Design House Brookings Shaker Wall Cabinet 18x30 vs Highland 18x30 Unfinished RTA Wall Cabinet

Both are 18x30x12 single-door wall cabinets with soft-close hinges and two adjustable shelves, so the real split is finish and assembly. The Design House Brookings arrives finished in espresso with solid wood doors and a shaker face, so it goes up and looks done. The Highland is unfinished, so you sand, prime and paint or stain it to match your kitchen, and its 1/2-inch plywood box is a solid base for that work. Buy the Brookings for a quick finished install; buy the Highland if you need a custom color or are matching existing cabinets.

• Choose the Design House Brookings if you want a finished espresso shaker cabinet that installs without painting and matches a dark, modern kitchen.
• Choose the Highland if you plan to paint or stain to match your existing cabinets and want an unfinished box you can finish yourself.
