Hampton Bay 18x30 Ready-to-Assemble Wall Cabinet vs Highland 18x30 Unfinished RTA Wall Cabinet

Both are 18 x 30 x 12 inch unfinished RTA wall cabinets, so the choice comes down to construction and hardware. The Highland is the stronger cabinet: 1/2 inch plywood box, two adjustable shelves, six-way adjustable soft-close hinges and finished ends. The Hampton Bay relies on ClickReady assembly and beech wood, and its listing does not spell out shelf count or hinge type. Buy the Highland if you want a sturdier box and better hinges; buy the Hampton Bay if you want the fastest assembly and a brand sold in one place.

• Choose the Hampton Bay if you want a simple ClickReady assembly and a cabinet backed by a large retail brand with a 4.6 rating from 238 buyers.
• Choose the Highland if you want a plywood box, two adjustable shelves, soft-close six-way hinges and finished ends.
