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/Designer 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. |

After months of looking through samples and redoing layouts, we finally decided on the portland white cabinets and are so happy with the results. We turned our old, dated kitchen into a room we don't even recognize anymore, the white is such a great choice and really brightens up our kitchen. I liked the shaker style but didn't want to go with a traditional shaker since it seems to be everywhere, then I found the portland cabinets. They call these cabinets 'slim' shaker which gives the cabinets a little more of a modern feel which I love. We were able to find all the sizes we needed and also worked with a designer just to make sure we weren't forgetting anything. Delivery went smoothly, there was minor damage to one of the large panels which RTA reshipped out to us. Our kitchen looks great and we couldn't be happier!
My husband and I just renovated an in-law apartment in our home and used the Portland White finish for the small kitchen and bath. We are blown away by the quality and the features we received with these cabinets. They offer the perfect "cottage" feel and help the room feel bright and welcoming for our guests. We decided to use the very popular matte gold hardware which makes the cabinets pop against our subway tile backsplash. The cabinets have soft close features and we decided to add a desk drawer in the bathroom with the vanity for a little make-up area. We liked the quality and look of the cabinets so much that we are planning to renovate our main kitchen next with them (I just reached out to my designer to get started!) Overall, we would highly recommend these cabinets and the slim shaker style is subtle and unique!
I’m really impressed with the Portland White Cabinet Collection. The quality is fantastic - these cabinets are clearly well-made. The finish looks great and seems really durable. Buying them online was really easy, I wasn't sure how this process would go, I've never purchased anything like this online before, but the customer service was helpful when I had questions (I used chat most of the time). Delivery was quick and didn't take up much time at all, I had 2 people to help unload so that made the process a lot faster. No major issues on delivery, everything was in good shape (except for 1 toe kick we were missing, which was sent out a few days later). Overall, I'm so happy with the purchase and glad I did my homework about RTA cabinets . I was definitely nervous to pull the trigger but so glad I did!
I purchased the Portland White cabinets for a home we renovated and also got the Portland Navy cabinets for the island. I was a little nervous about mixing the two colors but it turned out so great! We wanted something durable and also easy to clean since we have 3 kids under the age of 6, this style is perfect because it doesn't have a ton of decorative elements in the door for dirt and grease to get into but isn't just a plain looking door either. And the island really stands out in the Navy color. It's been hectic not having a kitchen with 3 small kids but now that it's done, it was definitely worth it!
