RCT Kitchen Quality Guide
Quality Guide
How do you know the di erence between similar quality levels, such as Semi-Custom and Custom? MSB knows that identifying the quality level of a kitchen can be di cult, so we have created a Guide to help RCT users better understand the di erences between the 7 di erent quality levels of kitchens: Basic, Builders Grade, Semi-Custom, Custom, Designer, Luxury and Commercial.
MSB's Kitchen Quality Guide allows the user to estimate a kitchen's quality level by using three characteristics: Cabinetry, Countertops and Features.
USING THE QUALITY CHART Use the descriptions in the Quality Chart or Photos in the guide to assist in determining the characteristics:
