Save days on site
No assembly step, so the install starts as soon as the cabinets arrive.
Assembled
ECG sells pre-assembled cabinets wholesale to contractors, builders and dealers: built and delivered to the jobsite in 1–5 days, so your installer starts setting boxes on day one.

Why assembled
Assembled cabinets move labor off your schedule and onto ours.
No assembly step, so the install starts as soon as the cabinets arrive.
A small crew can install a full kitchen without a separate assembly day.
Doors, drawers and hinges arrive in place, with nothing to sort or lose.
Side by side
Same cabinet, two ways to receive it.

| Freight and storage | Flat-packed, smaller footprint in the truck and warehouse | Full-size boxes, more space per cabinet |
| Time on site | Assembly before installation | Ready to install on arrival |
| Box and door | Same 1/2" plywood box and 5-piece solid wood door | Same 1/2" plywood box and 5-piece solid wood door |

Installation
ECG does not install cabinets. We supply and deliver, and your crew or installer handles the install, so you keep control of the schedule and the margin.
For a general contractor running several trades, an assembled kitchen cabinet removes one task from the schedule: boxes come off the truck ready to set, so the installer starts on the same day.

FAQ
Pre-assembled cabinets arrive built, with doors, drawers and hardware in place, ready for your installer to set, level and fasten.

Yes. Choose "Both" on the quote form and we quote each option, so you can compare labor and freight for the job.
Orders are delivered in 1–5 days to your business or jobsite, with no minimum order.
East Coast Cabinetry Group delivers fully assembled Shaker cabinets from Charlotte, NC to 31 states and Washington, DC in 1–5 days, or you can pick them up by will-call in Charlotte.
Usually the cabinet price is higher because assembly is done at the factory and the cartons take more freight space. Compare it with your own crew's assembly hours, using a quote with both formats.
