Holy cow, man! That looks great! I was planning to order from L.A. and you've boosted my confidence. Might also do some of the labor myself too! Like the idea of saving some cash. Thanks for posting this.
Turned out great thanks for sharing. I ordered from them. I’m having problems with wrong cabinets send. Hopefully I can get it done sooner if they ever send me the right cabinets.
Thank you Gray for a pretty informative video. I just began researching for solid wood cabinets for my kitchen. I came across Lily Anne site, I am interested so I popped on over to UA-cam for some reviews and came across you’re video. I just wanted to touch base with you to see how they are holding up and or if there is anything you would do different now? Also was wondering if you did the actual 3D layout or if you just submitted layout with measurements? My only concern is I’m tearing out a half wall that’s next to the fridge and is the entrance to the dinning room then on the opposite side of that doorway entry into the dinning room is a big pantry with double folding style doors that I’m also tearing out, this will make it all open floor plan to living room and dinning room. I’m concerned I will make a wrong decision with new cabinet layout, I guess that is where the 3D layout might be of great help. Thank you for great video and any suggestions you may have for me.
Thanks Kim! The cabinets are doing quite well. I live where we have lots of foundation issues and although I had mine repaired there is always just a bit of movement. A couple joints on the doors, the paint shows a small crack. You can barely see it. But everything is good. I would recommend that you talk to their design peeps. They helped me head off a major issue with my corner cabinet and it was worth it. I drew out all my space, then sent in the plans and then they caught my mistake. One thing I recommend is making sure you get all the correct pieces when delivered in case you need to call them before assesmbly. And also lay out the whole set in your living room before install. Be prepared for un-even floors and be sure to have shims and levels ready. Also use Cabinet screws these have a square heads and keep you from stripping the heads when you drill in the studs. Be sure to find and mark the studs above and below the cabinets because you cant see them in the back as these are solid. Good luck!
I have obtained quotes from 7 different vendors of cabinets, including Lily Ann. Trying to decide between them and another vendor -- very close quotes. Watching your video to see what might be helpful to me in making a decision.
Did u buy the pre-assembled or did u assemble them yourself? I got their sample of this exact style it’s MDF that’s why they chip easily. That’s my only concern
Really, thank you so much for your time and effort in vlogging your adventure. We're in the process of considering Lil Ann Cabinets vs China Import Solid Wood Cabinet (similar assembly efforts / quality it seems).
One of the most helpful videos I’ve watched on UA-cam. I’ve been buying cabs from CLIQ studios, but apparently they just changed ownership and prices went up like 33%. So I’m looking for a cheaper alternative. As far as I can tell, components are almost identical. The material quality seems good! Thank you so much for the detailed vlog!!!
Actually yes! They are holding up fine! I think I might have chosen to get a stained version, only because I can see slight cracks on some corners of the doors. But I have foundation problems this can be expected.
They look really nice! I just ordered from them.
Great!
@@GrayKinney A little worried about putting them together. LOL But we'll get a team going. I think the hubbie would kill me if I took too long. heehee
@@taunyaw2181 It was prety easy, just make sure you have all the pieces before you start!
Great looking kitchen!
Can we get an update on the cabinets to date?
OMG. U DID A GREAT JOB! LOOKS FABULOUS.
Thanks!

Go for it!
Lilly Ann is a great cabinet distributor. This is who we use on our flips.
Very nice quality cabinets at a good price also very easy to assemble.
Turned out great thanks for sharing. I ordered from them. I’m having problems with wrong cabinets send. Hopefully I can get it done sooner if they ever send me the right cabinets.
Yup, They did that to me too on one cabinet. Good luck!
Great job just ordered mine!
Excellent! Glad to help!
Turned out great man. I've been considering Lily Ann Cabinets for my home.

Great time-lapse of the install! Thanks for sharing your perspective.
Your welcome! Hope it helps!

My husband and I are considering Lily Ann for our kitchen. Thanks for the review! What glaze did you go with by chance? They look beautiful!
Its an Antique White, there isn't a real shininess to them, but they are still holding up!

Who did you end up getting your cabinets from? Are you happy with the choice?
How's the quality of the carcass itself and the finish coat? Does it seem pretty robust?
Did u buy the pre-assembled or did u assemble them yourself? I got their sample of this exact style it’s MDF that’s why they chip easily. That’s my only concern
I assembled them myself, you can see in the video doing it. Not sure what you got, mine were all wood.
What style did you choose? Was it the Bristol linen white with deep ebony glaze?
Great job! Where did you get the molding? Did that come from Lily Ann?
Yes same place.
what is the color of your cabinets.
A creme white.
Antique White

Your welcome! Good luck!
You bet!
where did you go for the counter tops.
I had a local counter guy install it.
I had a contractor install them
Thanks Gray! This was great! I may consider Lily Ann after watching your review.
Your welcome! Glad to help!
Appreciate it!

Are you still happy with the quality of the cabinets after almost a year of use? thanks in advance
Actually yes! They are holding up fine! I think I might have chosen to get a stained version, only because I can see slight cracks on some corners of the doors. But I have foundation problems this can be expected.
I am. There are minor scratches, but all is holding on.
