CARB stands for California Air Resources Board, also known as Air Resources Board (ARB). It is a department of the California Environmental Protection Agency. It was established in 1967 with the purpose of maintaining and improving air quality, and researching causes and solutions of air pollution. CARB's mandates, such as CARB 2 compliant MDF, are strict and usually are considered the standard across the United States.
What is CARB Phase 2 Compliant?
CARB Phase 1 and Phase 2 are a part of California's Composite Wood Products Regulation (CWP Regulation), which took effect in 2009 with Phase 1. The regulation has to do with reducing formaldehyde emissions from composite wood products, hardwood plywood, particleboard and medium density fiberboard (MDF). In the 2009 rollout of the CARB's Airborne Toxic Control Measure (ATCM), formaldehyde emissions were capped at .08 parts per million (ppm). CARB Phase 2 went into effect in 2010 and has much lower formaldehyde emissions than the previous phase; set at .05 ppm. A main reason why the CARB ATCM is the strictest air quality measure is because it CAPS emissions levels. Other air quality standards are averages.

| Installation/Design Note: |
The full-overlay door style leaves roughly a 1/4" clearance on the edge. If installed directly against a wall or deeper cabinet and a cabinet door opening of at least 90 degrees is desired, scribe molding should be installed between the cabinet and the wall (or deeper cabinet). If not, the door may not be able to open a full 90 degrees. For a full opening, a space of at least 1/4-1/2" is necessary, a larger space may be needed depending on the decorative hardware used on the cabinets. The cabinet depth measurement listed is the depth from the front of the face frame to the back of the cabinet, and does not include the cabinet door depth. Schematic images and renderings are generic and may not represent exact construction details for each collection. The exact specifications for this collection can be found in the construction details listed above. |

We have been using our cabinets for almost a year and are very pleased with the quality of the cabinets and the durability of the finish. Everything wipes off easily with water. No chemicals have been necessary.
We bought pre- assembled cabinets. They are great quality and our new kitchen looks great at an affordable price! Shipped without incident and were better quality than I expected. Very happy with our purchase.
Perfect design of a galley kitchen, zero defects in $9K worth of cabinetry
Quick shipment we’ll pack.
Good quality cabinets. Customer service was extremely helpful; which led us to purchasing the product!
Quality construction and finish. Free design service was excellent.
Very nice experience. Cabinets seem of good quality. So far we only have the upper cabinets put together. Only two problems so far. Only two of the cabinets came with the plastic stick on bumpers. I bought an order from amazon rather than trying to get them from RTA. One of the uppers had some slight problem with the plywood splitting. I bought extra screws to fix the problem, not a big deal. Overall very pleased with the cabinets for the money.
We only ordered two cabinets for our laundry room. Both arrived in separate shipments, one was about a week later than the other. Though the cabinets were fairly well packaged, bit sustained limited damage. Since most of the damage would be hidden in the installation, we opted to not bother with a return. The assembly wasn't too hard but the instructions were a little inadequate. We received parts that were not needed for our cabinets so that caused some confusion as well. After install, the cabinets feel sturdy, have a nice finish, and look great. The filler pieces math matched the cabinets perfectly but we ended up buying moulding locally because the extra length of the moulding made shipping too expensive. A $60 molding added $100 to the shipping cost. All in all, we're happy and would buy from again.
