    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Peeling off at sides, we had to trim it off so that they would close completley.

    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.

    Semihandmade front (lower portion of photo) is significantly thicker than Ikea original and cannot be used.

    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!

    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.

    Damaged door

    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)

    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.

The store has an extensive inventory, although the showroom isn't large enough to display a significant portion of it. It appears to cater primarily to a higher-end clientele, with many visitors being interior designers rather than homeowners. As expected, prices tend to be on the higher side. If you know the manufacturer's stock number, you may be able to find some of the same items through online retailers such as Wayfair. However, for large purchases like bathtubs, it's worth considering the delivery experience. Ordering elsewhere may carry a greater risk of delays, logistics issues, or the absence of white-glove delivery services.
