And now to answer the biggest question you are wondering, do Klearvue cabinets hold up?

1.5 years later, my kitchen looks almost brand new and was the biggest draw for potential buyers when we sold our house. (17 showings in two days).

Lets break it down by durability, construction and maintenance.

Durability:

These cabinets are more durable than you would expect. No warping, no sagging of shelves. No real dings or scratches on the cabinet doors.

The only vulnerable piece of this cabinet is the cover panels. As I’ve mentioned before, they are softer and will dent if you accidentally lift a cooking pot to it. It’s a minor dent, only noticeable to me, but dented, nonetheless.

Construction:

The drawers are still working great. They soft close and still glide smoothly along the track.

The only drawer that caused some headache was the garbage pull out drawer. The metal frame that helps support the large front door came loose. I took it apart and glued the two pieces back together and problem was fixed.

Additionally, the cabinet doors are all opening and closing just fine, even after my kids have tried riding them.  The hinges are adjustable if you need to fix them.

Also, in a year’s time, I have not noticed any discoloration.

Maintenance Cleaning:

Once a month, I took a damp paper towel and washed the cabinets. I focused on the areas around the garbage cabinet, the stove, and the handle pulls. The cabinets were very easy to clean. Any hand oils could be cleaned up with just a push of my fingers.

The one area that was more difficult to clean was above the stove. The cooking oils left those cabinets lightly speckled. Fortunately, the specks could only be seen from the side and not straight on, but hard to clean, nevertheless.

Summary

Klearvue cabinetry was definitely the way to go for our starter home. The cabinet functionality felt high-end with a low price tag.

We recently moved into a larger gourmet kitchen, and I miss my soft close drawers. I may have to add it to my list of projects for tomorrow.

I hope this summary has helped answer some of your questions regarding Klearvue cabinets.

Helping you plan for tomorrow,
