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.

We love the cabinets! They are well made. Our shipment arrived on time and cabinets were just as as pictured. We are repeat customers. Our kitchen and laundry room look great! Would highly recommend these cabinets.
We worked with Lauren to design our cabinets. She was so easy to work with and made changes for us as I constantly changed my mind. She was very knowledgeable of what we would need and made great suggestions to enhance the cabinets. The whole process was so much easier than I thought it would be. I was pretty skeptical to order cabinets online. When they arrived, they fit perfectly. The customer service is top notch. Our contractor friends ordered from RTA and highly recommended the cabinets. The vanilla glaze is so warm and classy looking. Pictures don’t do it justice. It really blends with whatever color you put against it. These pieces are solid and great material. The soft close works beautifully. It’s great for homes with kids. I would highly recommend adding the drawer pullouts, organizers and lazy Susan. You won’t regret it. Our backsplash tile is from RTA too. It’s one of my favorite parts. I’m adding pictures, but our construction isn’t complete yet.
I love the color, the special pieces I bought (wine holder and microwave shelf). I love how I could customize my cabinets to my awkward kitchen layout. They better not discontinue this vanilla glaze one because I'll use it again in my next house!
I was initially nervous but the staff reassured me that I could assemble the units. Made it comfortable and enjoyable. The product is excellent, easy to assemble and the support/design staff are outstanding. Kristen in design did any amazing job and supported us through changes and additions. Highly recommend this company
The best customer service and excellent quality. Definitely recommend them.
I did my entire kitchen from here, the young lady that worked with me was fantastic. I knew exactly what I wanted including the sizes, she listened which was perfect for me. When I laid it all out she transferred it onto their program. We tweaked it slightly and I was ready to order, everyone I spoke with actually had the ability to listen and in this day and age that is difficult to come by, they weren’t pushy, they were delivered quickly & were nice quality. I would certainly recommend them to anyone interested in redoing their kitchen or bath
Professional Staff and Excellent Customer Service. The Box’s are sturdy and the Enginerring practical common sense design.
the cabinets are made very well and the color is great and we have put the set into our other house out of town people love the cabinets and color great workmanship.
