and didn't do IKEA cabinets at all (there is another company in Miami we ended up using that is better quality, not too much more expense wise and they do the install as well, a no brainer). But I will consider them next time based on my experience. They were kind enough to refund my $99, as we really didnt get too far in the process. Good business I thought.

We have used SemiHandmade products in our kitchen and office/library and we're very happy with the quality and how easy it is to design and install. The SH is very helpful from start to finish. For our kitchen, we opted for the Walnut fronts to go with the IKEA bases. 5 years later and the quality is still there and our kitchen looks amazing. We recently completed our office/library and used the DIY slab fronts and floating shelves which we painted to give the space a custom built in look. Both our kitchen and office/library look amazing and cost much less than any other custom option on the market.

I ordered the godmorgon vanity door fronts for my bathroom remodel. Took about 2.5 weeks for "customization" and delivery. They sent an email inquiring about delivery and I mentioned the fact that there weren't pre drilled holes for the expensive handles I ordered with the fronts and ultimately expressed that I wouldn't use them for my next remodel. I was then sent an email from the company's founder stating he has done over 20,000 jobs and NEVER heard any negative feedback about not providing pre drilled holes, essentially stating I (the customer) am the problem. Totally unprofessional. Glad I didn't spend any additional money with this company. Edited since receiving feedback from company: My name isn't Bridget. Again, it shows how little you value your customers. Anyone considering Semihandmade, please take note.

Briauna was very helpful in taking me through the process of ordering cabinet fronts and panels for my kitchen. She was also unusually patient and kind in answering various questions I had throughout the process. I'm much looking forward to my new cabinet fronts!

UPDATE: It's great that Semihandmande is a Yelp member. Here we are less than a week later. Ryan reached out the day after my review was published and asked about my experience. After researching my case, the very next business day they've refunded me the extra shipping charge and the expediting fee. Awesome company, great product! If you are in the market for a new kitchen, please think of IKEA. Trust me they'll be the best cabinets you've ever owned. In addition, if you do not like the cabinet doors nor colors IKEA is offering at that time, see Semihandmade. Their custom doors, drawer fronts, panels, and toekicks are made for IKEA's kitchens. They are beautiful!

We ordered our SemiHandmade cabinetry in 2022 and we're finally getting to the point of install. Summer has been our main point of contact and initially helped us with an issue from our original order. Since then, she has gone above and beyond as our project rolled out and questions/additional orders arose. Overall we're very pleased with the product and have been so thankful to have such kind, responsive, and knowledgeable customer service representatives to help us through such a large project!

Not Military Friendly!!!' We wanted to purchase their door fronts and have them delivered to Virginia. We are moving to Hawaii and plan to move them in our pack out. Semihandmade would not do business with us. The were hard to get responses from. Our salesman was terrible.

I have designed and installed over 12 kitchens using Semihandmade. The first kitchen was back in 2016 using the DIY Slabs. We used the highest grade paint available B. Moore Cabinet paint 2 coats, plus 2 coats primer. These cabinets got another 2 coats of paint in 2020. They looked great until about 2022 when we noticed all the fibers in the MDF started separating and expanding. I thought maybe it might have been an early product defect that they had since fixed, so I reached out to the company and sent in a ton of pictures showing the issue. It was happening in several locations around the kitchen. Their response was that the warranty was for 2 years. They haven't changed anything about the product, and it's exactly the same. I am not sure which is more worrisome, the fact that they don't see this as an issue or the fact that they haven't improved their product in the last 7 years. I now know that they expect these fronts to last for only 2 years and don't stand behind their products. It's basically deposable cabinet fronts. They are affordable, but not priced as disposable. I will be only using other companies going forward, they cost about 10-15% more but the quality is far superior and they stand behind their products.
