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. |

I am an architect, so I did not use the RTA design service, but I found it really easy to purchase all the pieces I needed to put my kitchen together. The cabinets are well maid, real wood and the composite parts are not MDF, they are multi-layer great quality plywood... very nice quality actually. I have had my kitchen for a year now and no problems whatsoever. We love it!
We love our new cabinets. The are just what we wanted. The RTA store had a designer to help with the placement of the cabinets and they had wonderful employees to help us with each step of the journey.
Amazing quality for the price
Easy to order, will do so again
The quality was above my expectations! Love them!
I ordered pre assembled cabinets. The two pullout drawers did not come preassembled and they were missing pieces. With that said, RTA was very good to send me the needed parts for the pullout drawers without additional charge. The cabinets are installed and they look great. If I was going to install cabinets in the future I would consider RTA Store along with outer options.
I find this RTA group to be a great organization to work with. Customer Service Rep. Stephanie Alaxander was Excellent. She followed up with my minor issue and made sure it was resolved. A+ Company
Love the cabinets. They look great but there were some issues with the craftsmanship in the pre assembled cabinets. Nothing was visible on the outside of the cabinets. I would 100% recommend.
Ordering and the people you work with are awesome. The shipping is always confusing and a nightmare.
Christine, Thank you for your outstanding professionalism and genuine care during our discussions. You made me feel valued as a customer, and your expertise gave me complete confidence in my decision. I look forward to tackling many more projects together. Thanks again for everything! Warm regards, Jessica Towne
Great experience from start to finish
